Greetings,
I was away for the hloidays so did not get to you message till now... To this point I ran about 1 gallon of delimer through this machine within past month. I see no lime buildup anywhere. Nor do I have any apparent lime build up on my ice machine that was not delimed in 4 years. So really do not think it is lime.
Again. INSTANTLY when I push the "power" on button . "delime" light comes on . it does not even have a chance to fill machine. I put delimer in the machine it will run for 5 -10 min it will stop with E4 or E5 wrench message... I unplug it then back in again and it works fine. Ohter times I go through the plug and unplug cycle 4-5 times before it resets itself and works for rest of the day. next day delime light is on again.
I changed sensor in bottom water trough to the left of the boost water heater element. I was tols this was the delime sensor true???
I did buy this machine USED about 1 year ago so if there are screens and filters that need to be cleaned please let me know where they are. or any other ideas. This maching was built 2004. I already replaced the pump and backflow preventer when I bought this machine the cemical sensor board that I disconnected when I bought it because it constantly was ringing and chemicals tested properly in the machine.. Many people told me to stay away from hobarts I should have listend. but I have to much invested now to get rid of it..
Also I encountered a problem that with my booster element burns through the electrical wire that is connected to the ellement IS element bad? drawing to much voltage? yes there is water in the trough when it is burnig through the wire.
