Who’s worked on a Hobart D/W

[kuango]

Having never worked on a Hobart, I need any info regarding service info or repair tips on a FX20 D/W.
Who are the service agents and should I buy my spares via Partscentre or another suppliers.
Help and suggestions all greatfully received.

What do you need to know? You can get the spares direct from Hobart, they may even be cheaper than Caterparts, in my experiance they are. Don’t even need an account to get the spares. Don’t bother asking for a discount for trade, it just doesn’t happen, not even for local Health Authorities. What’s wrong with the machine?

Just searched my phone for Hobart’s spares number, 07002 303303. Technical with them is hopeless though. I’m guessing this is in a hospital or government building as these machines are so expensive it’s normally bought off the Segg list.

Thanks for the input guys.
The machine is in a Hotel. I’m off there this am (Sat) to give it a quick coat of looking at.
Customer says he smelt burning and just switched it off.
That should narrow it down a bit or not !

So how did it go? Get to the bottom of it?

Electro/Mechanical Timer was faulty. Guess the contacts had stuck, hence the burning. Called Hobart spares with an off the shelf price of 175.00 plus vat and delivery.
Customer says its a goer.
Hobart say the Timer is a replacement and not the original fitted. I was told if there were any problems fitting it, to call them and they would talk me through it.
We’ll wait and see.

You’ll probably get a PCB to replace the mechanical timer, just a case of matching numbers, the one thing that catches some people out is you need to add a wire to the selector switch which goes to one of the terminals on the PCB, it’s all in the instructions that are supplied, but some people rush at it. Basically, as long as you take your time it’ll be easy.
