What 035
actually means.
The scrap basket sits in the strainer pan and must be locked with its arrow lined up with the arrow on the pan. When it is missing or loose, the LXn shows Ensure tank strainer is locked in place with 035. The message clears by itself once the basket is seated correctly.

What to do when 035 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.

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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Hobart's own guidance for 035 on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch off and let the water cool if you need to reach into the tank.
Seat the scrap basket in the strainer pan and turn it until the two arrows line up.
Watch the message clear on its own once the basket locks.
Book a visit if 035 stays with the basket locked, since the basket sensor may need checking.
What not to do
035 is not a clogged strainer; that is 019. It clears without ENTER, so a 035 that stays is a sensing problem rather than a staff one.

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.
