ABOUT OUR COMPANY
Premium Hobart Repair
by Big Sam Service
Owning an Hobart appliance means enjoying engineering, sustainability, and durability. However, Florida’s unique climate — high humidity, salt air, and extreme heat — puts even the most robust systems to the test. Without specialized care, components like sealed gaskets and electronic control boards can degrade faster, leading to premature failure.
At Big Sam Service, we don’t just fix Hobart appliances; we protect your investment. Our certified technicians use factory-grade scanners to decode complex error logs, safely handle integrated units, and apply climate-specific sealing techniques to prevent corrosion and mold. Whether it’s a dishwasher with a hidden leak, a washer with a drum bearing issue, or an oven with a faulty thermistor, we provide fast, lasting repairs tailored to Florida’s demands.
Don’t wait for a small issue to become a costly breakdown. Schedule your Hobart repair online booking form or call (727) 625-7797 for same-day, transparent service backed by a full warranty on parts and labor.

TESTIMONIALS
Our Hobart A200 planetary mixer started making a horrible grinding noise—we were terrified the transmission was shot. Another company quoted us an outrageous amount for a full rebuild. Big Sam sent a technician who actually specialized in Hobart mixers. He diagnosed a loose planetary center bolt and a dried-out planetary seal, not a failed transmission. He tightened the bolt, lubricated the seal with mineral oil, and had our mixer running quietly within an hour. The cost was a fraction of what we were quoted elsewhere. If you own a Hobart mixer, don't trust anyone else—call Big Sam.

Our Hobart LXe dishwasher was flashing "WASH ARM ALERT" and "LOW RINSE TEMP" —dishes weren't getting clean, and we were on the verge of failing a health inspection. I called Big Sam, and they had a technician at our kitchen within a few hours. He immediately identified a clogged wash arm and a faulty booster temperature sensor. He cleared the blockage, replaced the sensor, and tested the machine through three complete cycles. The dishes are now spotless and properly sanitized. The tech also showed us how to clean the spray arms daily to prevent the alert from coming back. Fast, professional, and they know Hobart inside and out. Big Sam saved our service that day.
- Chef Michelle R., Gastropub Owner
Our Hobart combi steamer stopped producing steam entirely—right before a 200-person event. We were in full panic mode. Big Sam came out the same morning and found two issues: a failed steam solenoid valve and a heating element that was completely burned out. The technician had both parts in his van, replaced them on the spot, and ran a full diagnostic to ensure everything was working. The steamer is now heating faster than it has in years. The tech also descaling the unit and showed us the maintenance schedule to prevent future breakdowns. Highly recommend Big Sam for any Hobart combi service.
- Maria S., Catering Business Owner
Our Hobart HS Series slicer was tearing up roast beef instead of slicing it cleanly. The slices were ragged, and it took three times as long to prep for sandwiches. Big Sam sent a technician who explained that the blade was completely dull and the sharpening stones were worn out. He replaced the stones, professionally sharpened the blade using the proper 15-second method with the "KNIFE ON" button, and showed us how to maintain the edge between services. The slicer now glides through meat like butter. Big Sam is now our go-to for all our Hobart food prep equipment.
- Mark D., Deli Manager
Our Hobart AM16 dishwasher died on a Saturday afternoon during a wedding reception, displaying an E3 drain error. Water was standing in the tank, and we had hundreds of plates piling up. I called Big Sam expecting to leave a voicemail, but a real person answered and had a technician at our club within a few hours. He found a piece of broken glass lodged in the drain pump and a kinked drain hose. He cleared the obstruction, replaced the damaged drain hose, and tested the machine through multiple cycles. The dishwasher was back in full operation before the main course was served. Big Sam goes above and beyond. Forever grateful.
- Joyce M., Country Club Executive Chef
We have a full kitchen of Hobart equipment—dishwashers, mixers, combi ovens, and slicers. Big Sam worked with us to set up a quarterly preventative maintenance schedule. Their technician comes in, cleans condenser coils, inspects door gaskets, lubricates planetary seals, tests temperature sensors, and checks for any developing issues. Since we started with Big Sam, our equipment downtime has dropped dramatically. The tech is always punctual, respectful of our kitchen staff, and thoroughly documents every service. Big Sam is now our exclusive service partner. Worth every penny.
- Chris W., Hotel Executive Chef
Our Hobart AM Select dishwasher kept showing an E5 code and wouldn't drain, then would intermittently shut off with a door open error even though the door was fully closed. We had no idea what was happening. Big Sam sent a technician who diagnosed a faulty door switch and a failing drain pump within minutes. He replaced both components, tested the machine through a full cycle, and had our dishwasher back online before our dinner rush. The price was very fair, and he explained every step of the repair. If you have a Hobart dishwasher with error codes, call Big Sam—they know these machines.
- Nicole S., Restaurant Owner
Our Hobart mixer started leaking oil from the planetary area and the bowl lift mechanism was getting stuck. I was worried the entire transmission needed replacement. Big Sam came out the same day I called. The technician diagnosed a worn planetary seal and a dried-out bowl lift mechanism. He replaced the seal, repacked the transmission with fresh grease, and lubricated the bowl lift assembly. The mixer is now running smoothly and quietly. Great service, fair pricing, and real peace of mind. Big Sam is now my go-to for all our Hobart equipment repairs.

— FAQ
FAQ about Hobart Appliance Repair
Do you have any questions about Hobart the repair of your household appliances? You’re not alone. Our experts have compiled answers to the most common concerns we hear from homeowners. This FAQ is designed to provide clear, professional guidance and help you understand the repair process before you even call us.
My Hobart dishwasher won't start and is showing an E0, E2, E3, or E4 error. What does this mean?
These error codes on the LXi and AM Select series point to a water filling issue. The unit has detected that it’s either not getting water at all or not reaching the proper fill level in time.
First, make sure the main water supply valve is fully open and that the water pressure is adequate. Check the water inlet valve’s strainer for debris and ensure the fill float switch moves freely. A thorough cleaning is often the solution.
If the problem persists, the fill valve could be faulty, or there may be an issue with the control board. Our technicians at Big Sam Appliance Repair can quickly diagnose the root cause and get your dishwasher back to operational status.
Why is my Hobart dishwasher not draining, and how can I fix it?
A Hobart dishwasher that won’t drain is a common problem that can shut down your kitchen. On many models, this is signaled by an E5 or E3 error code.
The most frequent culprit is a simple blockage. Food debris, grease, and foreign objects can clog the drain pump or the drain hose. We recommend performing a few quick checks:
Inspect the Filter: Remove and thoroughly clean all filters.
Check the Drain Hose: Make sure it isn’t kinked, crushed, or obstructed.
Listen to the Pump: During the drain cycle, you should hear the pump running. Unusual sounds can indicate a problem.
If the issue isn’t a simple clog, the drain pump or the control board might be failing. Big Sam Appliance Repair has the expertise to properly diagnose and repair any drainage issue, from clearing a stubborn blockage to replacing a faulty pump.
My Hobart dishwasher is showing a "LOW RINSE TEMP" or "WASH ARM ALERT." What should I do?
These error messages on newer LXe models are designed to help you maintain performance and sanitation.
A “LOW RINSE TEMP” warning means the water isn’t hot enough to properly sanitize your dishes. This is often due to a problem with the unit’s booster heater or a faulty temperature sensor. While the machine may continue to run, it’s crucial to have it serviced promptly to ensure compliance with health codes.
A “WASH ARM ALERT” indicates that a wash arm is obstructed or clogged. Mineral buildup, food debris, or broken glass can block the spray jets, drastically reducing cleaning power. The fix is to remove the wash arm, clear all of its spray holes, and make sure it spins freely.
If the alert persists after cleaning, or for any temperature-related warnings, it’s time to call a professional. The experts at Big Sam Appliance Repair can diagnose and resolve these issues to keep your dishwasher performing at its best.
My Hobart combi steamer isn't heating or producing steam. What could be wrong?
When a combi steamer fails to heat or steam, it’s often related to the water supply or heating system.
Start by checking the basics: ensure the unit is receiving power, the main power switch is on, and the door handle is fully closed. A common problem is a lack of water. Make sure the water supply valve is open and that the water pressure is sufficient. Hard water can lead to excessive lime scale buildup inside the boiler or on sensors, which prevents proper heating and steam generation. If the steamer is not descaled regularly, this is a likely cause.
If the water supply is fine, the problem could be a faulty heating element, a defective temperature sensor, or a failed steam generator component.
Big Sam Appliance Repair technicians are trained to service the advanced systems in Hobart combi steamers, from descaling to replacing critical components like heating elements and control boards.
Why is my Hobart planetary mixer making a loud squeaking or grinding noise?
Unusual noises from your Hobart mixer are a clear sign that it needs attention. The source of the noise is often in the planetary head.
A squeaking noise is most frequently caused by a dry planetary seal. This seal can dry out over time, especially with heavy use. Sometimes, working a little mineral oil under the lip of the seal can stop the squeak. A grinding noise can be more serious, potentially indicating a loose center bolt that allows the planetary assembly to drop down. This bolt can sometimes be tightened with a wrench.
More complex grinding sounds could be due to worn gears or bearings within the transmission. Hobart mixers after September 2002 are grease-filled and don’t require routine lubrication, but seals can still fail. If the noise persists after basic checks, it’s best to stop using the mixer to avoid further damage.
The experienced technicians at Big Sam Appliance Repair can accurately diagnose the source of the noise and perform the necessary repair, whether it’s lubricating a seal or rebuilding a transmission.
My Hobart HS Series slicer won't start. What's the most common cause?
Hobart slicers have multiple safety interlocks that prevent them from starting unless everything is correctly positioned.
Before assuming a major electrical failure, check these two most common issues:
Carriage Not in “Home” Position: For safety, many Hobart slicers will only start when the carriage tray is pulled all the way back to the operator end, known as the “home” position.
Overload Reset: If the slicer was overworked, an internal overload protector may have tripped. Look for a small reset button, usually located on the bottom of the unit, and press it to reset the machine.
If these steps don’t work, the problem could be a faulty home switch, a defective start switch, or a deeper electrical issue. Big Sam Appliance Repair can safely diagnose and repair any electrical or mechanical issue that’s preventing your HS Series slicer from starting.
The slices from my Hobart HS slicer are uneven or it's hard to push the meat through. Why?
Poor slicing performance is almost always a sign that the blade is dull. A sharp blade is essential for clean, even slices and for operator safety, as it requires less force to use.
The HS Series is equipped with a top-mounted Borazon sharpening system that can sharpen and hone the blade in about 15 seconds. To use it, hold down the “KNIFE ON” button while pulling the sharpener lever forward. Use the sharpener sparingly and with a light touch.
If the blade is chipped, badly worn, or the sharpening stones themselves are worn out, the sharpener won’t be effective. Also, check that the gauge plate (which controls slice thickness) is adjusted correctly and that the knife and carriage are clean and lubricated. If sharpening doesn’t resolve the issue, our team at Big Sam Appliance Repair can inspect the blade, sharpener, and carriage components to restore precise slicing performance.
What regular maintenance does my Hobart equipment need to prevent breakdowns?
Regular preventative maintenance is the most effective way to avoid costly downtime and extend the life of your Hobart equipment. A tailored maintenance plan is key.
For Dishwashers: Clean spray arms daily, check and clean drain strainers, and remove mineral buildup regularly. Professional inspection of wash and rinse temperatures is crucial for sanitation.
For Combi Steamers: Descale the boiler and steam generator regularly (how often depends on your water hardness) and replace door gaskets when cracked or greasy. Annual professional service is also recommended.
For Planetary Mixers: Lubricate the bowl lift mechanism and the planetary seal as needed. Have the planetary gear oil checked periodically and change it if it looks contaminated.
For HS Slicers: Sharpen the blade as needed and keep the unit clean and lubricated. Lubrication between sharpenings is recommended to ensure smooth operation.
Big Sam Appliance Repair can create a customized preventative maintenance schedule for your specific Hobart equipment. Our thorough inspections can catch small issues before they turn into major, costly failures, keeping your kitchen running at its best.
