TLDR
On your HOBART LXn/LXGn SERIES DISHWASHERS unit, error code 035 indicates the internal scrap basket is not properly inserted or locked into position. This prevents the wash cycle from starting. To resolve, ensure the scrap basket is fully seated and its arrow aligns with the arrow on the strainer pan, which should clear the error automatically.
Technical Details
Repair Steps:
- Perform a Safety Check: Before inspecting, ensure the dishwasher is paused and, if comfortable, briefly disconnect the power supply. While not strictly necessary for merely reinserting the basket, it’s a good practice when interacting with internal components.
- Locate the Scrap Basket: Open the dishwasher door and identify the internal scrap basket. It is typically found at the bottom of the wash tank.
- Inspect and Remove: Carefully lift and remove the scrap basket. Visually inspect it for any food debris, foreign objects, or physical damage that might prevent it from seating correctly. Clean any accumulated debris.
- Reinsert and Align Properly: Gently place the clean scrap basket back into its designated position within the strainer pan. Look for a small arrow on the scrap basket and a corresponding arrow or alignment mark on the strainer pan. Precisely align these two arrows. This action locks the basket securely in place.
- Confirm Error Clears: Close the dishwasher door firmly. The error code 035 should automatically clear once the basket is correctly seated and locked. If it does not clear immediately, try opening and re-closing the door.
- Test Operation: Attempt to start a wash cycle. If the machine begins its operation without displaying error 035, the issue is resolved. If the error persists despite correct basket alignment, there may be an underlying sensor or locking mechanism issue requiring professional service.
Common Questions:
Q: What does error code 035 indicate on a Hobart LXn/LXGn dishwasher?
A: Error code 035 on Hobart LXn/LXGn SERIES DISHWASHERS signifies that the internal scrap basket is not correctly inserted or securely locked into its position within the machine’s wash tank. The dishwasher will not operate until this issue is resolved.
Q: How do I correctly install the scrap basket to clear error 035?
A: To properly install the scrap basket, ensure it is fully seated in the strainer pan. Look for an arrow on the scrap basket and align it precisely with the corresponding arrow on the strainer pan. This action will lock the basket into place and should clear the error automatically.
Q: I’ve reinserted the scrap basket, but error 035 remains. What should I do?
A: If the error persists after verifying the scrap basket’s correct insertion and alignment, there might be an issue with the basket’s locking mechanism or the sensor that detects its presence. First, double-check for any debris preventing full seating. If the problem continues, it is recommended to contact a qualified service technician to diagnose and repair the underlying cause.
