Hobart 24 in. LXIC-5 Built-in Dishwasher - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I'm a hobart tech---been away for awhile.What is the model lxih,lx30?Let me know if you still have a problem with it.

1. Low water pressure - check for clogged hose strainer; ensure the site water pressure meets minimum flow pressures. 2. Make sure probes are clean. (See Cleaning.) 3. No water pressure - main water supply valves may not be working. 4. Anti-siphon valve - located in the lower left area of the chamber just above the water line. Drain the machine and insert a toothpick or similar object into the hole to verify ball (" OD) is free to float.5. Delime machine. " OD) is free to float.

Hello. Have you find a wiring diagram for Ecomax 500-10 dishwasher ?

model # 750H3-18 hobart charger gets a abonormal shut down light after overnight charge on different machines.

you may be able to find out the code number by going to the manufactures web site enter your model number , and any other information it asks for . you might need to call fro service

How long is it taking? Does it stay in the wash cycle or advance into the drain cycle? Does it flash the word "fill"? Do you get an icon of a wrench with a number or letter? What is the flow pressure when it fills? should be 20 psi +-5.

Not sure if you have an LXIC or an LX30. Both have a pull out drawer at the top. Both have the main connection of power on the contactor in the front left corner. Both have control circuit fuses between the contactor and relay board. Use caution with a digital meter to test.

What type of detergent is not necessarily important - anything intented for use in commercial dishwashers should be sufficient. A restaurant supply store should have something suitable for you.Also, in case you don't already know, the LX30C is the non-booster-heater version of the LX30 (LX30H has a booster heater). Without a booster heater, you'll need to use chemical sanitizer. The LX30C should, hopefully, have a sanitizer pump installed to inject chemical sanitizer into the rinsewater stream. Most of these dishwashers also have a detergent pump to inject detergent into the wash tank and rinse aid pump for chemical rinse aid.If present, these pumps are located in the bottom of the machine. Remove the lower front panel (2 screws) and look for the small, black plastic assemblies with 2 hoses connected to each.

Do you realize that to sanitize with hot water alone requires 180 degree F water? I am a hobart technician and I've never seen any business or residence with hot water anywhere near that. Residential hot water is generally approx. 120, Commercial locations generally use approx. 140, but never near 180 (tap water that hot would be a severe safety problem). Hobart LXIH machines use a built in booster heater to boost the temperature of the incoming hot water up to the required 180 deg.

Hi

P2 error code in your Hobart dishwasher indicates a bad rinse thermister that should be replaced. To locate the thermister you can gain access to the back, then on the top right side you'll see a probe with two wires going in the rinse piping. The thermister is located next to the vac. brkr. , you can use a 7/16 wrench to unscrew it and replace it, will cost you around $70. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi,

Disconnect the power supply for few minutes, say 15 minutes and then turn it ON. If the problem persists, then read below :-

E6 stands for Temperature Probe Error.

You need to replace the temperature probe.Once replaced, it would solve the problem.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

I'm assuming you're not seeing any error codes such as E0, E1, E2, etc. which could be related to water level probes. Be sure all probes are clean, free of lime/scale buildup which can interfere with the machine's water level detection.

For this machine to drain, three things must happen:

1. Drain solenoid must energize and pull in to actuate the drain body.
2. Drain body then redirects pumped water to the drain hose instead of to wash arms.
3. Pump must run and pump water out.

Remove the lower-front access panel (2 screws). The Drain body is the plastic L-shaped part with two hoses attached. It is visible on the bottom side of the dishwasher, centered in the machine both Left-to-Right and Front-to-Rear. The Drain solenoid is immediately to the front of the drain body.

When the machine is supposed to drain, watch the solenoid and drain body. If the solenoid pulls in and the pump runs, but pumps water to the wash arms instead of out to the drain hose, then replace the drain body (drain body is usually to blame when draining problems occur).

If the solenoid does not pull in when the machine is suppose to drain, then unplug the solenoid connector and test the solenoid coil resistance with a multimeter; you should get a resistance of, I'm just guessing here, approximately 1000 ohms, maybe. At any rate, you should have some reading on the meter, not and open circuit. It you get no resistance reading, the solenoid is bad - replace the solenoid.

Hi.

If machine is in fault mode, and you get a fault with code 2 on display it means that the problem is when filling. Check if the tank is filling, check inlet and check the shut off valve.

There is one glued to the lower panel on the inside. Hobart is very tight lip'd when it comes to getting any info from their web site. Best I can do, sorry.

that is called the wash pipe the part# for the pipe is 893457. that can be bought @any hobart office in your area

in program mode you can cut down on san. time to pump

you have to go into program and activate the detergent pump.sounds like somebody deativated the det. program

diagram should be on inside of btm. kickplate

It sounds like the pump is gummed up and needs to be removed, disassembled and cleaned.

I thought it was designed for domestic bleach at 5.25%, and looking for a solution of 50 ppm of sanitizer and rinse water. Either the elbow is blocked, or the silicone tube in the pump has collapsed. Use rubber gloves and face protection when working on chemical tubing.
