Hobart 24 in. LXIH-3 Built-in Dishwasher Logo
Judy Platt Posted on Dec 22, 2009

After pressing On - the dishwasher just sits are about 80 degrees and doesn't get any hotter when normally it goes up to about 118. Can we still use it to wash or is something wrong?

I have the same problem on a lx18c, I read in the manuel that the machine is set at the long cycle time of 140 seconds for the 80 degree temp. The Machine says it has different cycle times, I want to know if changeing the cycle times to a shorter setting will get the machine to heat up. I checked the temp on the water supply at 100 degrees.

A hobart LXIH-3 uses a chemical to sanitize however a 120 degree wash temp is required as well.

Turn up your hot water tank that supplies the dishmachine, make sure your sanitizer is pumping into the rinse cycle using micro-clorine test papers and all is well.

    There is a hi limit that is connected to the sump heater, remove the bottom panel and where the heater wires are connected you will see a hi limit, push the red button to reset it.

How do a find a location in google maps using coordinates

Go to Google Maps. Type or paste the GPS coordinates into the search field and press Enter. As long as the coordinates you entered are correct, Google Maps automatically shows you that location with a red marker.
Google Maps accepts three different formats for GPS coordinates:
1. DMS: Degrees, minutes, and seconds: 34°01'46.6"N 118°28'11.3"W
2. DMM: Degrees and decimal minutes: 34 1.77666, -118 28.18836
3. DD: Decimal degrees: 34.029611, -118.469806
Note that each of these notations use examples for the same location. Each have two sets of numbers: one for the latitude and one for the longitude. These two numbers are normally separated by a space in DMS notation, while DMM and DD notation separate them with a comma and a space.

  1. open Google Maps.
  2. In the search box at the top, type your coordinates. Here are examples of formats that work: Degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS): 41°24'12.2"N 2°10'26.5"E. ...
  3. You'll see a pin show up at your coordinates.

My 2010 dodge journey is running hot and the heater is blowing cold air. Temp goes back down to normal while driving. No indicator lights r on. Is it the thermostat or heater core?

Most likely neither is the problem, to verify the heater core is ok go under the hood and touch the heater core coolant supply hoses (hot engine) one will be really hot and one a little cooler, if this is the case the heater core is ok and you have another problem, that other problem is most likely a failed part or parts called the air temperature control blend door motor or door is defective. Also I doubt the engine is overheating, it gets hotter while sitting in traffic because the electric fan that cools the engine only comes on at about 225 degrees Fahrenheit. If you had an overheat condition the check engine light would also come on to alert you of the overheating condition.

SNS appears on digital screen

This indicates the the 2 installed temp sensors are having a reading the is more than 2 degrees in difference. It is either a failed sensor, or one of the sensors is not fit snuggly into the header.
To test a sensor, turn your multimeter on OHMS or RESISTANCE and connect probes to each wire. at 80 degrees, the sensor should read 93 OHMS. At 70 degrees it should read 118 OHMS
at 60 degrees it should read 153 OHMS

My engine tempreture gets above 80 degrees for just 20 km drive. Is this normal?

I had the same problem and went by the meercedes dealer and was told this is the normal temp range regardless of the km. They indicated the range should be above 80. Note it will problem reach this temp zone quicker on hotter days with use of your AC. The dealership can verify this and may add some antifreeze if needed.

KENMORE DISHWASHER CLEAN LIGHT BLINKS SEVEN TIMES M#665.17029403

The thermistor beneath the accumulator inside the sump detects the water temperature as it begins the first 8 minutes of the main wash cycle. During this time, the controller expects the thermistor to detect the 2-4 degrees rise in the water temperature when the first 8 minutes is completed. If the expected temperature rise is not met, the controller will not be satisfied. It will shut the dishwasher down and blink the clean light 7 times. Press the heated dry then normal wash buttons in the same sequence two times. The unit will enter diagnostics mode, but can be stopped by pressing the cancel button. It will clear the fault and makes the dishwasher run normal but the fault will appear again if you have problem in either of the following:
  1. Heater and its circuitry
  2. Water filling
  3. Pumping motor
If the heater is not working, the water temperature will not rise then controller will shutdown the machine.
If there's no water entering the machine, no water will be heated and there's no way the controller through the thermistor can detect any rise in temperature.
If the pumping motor is not working, the water cannot circulate over the heater and be heated. Again, the controller will not be satisfied.

You can bypass this fault detection feature by filling the machine either with extremely cold or extremely hot water. Water colder than 62 or hotter than 160 degrees Fahrenheit will make the controller not to check for a temperature rise but rather continue on the next cycle.
Please let me know if the problem still bother you.

Car over heats

around 220 is about the high end of normal operating temperature,watch it carefully and if it gets ANY hotter than that then drive it right away to a highway or get it up to at least 40 mph and it will cool down to approx.150 degrees,Make sure there is enough antifreeze in it first.Also listen for the cooling fan to come on when it gets to 200-210 degrees,you may need a new cooling fan motor which is about $60.00 plus labor

Water not hot nor warm

When you run the hot water at the kitchen sink until it is hot and start a cycle on your dishwasher, is water hot when you open the door after it stops filling?
If no, the diswasher is connected to the cold water line, not the hot water line. The water temerature entering should be a minimum of 120 degrees but no hotter than 140 degrees.
If the water going in is hot, but it cools down after each filling then the heating element has failed and needs to be replaced. When the heating element fails, the dishes, especially the glassware will be foggy and still dirty.
Please reply with what you find. Good Luck!
