Hobart A200 mixer won't start no power, any suggestions of next steps?
My experience with electrics has mostly been coffee grinders, hand held food blenders and vacuum cleaners but these are the checks I do. Sadly you'll have to open her up again to do these.
Personally I wouldn't use compressed air. Some compressor pressures can be a bit too powerful. I would suggest a vacuum. Stick the foot end of a pair of tights (pantyhose) over the nozzle that way you get suction but you don't lose nuts and screws up into the vacuum.
Opening her up again might reveal a loose wire you missed rebuilding it. That was my issue with a vacuum cleaner I rebuilt.
-Turn the motor by hand using the shaft the blade bolts to. Your feeling for it smoothly and quietly turning. If it's gritty, noisy or your getting tight spots there's dirt or something inside or a bearing is worn out.
-Test for voltage at every point where a wire ends and connects to something else like switches, circuit boards and the motor itself.
-Disconnect the wires to the motor and test for Continuity. Set your Multi meter to Ohms (the little horse shoe symbol) and touch the test probes, one each motor terminal. You should get a very low number somewhere near zero. Most multimeters will beep when you have continuity. If you get an 'L' or 'OL' there's a short or a broken wire.
-I would then do the same test across all the switches on the machine, wires off and test the switch. Just because they move doesn't mean they're working.
These steps usually work for me so give them a try, the multimeter won't hurt the machine.
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 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.

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.

I have a Hobart LXiH sanitizer/dishwasher and it doesn't fill with water, gives error code E3. Any input greatly appreciated.
Error code E3 on a Hobart LXiH sanitizer/dishwasher typically indicates a problem with the water fill system. Here are a few things you can check to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
- Water supply: Make sure that the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on and that there is adequate water pressure. Check for any kinks or blockages in the water supply line.
- Water inlet valve: The water inlet valve controls the flow of water into the dishwasher. Check to see if the valve is open and that there is no debris blocking the inlet. If the valve is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
- Water level sensor: The water level sensor is responsible for detecting the water level in the dishwasher. If the sensor is not working properly, it can cause the dishwasher to display an E3 error code. Check the sensor for any signs of damage or debris.
- Water pump: The water pump is responsible for pumping water into the dishwasher. If the pump is not working properly, it can cause the dishwasher to display an E3 error code. Check the pump for any signs of damage or debris.
- Control board: The control board manages all the electrical functions of the dishwasher. If the control board is faulty, it can cause the dishwasher to display an E3 error code. In this case, the control board will need to be replaced.

Hobart am15 AH code on start up
If your Hobart AM15 dishwasher is displaying an AH error code on start up, it usually indicates that there is an issue with the booster heater. AH stands for "Booster Heater Circuit".
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve the issue:
- Check the booster heater temperature sensor. It may be dirty or faulty, preventing the booster heater from functioning properly. Clean or replace the temperature sensor if necessary.
- Check the booster heater element for continuity. If the element is broken, it will need to be replaced.
- Inspect the wiring and connections between the booster heater and the control board. Loose or damaged connections can prevent the booster heater from functioning properly.
- Check the booster heater relay on the control board. If the relay is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the problem.

I have a Hobart 251 mig welder and when I turn it on the wire comes out of the the gun and won't stop till I shut it off ?
If the wire feed on your Hobart 251 MIG welder won't stop when you turn it on, there could be a few possible causes. Here are a few things to check:
- Check the trigger on the MIG gun: Make sure that the trigger on the MIG gun is not stuck or damaged. If the trigger is stuck in the "on" position, it will cause the wire to continuously feed.
- Check the wire feed motor: The wire feed motor could be faulty or jammed, causing the wire to feed continuously. Try disconnecting the wire feed motor from the welder and see if the wire still feeds. If it does not, then the motor is likely the problem.
- Check the wire spool: Make sure that the wire spool is installed correctly and is not jammed or tangled. If the wire is not feeding smoothly from the spool, it could cause the wire to feed continuously.
- Check the wire feed control settings: Ensure that the wire feed control settings are set correctly. If the wire feed speed is set too high, it could cause the wire to feed continuously.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it may be best to contact a qualified technician or the manufacturer for further assistance.
