Slowly push it and watch the junction where this gets locked into the
rubber hose mouth inside the wash tub. There should not be any
water pressure leak.

Hi.
First ensure that the water supply temperature is not too low. Although the machine is a high temp self heatins, the water inlet temperature must be at 110F in this model.
If that is not the problem, then there is need to check heaters and thermostats. Booster heater or sump heater elements must be tested to ensure that they have continuity, the thermostats kits are also tested reading temperature at room, they must return zero or low impedance. If a thermostat or element reads open, then it must be replaced.

I would like to clean
there are few things you can do to remove the calcium deposits.....
Change the detergent you use. Powdered dishwasher detergent is more efficient in removing grease and oil than gels. Decreasing the gunk left on surfaces may help slow lime scale buildup.
Put a quart of vinegar or lemon juice in the bottom of an empty dishwasher and run it up to the "dry" cycle once a month to keep up with accumulating scale. Extended exposure to mild acid and hot water dissolves most scale.
Clean circulator arms with vinegar or lemon juice and a vegetable brush or toothbrush. Let the acid sit on the scale before scrubbing. Use a needle or hat pin to pierce clogged holes, then rinse by running a cycle with vinegar.
Use plain salt or baking soda to scour surfaces with a sponge or rag. Rinse with boiling water or run a cycle with an empty dishwasher. Do not run the dry cycle.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the direction your seller is leading you. I assume this machine is installed in some type of place where you are serving food to the public. If this is the case, then the local health inspector will expect to see a wash tank temp of 150F-165F and a rinse temp of 180F-195F.
With a wash temp of 170F, you risk a health violation for over-temps and this can also cause so food soils to get "baked" onto the wares. With a rinse temp of 170F the health violation is under-temp and you likely will not have good sheeting/drying action on the glasses, leading to a spotting issue.
Hobart sells this machine with an "optional" kit for external chemical dispensing, but if you have the base-model (which it sounds like you do) it does not come with any type of ports for chemical injection. If you are truley concerned about consistent, pleasing results, ie clean dishes, no spots, etc. Then it would be my advice to have Hobart install this kit, and then contact a local chemical supplier for proper chemistry (a detergent and a rinse additive) and balancing of the machine. Most chemical companies do not charge for installing their needed dispensers onto your machine, and do not charge for service calls. They only charge for the chemicals you use. I have a personal preference towards Ecolab, but that's just me...
If I am way off on this, meaning you're not serving to the public (just your family) and a health inspector would never see this machine, then just get some cascade and call it good...
I hope this helps and please let me know if I can be of any further assistance,

HI. Your model number is incomplete. In order to honor your request properly, I will need you to post the entire model number, asap.
Thanks..
Wash Temp will not get above 140
It depends on the design & the programming. By chance if the thermostat is faulty this can happen. However refer user manual and consult the service provider or the manufacturer!

Check your rinse aid dispenser. Check the drying system.
Clorine test by county health failed, what
Hello,
The first thing I would check is the chlorine pump's element tube (squeeze tube) The element tubes often get worn out and stop drawing chlorine through the pump and into the wash tank. Most chemical supplier will have these element tubes. The element tube is located in the chemical pump. The chemical pump is usually located just inside the front lower service panel of the machine.
