We have a Hobart dishwasher in our K of C hall that leaks every time fill water is going into the unit or as it rinses. I have some pictures of the control box, the unit itself, and the pipes and valves at the rear of the unit that are leaking that I will try to add using a comment later. I assume this is a simple fix of a gasket or even the valve itself but since I have never tore into one of these and our hall has no $$ I want to be sure before I go breaking anything causing the need for additional repairs...Thanks for any guidance.

- That is where...and it does look like it could be a vacuum breaker. It is a 90 degree piece that has a screw on cap and a rubber boot under the cap.
Do you know where the water is leaking from? Sounds like it might be coming from the vac. breaker at the top RH side of the machine. Please clarify so we can be of further assistance
If the brand is Watts, a rebuild kit is available from Hobart. Their part # 118270. It should contain the float with a red rubber gasket and a bonnet o-ring. Unscrew the cap, clean off the sealing surface and drop in the new float OR you might find a local Watts distributor and see if they carry the kit. That should solve the leaking issue. Let me know.

CON 3 keeps banging away(on off on off)..no heat on rinse cycle sometimes, but when we do it drops off after first load...I am thinking element in the booster tank and or thermostat in booster tank. My inlet water at regulator is 120F..pressure on fill and rinse is at about 19. Changed board in control panel and float/thermometer in machine already as well. As per 2 Hobart service guys, but now thinking its booster tank problems. Unit seems to heat after long time between loads which makes me wonder how many elements in booster, maybe one not good and causing the contactor to open close repeatedly. Or bad thermostat that causes unit to not heat because it thinks its bad. Any help would be appreciated.

both doors are attached to one bar that goes around the back of machine and ther is a spring attached in back corner. the problem is that the doors do not close the same, there is about an inch difference in the doors when they close and sometimes do not hit the switch to start machine

I need to know how much water the rinse cycle uses at a given pressure--for example, 20 psig, or whatever . Does anyone have any data they've measured (or calculated)? I don't have the service manual in front of me as I type this, but I believe the rinse cycle is relatively short, like 10 seconds. THANKS!! Lee
