Moyer Diebel Dishwasher Preventative Maintenance
Dishwashers keep dishware clean and sanitized, but don’t forget to keep your equipment maintained. Performing routine maintenance is the key to keeping equipment working for longer. Below we’ll help you with some Moyer Diebel dishwasher preventative maintenance from cleaning to deliming.
This cleaning guide is made for the Moyer Diebel undercounter dishwasher models 501-HT, 501-HTN and more.
Moyer Diebel Dishwasher Cleaning
Dishwashers should be cleaned daily or every 8 hours for a well maintained unit.
- Step 1 - Turn the OFF/DRAIN switch to OFF, then close and latch the door to drain the tank.
- Step 2 - After draining, open the door and unscrew the knurled fastener holding each spray arm. Remove the upper and lower spray arm.
- Step 3 - Carefully remove the scrap screen and make sure soil or waste particles don’t fall into the sump.
- Step 4 - Using clean water, clean the inside of the tank. Back flush the scrap screen until it’s clean. Don’t strike the screen against solid objects.
- Step 5 - Clean and rinse the spray arms to remove any debris from the spray openings. Don’t strike the spray arms against solid objects.
- Step 6 - Reinstall the scrap screen and the spray arms into the dishwasher.
- Step 7 - Leave the dishwasher door open overnight to allow it to dry.
Chemical Sanitizing Models
Some dishwasher models (501LT or 501UTL) need to be sanitized before deliming.
- Step 1 - Remove the sanitizer tube from the container and place the tube into a container of hot water.
- Step 2 - Press and hold the SANITIZER prime switch on the front panel until clear
water enters the tank through the fill-air gap.
- Step 3 - Close the door and press the door latch. Allow 2 complete operating cycles to purge the unit of all sanitizer.
Dishwasher Deliming
- Step 1 - Add the delime chemical to wash the tank, making sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Step 2 - Close and latch the door.
