Hobart lx 40 - problem D 1

It's a guess, because I haven't used Industrial Hobarts for a while, but the contactor unit for the pump is faulty. These are usually hidden behind the control panel or the bottom kick panel.

I hope this helps you :-)!

is it going to a rinse hold.awaiting instuction to finish wash?

Could Could the anti syphon blocked? I'm guessing the drain pump doesnt operate while this happens

Check the washer drain hose for clogs.

Use a commercial deliming agent (like Lime Away or LSR). Remove the rack from the dishwasher and close the door. Press Off to power down the machine. Next press and hold Wash (Delime) while pressing ON. Delime should show in the display. The unit will fill with water and then flash Add and Delime. Open the door and add the deliming agent according to the directions. (The sump holds about 3 gallons of water.) Close the door and press Wash (Delime). The machine will start the wash mode for 5 minutes and then do two rinse and drain cycles. Delime symbol will flash while this takes place. When finished, the power to the control will be turned off. Check the interior of the machine for lime deposits. If needed, repeat the delime cycle. If the delime program is interrupted before it is completed, then start the delime process from the beginning.

unplug it for 40 minutes to reset the CCU.

The answer to this question will be based on the incoming water temperature that is supplied to the booster heater. The standard sizing for a booster heater is based off of a 40 degree F rise (140 degree F incoming water temperature) or a 70 degree F rise (110 degree F incoming water temperature). For a 40 degree F rise, a Hatco model C-5, S-5, or PMG-60 will supply the needed amount of rinse water for the LX-18 Hobart dishwasher. A 70 degree F rise would require a Hatco model C-9, S-9, or PMG-60 to supply the same Hobart model number.

I hd the same problem. water was boiling during even when the machine was not washing. I replaced the temperature probe located inside the sump, and the problem was solved.

Did the clean light indicator blinking over n over? check the element wire harness connector. If disconnected fix it and run your dishwasher again.

Also you may check the continuity of your heating element.
