What Delime Error
actually means.
The MenuSelect control shows two versions: Delime Error with Water Level Switch, when the level switches do not change within 15 minutes while draining or filling, and Delime Error with Boiler Temp, when the boiler probe does not reach 185°F within 15 minutes. Both stop the descaling cycle partway.

What to do when Delime Error shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeWater, fill and drain
Water is not arriving, not reaching its level, not heating or not leaving on time. A dish machine may be short of fill because a supply valve is half closed or its line strainer is clogged, it may drain slowly through a scrap basket full of debris, or its booster may be too scaled to heat the rinse; a combi's steam generator may be scaled or its water treatment exhausted; a washer-extractor may time out on a slow drain. Opening the supply valve, cleaning strainers with the unit off and checking the drain line are fair; a pump, a fill valve, a heater or a leak near wiring is a visit.

Each step comes from Blodgett's own guidance for Delime Error on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the water supply and the drain before retrying the cycle.
Make sure the delime solution used is on Blodgett's approved chemical list.
Retry once; if the same Delime Error returns, arrange service for the level switches or boiler heating.
What not to do
Delime Error is not a sign the oven is dangerous to cook in, but it means scale removal did not finish. It differs from Flush Error, which covers the flushing cycle.
