Hobart LXiC drains more water after the wash cycle ... and water level goes to low level after that .. ?

1. Clogged drain line: The drain line may be clogged with food debris or other debris, causing the water to back up in the machine.
2. Blocked sump: The sump, which is where the water drains into, may be blocked with food debris or other debris, causing the water to back up in the machine.
3. Faulty fill valve: The fill valve may be faulty, causing the water to fill beyond the normal level.
4. Leaking pump or hoses: The pump or hoses may be leaking, causing water to collect under the machine.
5. Broken float switch: The float switch, which is responsible for controlling the water level, may be broken, causing the water level to rise uncontrollably.

It is recommended to have a certified Hobart technician or a professional commercial dishwasher repair service diagnose and repair the issue

Hi,

you would need to get a special code/programming manual from the manufacturer or a company that services a dishwasher of your brand. Because they usually ch arge for their services, they might not be willing to email you this manual, but I would still try.

Thank you.

That is normal, this machine will only wash when wash button is pressed

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.

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.

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.

it supposed to work throgh the washing cycle,therefore you better trace,and inspect the line of the detergent,maybe it'stuck somewhere,and if it's ok check the panel board.does the pump receive voltage through the washing cycle.

Whats the model?lxih,lx30h,lx18,lx40?What temps are low,wash or rinse?Im a hobart tech and service these units.Let me know.

I'm a hobart tech---Tell me exactly your problem.

I need to check my codes to be positive. And I'll check them this weekend. But, I believe E5 is from excess water in the unit, and so it won't go into rinse and add more water.

First and most common -- the drain hose, at the back of the unit is kinked. The unit gets pushed back against the wall and kinks the line.

Second, your probes are dirty. The ones in the back right corner detect water level. Clean them with a green scrungee even if they look clean.

Good luck - Mike
