The LXn stops its pumps when the door opens mid-cycle and shows Program interrupted. Close door with 029. Once the door is fully closed and seated, the interrupted step resumes. A related message, 039, covers a door opened during the fill. Hobart commercial appliance display · also shown as Error 029 What to do when 029 shows on the commercial appliance ### Kind of code Mode, 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. ### Usually leads to No repair Close the door fully and check that it is seated all the way. ### 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 Hobart A Hobart dish machine that stops holding its rinse heat is usually seen right after the lunch racks clear, so the tank can drain and cool. ### Source Hobart LXn / LXGn series instructions manual F41243 (10-23), error code chart Hobart LXn and LXGn undercounter machines (LXnC, LXnH, LXnR, LXGnPR, LXGnR) with the touchscreen control, per instructions manual F41243. AM16, CL and FT2000 machines use their own displays and are not covered by this chart. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Hobart's own guidance for 029 on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Close the door fully and check that it is seated all the way. 02 Wait for the cycle to resume on its own. 03 If a dish must be added mid-cycle, open the door slowly and wait about 10 seconds for the wash arms to stop. 04 Book a visit if 029 shows with the door closed, because the door switch may need attention. ### 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 029 is not a door that will not seal or a leak at the door. A 029 that appears with nobody touching the door is the only version that needs a technician. ## What you may notice with it. The commercial appliance problems 029 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the commercial appliance before anyone is booked.

Close the door fully and check that it is seated all the way. ### Is it safe to open a Hobart undercounter mid-cycle? Hobart says to open it slowly until the pump stops and wait about 10 seconds before opening fully. Opening quickly lets hot water splash out. ### Why does my Hobart show 029 with the door shut? The door switch is not reading the door as closed. A door out of line with its latch or a failed switch are the usual causes. ### Do I have to restart the cycle after 029? No. Once the door is closed and seated, the operation that was interrupted continues. --- **[Read on the site: Hobart 029: the door was opened during a cycle](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/error-codes/hobart-029/)** **[Book a visit with CommercialApplianceRepair.center](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/schedule/)**
