Dishwasher Spare Parts

A professional dishwasher in a restaurant or canteen can process 1,000–3,000 dishes per day — this intensive workload wears out rubber gaskets, spray arms and pumps at a predictable rate. Preventive replacement of spare parts before damage occurs ensures continuous operation and prevents situations where the dishwasher stops mid-shift. BHS offers dishwasher spare parts to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Most frequently replaced spare parts

Door gaskets and seals — the silicone gasket around the dishwasher door perimeter provides a hermetic seal during washing. A worn gasket allows hot water and steam to leak, reducing washing efficiency and potentially causing moisture problems on surrounding surfaces. Rotating spray arms — the upper and lower spray arms distribute water jets to clean dish surfaces. Clogged or damaged spray arms reduce washing efficiency. Wash pump — circulates water through the spray arms during the wash phase. A worn pump creates noise and reduces pressure. Drain pump — removes dirty water after the wash cycle. A faulty pump leaves water in the tank. Filter screens and belts — prevent food particles from entering the pumps. Regular cleaning and replacement are critical. BHS helps find parts for specific models.

HACCP requirements for dishwasher maintenance

A dishwasher is a critical HACCP control point — its operational efficiency directly affects dish hygiene and bacteria prevention. HACCP requirements: wash temperature not less than 55–65°C, final rinse at 82–85°C or with a disinfectant. Clogged spray arms can reduce water pressure and temperature achievement — this is a critical HACCP warning. Regular inspection of rubber gaskets prevents steam leaks, which lower the effective washing temperature. BHS helps with planning dishwasher maintenance to meet HACCP standards.

Maintenance schedule and preventive replacement

Daily: clean filter screens, check spray arm nozzles, visual inspection for limescale. Monthly: disassemble and deep-clean spray arms, check door gasket condition, calibrate detergent and rinse aid systems. Every 6 months: acoustic and power check of the pump, limescale removal procedure, inspection of electrical connections. Annually: full technical maintenance with pump replacement as needed, thermostat calibration. BHS helps plan the maintenance schedule based on the model and intensity.

HoReCa usage scenarios

In a restaurant serving 200 guests per day, preventive replacement of dishwasher spray arm gaskets every 6 months prevents situations where, during peak service, the machine stops due to clogged nozzles. In a canteen with large portion volumes, regular inspection of the drain pump ensures that water cycles proceed without hitches, maintaining clean dishwashers and efficient wash cycles. In a hotel with high breakfast dish volumes, spare spray arms and filters are kept in storage for immediate replacement when needed. BHS ensures the supply of spare parts for dishwashers.

Frequently asked questions

How to determine which dishwasher component is faulty? Symptoms help diagnose: water remains in the tank — drain pump; dishes not clean or with unclean areas — clogged spray arms or low pressure; heat issues — thermostat or heater; steam leaks — door gasket. BHS specialists help diagnose based on symptom descriptions.

Are spare parts available for all dishwasher brands? BHS offers parts for the main professional dishwasher manufacturers. Some specific parts may be ordered individually. Also check door gaskets for cold equipment.
