Why EMS Detergent?

Our first response would be: why not?

Our second response would be: we've got more experience than most, we're hyper-local and dedicated to you, not just our bottom line, and our products, services, and results speak for themselves. 

And also, why not?

Why is water spraying out of the top of the doors or out of the sides onto the tables?

A missing or bent spray arm end cap can cause water to rush out of the spray arm and through the openings on the machine.

Why did the machine not turn on?

This is a common issue that can be be troubleshot with a few steps:

1. Check the circuit breaker.

2. Push the roller on the door switch plunger on the front door of the machine.

3. Look to see if a rack is sitting against the table limit switch on the clean table.

4.Check the master switch to see if it will operate.

If none of those work, a service call may be required.
