Blodgett commercial appliance display · also shown as Flush Error What to do when Flush Error shows on the commercial appliance ### Kind of code Water, 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. ### Usually leads to Dish machine repair Undercounter, door-type and conveyor dish machines: tank heaters, boosters, wash pumps, fill and drain valves. ### Shows up as Commercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone. ### Make Blodgett A Blodgett visit tends to land early in the morning, before the first sheet pans go in and while the cavity is still cold. ### Source Blodgett MenuSelect BC20 control service guide Blodgett BC-20 combi ovens with the MenuSelect control (MenuSelect BC20 service guide). ## Before you book, in this order.

Confirm water is turned on to the oven and nothing blocks the drain line. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How often does a Blodgett BC-20 flush its boiler? On the interval set in the maintenance menu. The service guide shows Flush Interval and Next Flush settings. ### Can a blocked drain cause Flush Error on a Blodgett? Yes. If the boiler cannot drain, the level switches will not change. ### Can I keep cooking on a Blodgett with Flush Error? Often yes, but schedule the repair so mineral buildup does not lead to boiler errors. --- **[Read on the site: Blodgett Flush Error: the boiler flush could not drain or refill](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/error-codes/blodgett-flush-error/)** **[Book a visit with CommercialApplianceRepair.center](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/schedule/)**
