When I turn it on for the first time, it sounds like it is only filling with a trickle. Hobart tech says it could be a clog. The psi only reaches about 14 during rinse and fill, but during initial fill, it sits on zero as the water trickles in. Where would the clog be. The dishes seem to come out very clean however

You are having a problem with the fill valve. If the unit fills AT ALL, with the power off, the fill valve is the issue.
It is a gold color valve behind the front kick panel. It has a large castle-like cap. Sometimes debris is the cause of your failure. (50/50). Turn off the water, and just take it apart slowly and pay attention to the plunger and spring. Take out the diaphram and screen, and clean it. There should be just one small hole in the diaphram. If cleaning doesn't help, you need to buy a rebuild kit. If you get the "ML" off the data plate, I can get you the kit P/N.
good luck
