About the Hobart AM16
Hobart AM16 High-Temperature Door-Type Dishwasher
The Hobart AM16-BAS is a hot-water sanitizing door-style dishwasher built for commercial kitchens producing steady rack volumes throughout service. With a maximum throughput of 60 racks per hour, roughly 1,500 dishes or 2,700 glasses hourly, it fits the workload of full-service restaurants, hotel banquet kitchens, healthcare facilities, correctional institutions, and school cafeterias. The machine accepts standard 19-3/4" x 19-3/4" racks and offers a 17-inch door opening that clears plates, glass racks, and standard flatware trays without repositioning.
Key Features
- Sense-A-Temp booster heater — 7.1 kW electric booster delivers a 70°F rise for consistent 180°F final rinse temperatures required by NSF sanitization standards.
- Smart touchscreen controls — user-friendly interface with timed cycles at 1, 2, 4, or 6 minutes; NSF pot and pan rated on the 2-, 4-, and 6-minute settings.
- Wi-Fi and SmartConnect app — remote machine status, temperature logs, error code reporting, and water/chemical consumption analytics.
- X-shaped anti-clogging wash arms — revolving, interchangeable upper and lower stainless steel arms with matching rinse arms for uniform coverage.
- 5-sided insulated hood — reduces radiant heat and noise; pillarless opening simplifies rack loading.
- Pumped drain and pumped final rinse — 0.67 gallons per rack, 40.2 GPH maximum consumption; peak drain flow of 18.5 GPM.
- Two-stage filtration with slanted, self-locating scrap screen and basket.
- AutoClean, auto-fill, and door-actuated start for hands-free operation between racks.
- Complete Delime cycle with notification protects the booster and tank from scale buildup.
- Stainless steel construction — drawn tank, chamber, trim panels, frame, and feet.

Configuration Options
The AM16 is offered in Base (BAS) and Advansys configurations. Advansys adds drain water energy recovery, automatic soil removal, and a ventless option with door lock. A tall variant (AM16T) provides a 27-inch door opening and 3-sided hood for washing 18" x 26" sheet pans and mixing bowls up to 60 quarts, useful in bakeries and prep-heavy kitchens.
Applications
The AM16 suits mid-volume operations where consistent sanitization and low utility draw matter. Straight-through or corner installation gives flexibility around existing dish tables, and factory sink integration kits (sink saddle, rail kit, fold-down table) simplify retrofits. Optional accessories include chemical pumps with empty-chemical lockouts, drain water tempering kit, door lock kit, flanged and seismic feet, water hammer arrestor kit, rapid fill kit, and peg or combination racks for glassware and utensils.
Warranty
Hobart backs the AM16 with a 1-year parts and labor warranty. Residential installation voids the warranty — this unit is intended solely for commercial use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Hobart dishwashers good?+
Hobart has manufactured commercial warewashing equipment for over a century and is widely regarded as a benchmark brand in the industry. The AM16 is NSF-certified, Energy Star qualified, and built with stainless steel construction, a 2 HP wash pump with stainless impeller, and Sense-A-Temp booster technology that maintains sanitization compliance on every cycle.
What is the average lifespan of a Hobart commercial dishwasher?+
With routine maintenance — including daily cleaning of scrap screens, periodic use of the built-in Delime cycle, and annual professional service — a Hobart AM16 typically operates reliably for 10 to 15 years. Water hardness above 3 grains and infrequent deliming are the most common factors that shorten service life.
What are common Hobart dishwasher issues?+
The most frequent service calls involve scale buildup on the booster and wash arms in hard-water regions, clogged rinse arm nozzles, worn door gaskets, and chemical feed problems when detergent lines run dry. The AM16 addresses several of these with empty-chemical lockouts, notification-based Delime cycles, and onboard diagnostics accessible through the touchscreen and SmartConnect app.
How do I reset my Hobart AM16 dishwasher?+
For most fault codes, turn the machine off at the power switch, wait 30 seconds, and power it back on to clear the alert. Persistent error codes displayed on the touchscreen should be referenced against the service diagnostics menu, and the SmartConnect app logs the fault history. Hard resets involving the disconnect switch should only be performed by a qualified Hobart service technician.
What are the water and electrical requirements for the AM16?+
The AM16 requires a 3/4" water supply at 110°F minimum, 15-65 PSI, with recommended water hardness of 3 grains or less. Standard electrical is 208-240V/60Hz/3-phase at 52.5 amps on a single-point connection (60 A protective device). The unit is field convertible to single-phase and to dual-point electrical connections. A 450 CFM vent hood is recommended unless the Advansys ventless configuration is specified.
