How to fix Hobart FX when dishes are not clean?
- J
  Jerry StevensJul 31, 2025
  To resolve the issue of dishes not being properly cleaned in your Hobart Dishwasher, start by checking the wash arms to ensure they can turn easily by hand. If they are stiff, remove and thoroughly clean them, also check that the water outlet from the machine to the wash arms is clear. Inspect the wash arm nozzles for clogs; if clogged, remove the wash arm, take off the cleaning cap, and rinse thoroughly. Also, verify that the coarse strainer is not soiled by removing, emptying, and cleaning it. Similarly, check the fine strainer for soiling or lime buildup; if heavily soiled, soak it in a vinegar solution before cleaning. Finally, ensure that the correct program is selected for the load and that the detergent concentration is correct.

Why are glasses cloudy after washing in my Hobart FX?
- D
  Donna SanchezAug 5, 2025
  Cloudy glasses from your Hobart Dishwasher are often due to glass corrosion, where the surface of the glasses becomes rough and porous. This issue is not caused by a malfunction of the machine, so you will need to replace the glasses.

Why does my Hobart FX Dishwasher leave stripes and stains on dishes?

  To address stripes and stains on dishes or glasses from your Hobart Dishwasher, first, check the rinse aid concentration; if it's too high, reduce the quantity. Also, check your water quality with your local water authority to ensure you don't have hard water or high mineral content. Ideal degree of hardness is 4° Clark. Ideal conductivity value for glasses is max. 150 µS/cm and for dishes max. 400 µS/cm. If you are using a machine with a softener, make sure you are using only granular regeneration salt. Finally, ensure the rack is suitable for the dishes, allowing water to drain properly.

What to do if Hobart FX doesn't dry dishes properly?
- A
  Andrew DuranAug 15, 2025
  If your Hobart Dishwasher isn't drying dishes or glasses properly, you may need to increase the rinse aid concentration. If dishes are still greasy, increase the detergent concentration and ensure you're using an appropriate detergent. You might also need to drain the soiled water and refill the machine, and check your pre-scrapping procedure. Also, make sure you are using appropriate racks to create a sloping position which allows water to drain away from cavities. Finally, remove the dishes as soon as the cycle is completed.

Why does my Hobart FX Dishwasher suddenly stop during the wash program?
- Z
  Zachary WeberAug 20, 2025
  If your Hobart Dishwasher stops suddenly during a wash program, it could be due to the machine being connected to a maximum power supply unit that is cutting out, or the machine is interlocked with another energy consumer unit; in this case, connect the machine separately. Also, check the site fuses to see if one has blown.
