Hobart SR24-H Built-in Dishwasher - Page 2 Questions & Answers
Temp. too hot
First off, the temp adjustment can only be made by a trained service tech, since the dishwasher will need to be reprogrammed to allow for a lower temperature in the rinse cycle but still have the higher temp needed in the wash cycle. Also, since any change in the water temp settings will require a longer wash and rinse cycle to be programmed into the unit.
Of course, you could simply lower the water temp on the water heater that supplies water to this unit, but you'd have lower temp water elsewhere and likely get cited at the next heatlh department inspection on that issue.
Since this is a commercial dishwasher, you might want to reconsider lowering the temp, since health codes and standards for commercial establishments require a MINIMUM water temperarture of 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) for proper operation and to get all the crud off the dishes, etc.
Note, the manufacturer sets these units to the higher temp, 203 degree F (95 degree C) knowing that the water will cool down quickly once the wash cycle starts and the water contacts the dishes, etc. That is also why these units have a added heater element, to help keep the water at the correct temperature needed to both clean AND sanitize the dishes, according to established health standards.
If you really want to change the water temp settings, contact your Hobart service rep and explain the reason you want it lower and see what they say.
Hope you found this very helpful and best regards!

Heating elements don't need to "look" clean to work proper. I would use a wire brush to remove the looser stuff, and ignore the rest. A thin scale layer is not a big deal for an element.
I'd stick with the rubber plugs. They work pretty good if you get them in all the way. New arms would be pretty expensive. Just buy a few extra plugs. And don't cut yourself installing them!!
Hobart AM15-1 Low Temperature Dishwasher. Techs question. I just replaced main board and relay board but now getting a E1 error code, curious if anyone knows what it is?
Question edited for clarity.
Error codes should be on the rear label according to the Technical Manual
https://www.partstown.ca/modelManual/HOB-AM15T_spm.pdf
There is no E1 error code for that machine and is is suggested that the display may be faulty.

The only reference to E1 is here, for the AM-16 and an electrical 'type'.

For LXi machines
Drain and fill error messages are displayed as E0, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6 or E7. In all cases, the dishwasher will terminate current cycle operations, turn off all heat sources and display the message until the OFF button is pressed. (A power drain will not occur when turned off.) (See Troubleshooting.) If problem persists, contact your local Hobart Service Office

Hobart AM-14 dishwasher is constantly filling with water.
Question edited for clarity and written English.
It is a professional machine, you have it serviced professionally by your local Hobart Service Centre and claim the repair against your expenses. The machines are way beyond the capabilities of someone that can just buy parts online.
It is either incorrectly wired or the control board or relays are are failing / failed.

What is wrong with Hobart dish machine says check water level
1.Loss of water pressure due to pump obstruction. Check for any obstruction at the pump intake.
2.Strainers clogged causing inadequate water supply to pump.
3.something may be inhibiting free movement of the low water float; remove any foreign object from around the low water float or its magnet.

Hobart AM14, the float assembly keeps failing. We are on our 4th one. Ruled out heat, electrical and we also replaced the main board. Anyone experienced this before?
It sounds like you're experiencing recurring issues with the float assembly on your Hobart AM14 dishwasher. You've already ruled out potential causes such as heat and electrical issues, and have even replaced the main board to try to resolve the problem. However, you're still encountering failures with the float assembly, which is unusual given that the dishwasher has been in use for 18 years without any prior issues with the float.
Without additional information or an on-site inspection, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the float assembly failures. However, some potential causes could include:
- Damage or wear to the float assembly parts: Over time, the float assembly parts may become worn or damaged, which can affect their performance and lead to failures.
- Water quality issues: Poor water quality, including high mineral content or excessive amounts of chemicals, can damage the float assembly or cause it to malfunction.
- Improper installation: If the float assembly is not installed correctly, it may not function properly and could fail prematurely.
- Inconsistent usage: If the dishwasher is not used consistently or is used excessively, this could put strain on the float assembly and cause it to fail more frequently.
It's important to work with a qualified technician who has experience with Hobart AM14 dishwashers to diagnose and resolve the issue. They can inspect the dishwasher, including the float assembly and other components, and identify any potential causes of the failures. From there, they can recommend the appropriate course of action to resolve the problem and prevent future failures.

Hobart AM15-1 dishwasher. Good morning, why does 'DP' appear on the display and immediately after that it starts washing and does not show the temperature on the display?
Question edited for a lot more clarity. All question need FULL 'make model (what it is)'.
Question moved from laundry Washing Machines to Hobart Dishwasher category.
'DP' or 'PD'?
PD is not an error code. It shows that when it draining water out shortly after power-up and when shutting down. If it seems to be showing "PD" longer than usual, it means the dishwasher's control circuitry believes there is still water in the tank, due to a faulty water level probe, most like the one under the lift-out screen. It has a plastic body with a metal probe coming out the center.
There is also a dual probe at the rear of the machine, but I believe the dishwasher uses the front probe to determine when to stop draining the machine during "PD" - most likely meaning "Power Drain" or "Power Draining".
If you are not seeing any E- codes (E1, E2, E3, etc.) then these water level probes are likely just fine and the "PD" is appearing normally, as it should during draining conditions.
Manual just for fun.
