Hobart glasswasher: code E3, not working, not pulling rinse aid

When I turn my machine on, once it fills up, the screen says "E3" in the middle, and the words "add" on the left and "rinse aid" on the right, plus that cute little wrench looking thing. We have done the off/on/off/on as suggested on the trouble shooting guide on top of the door, but nothing changes. Lately (last couple of weeks or so) I've noticed that we haven't been going through the rinse aid anymore. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The error you see is that the dishwashers chemical board (located on the back of the machine) isnt sensing the chemical.First thing to check is remove the lower front panel,2 philip screws.On the left you will see 2 pumps one on top of the other.

They may be marked (det and r/a),turn the dishwasher on these 2 pumps should run.If they dont your pump may be bad or the control board.Run a full cycle to make sure.

If they do run i would make sure the standpipe in the r/a bottle isnt kinked or the tubing.Let me know,i'm a hobart tech.

    Hello the units need to use the chemical? What happen if not want to use it? Do I need to make any changes? Thanks.

Hobart LXeC under counter bar machine, it feeds detergent and Rinse Aid at the start up together.

This is a low temperature machine. So detegent and sanitizer go in together and the rinse aid goes in at the rinse cycle. At the lines in the right containers. It is pulling sanitizer at the rinse cycle?

Page 11 of the manual leads me to belive it may be priming. Do you have non return valves in the lines of all the product? Your lines should be full of chemical all the time with no air spaces.

Your detergent supplier, Hobart, Ecolab, Diversey will often help with issues like this for no charge. Don't let them play with metering though. That is an old trick to get the salemen more sales. ;>)

Ecomax 400 400-17 Glasswasher is not drying glasses completely. Streaks left on glasses

It sounds like the rinse aid has run out or is not dispensing. streaks on glassware is the usual symptom of this. Check and refil the dispenser. On the final rinse, open the door and you should see soap foam , which will let you know the rinse aid has ejected, or alternatively, if you havent had to fill the dispenser in a long time, I would say its not ejecting. these are not usually repairable and you will have to purchase a new rinse aid dispenser from the manufacturer. I always suggest usung " finish" rinse aid, its the best.

Hobart lx30 E3 error

Error Code E3 relates to a problem with the fill. Specifically that the water level has not been recognized at the middle water sensor. This can be caused by a problem with the drain system as you describe, or by low water pressure to the machine (should be 15-25psi flow), or bad wire connection to this middle sensor.
Check for proper water pressure first (should be a gauge on the machine) during the fill. Then check / repair drain as needed. These will probably eliminate the problem
