Hobart Commercial Dishwasher Repair (AM, LX, & CL Series)

In a high-volume kitchen, a broken dishwasher brings operations to a halt. Whether you are dealing with inconsistent sanitization temperatures or clogged wash arms, we specialize in Hobart’s advanced filtration, booster heaters, and pump systems. We ensure your warewashing meets health safety standards and keeps your service running smoothly.

Common Hobart Dishwasher Issues

• E0 / E1: Fill Timeout. Machine didn’t fill in time. Fix: Check if the water supply valve is off or if the internal “S” strainer is clogged.

• E2: Drain Error. Water isn’t leaving the tank. Fix: Check the drain lever (manual) or the pump filter for debris like toothpicks or broken glass.

• E3: Heating Fault. The booster or wash tank isn’t hitting temp. Fix: Check the high-limit reset button (usually near the heater) or look for lime scale on the element.

• E5: Water Level Low. Water dropped during a cycle. Fix: Ensure the standpipe/drain stopper is seated correctly and not leaking water out.
• Door: Door Open. The machine won’t start. Fix: Check if the door magnet is missing or if the hood is misaligned.
• Cln / Delime: Maintenance. Not an error! The machine needs a delime cycle. Fix: Use Hobart-approved delimer and run the specific cleaning cycle.

Hobart Oven & Rotisserie Repair

Inconsistent heat or a malfunctioning door can disrupt your entire production schedule. We calibrate precision temperatures and replace faulty heating elements, ignition modules, or sensors, restoring your Hobart oven or rotisserie to its industrial-grade accuracy and high-output performance.

Hobart Planetary Mixers (Legacy Series)

Modern Hobart mixers (like the HL200 or HL400) have digital displays to prevent motor burnout.

• Err 10: Bowl Not Up. The mixer won’t start unless the bowl is in the fully raised position.

• Err 20: Bowl Guard Open. The wire cage (safety guard) is not closed or the magnet is dirty. Wipe the guard hinges.

• Err 30: Overload. The dough is too heavy or the speed is too high for the batch. Fix: Turn off for 5 minutes, reduce the batch size, and restart.

• Err 60: Drive Motor Fault. Often happens if the mixer is “plugged” into a cycle without being stopped properly. Fix: Press “Stop” and cycle the power.

Hobart Slicers (HS Series)

Slicer errors are almost always safety-related.

• Close Gauge: The thickness knob must be set to “0” before the slicer will allow you to start it or remove the blade.

• Sharpener Fault: If the top-mounted sharpener is not seated perfectly in its storage position, the motor is disabled for safety.

• No Volt Release: If the power goes out while the slicer is on, it won’t restart automatically when power returns. You must turn the switch off and then back on.

Hobart Scales & Wrappers

• E101 / E102: Load Cell Error. Something was on the scale when it was turned on, or the scale is physically “bottomed out.” Clear the platter and reboot.

• Check Printer: Usually a label jam or the “peel sensor” (the little eye that sees the sticker) is covered in adhesive dust. Clean with alcohol.

The “Service Wrench” Icon

On Hobart’s high-end Advansys machines, a wrench icon will appear. This is a Smart Service notification.

1. Check for “Add Salt”: If the internal softener is empty, the wrench will glow.

2. Filter Clogged: If the wash arms are spinning slowly due to pressure loss, the wrench may trigger.

3. Reset: Pressing and holding the “Off” or “Drain” button for 5 seconds often clears non-critical service warnings.

The OEM Advantage: For every service listed above, we use only genuine Hobart components to protect your equipment’s warranty, maintain NSF certification, and ensure a perfect fit for heavy-duty use.
