If your commercial dishwasher is acting up, not cleaning properly, or making unusual noises, we can help. Our expert technicians can handle any issue with your dishwasher. Some of the most common problems we encounter include:
| Brand | Error Code | Meaning | Typical Fix / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobart | E001 | Fill time exceeded / no water signal in break tank. | Check water supply, inlet valve, float switch. |
| Hobart | E002 | Fill time exceeded (tank already started filling) | Water pressure too low, clogged filter, solenoid valve issue. |
| Hobart | E003 | Fill start temperature (hot water tank) not reached. | Heater element/trouble, sensor fault. |
| Hobart | E004 | Temperature shortfall (hot water tank) | Heating element or sensor failing. |
| Hobart | E005 | Fill time exceedance – tanks | Often due to supply issue or filter/valve obstruction. |
| Hobart | E006 | Temperature shortfall – “AR segment” | Might require detailed service. |
| Hobart | E3 | Drain timeout error (machine unable to drain in allotted time) | Clear drain line, clean filter, check pump/valve. |
| Hobart | P3 | Drain pump issue | Replace or repair pump, check electrical. |
| Meiko | 210 | Temperature sensor interruption | Sensor or wiring fault. |
| Meiko | 301 | Actual tank temperature too high (>85 °C) | Probably thermostat or control board issue. |
Look for: error codes, failing to start, water not filling/draining, dishes coming out dirty, unusual noises, or visible leaks. If cleaning time has jumped or cycles keep failing, it’s time to call.
Most fixes (pump, pump motor, door latch, spray arms) are 1–3 hours if parts are on the truck. Control boards or obscure parts may take longer - we’ll provide an ETA and options (temporary fixes vs waiting for OEM parts).
