--- title: "Hobart 070: the wash did not reach its minimum temperature" description: "What 070 means on Hobart 070: the wash did not reach its minimum temperatures, what to check before booking, and when it is not a failure at all." url: "https://commercialappliancerepair.center/error-codes/hobart-070/" --- # Hobart 070: the wash did not reach its minimum temperature Hot-water sanitizing LXn models need at least 150°F in the wash, and chemical models 120°F. ## What 070 actually means. Hot-water sanitizing LXn models need at least 150°F in the wash, and chemical models 120°F. When the wash falls short, the screen shows Minimum wash temperature not reached with 070. It clears with ENTER, but repeated 070s mean the tank heater or its controls are not keeping up. Hobart commercial appliance display · also shown as Error 070 What to do when 070 shows on the commercial appliance ### Kind of code Temperature and alarms The controller has seen a temperature outside the band it was set for and is saying so: a box above its alarm point, a fryer vat or an oven cavity that tripped its high-limit, or a dish machine rinse that never came up to heat. Often the cause sits outside the unit, such as a door left open during a delivery, a coil packed with grease, a kitchen far hotter than the maker allows or a booster fed cold water. Checking the door, the coil and the air around the unit is fair; move the product if a cold box stays above 41°F, and book the visit. ### Usually leads to Reach-in and prep table repair Reach-ins, pass-throughs, prep tables and blast chillers: gaskets, hinges, fans, thermostats, condensers and compressors. ### 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.

Each step comes from Hobart's own guidance for 070 on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Press ENTER to clear the message. 02 Check the wash temperature on the display on the next few cycles. 03 Confirm the incoming water is as warm as your model requires. 04 Book a visit if 070 returns, and log the temperatures in the meantime. ### Still there? It usually turns into [reach-in and prep table repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/reach-in-and-prep-table-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do 070 is about the wash tank, not the final rinse; rinse shortfalls show as 071 or 083. It is also different from 090, where the wash misses its minimum within the time-out and the machine has to be drained and restarted. ## What you may notice with it.

Press ENTER to clear the message. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What wash temperature should a Hobart LXn reach? Hobart lists 150°F minimum for hot-water sanitizing models and 120°F for chemical models. ### Why does 070 show only during a rush on my Hobart? Back-to-back cycles with fresh water can outpace the tank heater. If it happens daily, the heater or its contactor should be tested. ### Can I keep running after 070 on a Hobart? Clear it and watch the next cycle. Soil removal suffers when the wash is cool, so rewash anything that comes out greasy. --- **[Read on the site: Hobart 070: the wash did not reach its minimum temperature](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/error-codes/hobart-070/)** **[Book a visit with CommercialApplianceRepair.center](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/schedule/)**
