What PUSH
actually means.
When power returns after an outage mid-cycle, Dexter T-Series machines show P U S H. The customer must press a temperature selection button to carry on.

What to do when PUSH shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeMode, not a failure
Nothing on the unit has broken; the controller is reporting a state it chose or one somebody set. A defrost pauses cooling for a scheduled melt and shows a warmer air reading for a while, a combi asks for a delime or runs its clean cycle and locks the door until it ends, a dish machine or a laundry machine sits in energy save between busy periods, and a door-open reminder beeps after a long delivery. No part is needed: letting the cycle finish, or the key sequence in the manual, brings the unit back.

Press any temperature selection button to resume the cycle.

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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Dexter's own guidance for PUSH on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press any temperature selection button to resume the cycle.
If several machines show PUSH, check whether a breaker tripped.
Book a visit if PUSH appears without any outage, since the power supply to the machine may be loose.
Cleared?
The code is gone from the controller, the box pulls down to its set point and holds it, the vat or the cavity reaches temperature and recovers on schedule, the rinse hits its heat and the drum finishes its spin, all without a new part. If the same code comes back within a week, or during the next busy shift, mention it when you book.
What not to do
PUSH is not an error code; it is a resume prompt. It does not mean the load was lost or the money taken.

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code as shown, the model and serial from the data plate, and a word on whether the unit still holds temperature, heats, rinses or spins. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your unit the same day.
