# Hobart LXeH: Used-Buy Risk, Repairs & What to Check | KitchenRisk

> Used Hobart LXeH buying guide, thermistor / temperature probe risk, repair costs and what to inspect.

**Verdict:** inspect

Widely used undercounter high-temp dishwasher with cheap, active OEM parts support (high-limit protector ~$9, thermistor probe ~$50); Hobart's own troubleshooting guide (which explicitly covers the LXe series) flags low wash/rinse temperature as a common complaint, so run a full cycle and verify wash temperature holds above spec before buying used.

**Documented failure risks:**
- Thermistor / temperature probe: OEM Thermistor Probe, LXe Series (Hobart #00-941747) lists at $49.85 on Parts Town. Hobart's own dishwasher troubleshooting guide, which "applies to ... LX/LXe/KXi undercounter dishwashers," states: "Low water temperature – When 'WASH' displays, your machine should have a temperature above 120°F on chemical sanitizing models and 150°F on other models."
- High-limit protector (disc style): OEM High Limit, Protector, Disc Style, LXE (Hobart #00-942185) lists at only $9.16 on Parts Town, a cheap and commonly stocked safety-cutoff part; its low price/high stock indicates it is a routine wear item on this dishwasher line.
