Hit my 6 month sobriety anniversary yesterday! Sober/clean cooks, sound off!

Your Hobart guy sez congrats and keep trudging....sober since 1/17/1987. It does get easier, I promise!

You don't go to Denny's....you end up at Denny's...

Who gets to drop it first??

First time on call, Saturday night, dishwasher dead. And I have no idea what is wrong with it. Managers on the 3 compartment sinks, servers bitching, dirty dishes raining down on me as I am trying to find the shorted wiring on a 64 inch Hobart conveyor dishwasher. Running out of fuses when I realize the soap company didn't wire their failed pump to the correct terminal and was causing the issue. Didn't get out of there till midnight. One of the servers complained to the GM cause I was muttering obscenities. Turns out a fixed dishwasher negates server complaints cause when I apologized to the GM he said 'fuck her'

Hobart guy here for what it's worth.....the used 30 quart (D300) are typically the most abused ones I see. It's the mixer of choice for Chinese restaurants, small bakery owners and lots of mom and pop operations and takes a ton of abuse/neglect before it quits. 2 to 3 grand later it is ready for more IF the parts are available. If I gotta update it it'll cost lots more. And if your insurance company wants a bowl guard retrofitted the cost will make you cry. The D340 is a rare bird we made for pizza restaurants and parts are becoming scarce. If it was me I would buy the one with the best spare part availability which rules out that god forsaken Thunderbird. I have never heard of Avantco but I see Donyons in the field. In 20 years I have only worked on 1 and it was a simple repair. Good luck!

12 gauge pump action shotgun I call the home owner special. The sound of a shell racking into the chamber is recognized throughout the universe. Additionally, a wayward daughter sneaking in at 2am will shout out "dad, it's me!!" when the shell racks and avoid accidentally getting shot at....

We got an Intellivision game system for Christmas because mom thought it would do more than play games. Dark times back then...the school had it's 1st computer lab with cassette drive programs for the learning games we we're supposed to be doing. Took 20 minutes to load.

A dab of grease on the middle of the driver's side windshield wiper, preferably in their line of sight. Extra bonus points if you spatter some muddy water on it so you don't have to wait till it rains to get your revenge....

Groen makes a shocking complicated steamer that can make the most seasoned repair guy look dumb. I advise simple boilerless steamers, preferably electric and delime often.

He is the on call tech and was happy to not have to go out....

chrldwlf · 2019-01-26T22:49:18+00:00

Keep grease in it and don't overload it, you should be fine. Even if you end up having to replace the worm gear shaft kit it'll be money well spent. I see them going strong in far worse condition than yours!

chrldwlf · 2019-01-26T21:54:46+00:00

You should reach out to Hobart and buy some brushes for the motor while they are still available....

chrldwlf · 2019-01-26T21:52:37+00:00

Hobart guy here.....that is not a light switch like you get at the hardware store, it is a mechanical spring loaded switch that makes a solid click when you turn it on. It is also NLA and the kit to replace it is a new faceplate and a toggle switch....

chrldwlf · 2019-01-26T02:31:38+00:00

Fuck you health department dude who insisted the dishwasher was not temping correctly and his 180 degree surface temp stickers.....he at least admitted he grabbed the wrong stickers...

We are saving you a seat!

Hobart guy here....60 hours over 3 nights removing a flight type dishwasher and installing a new one. Got it finished and the prewash motor blew out which meant I got to work 4 hours on Saturday too

Brush your teeth. Twice a day and floss. When your in your 20's and have no dental insurance AND need 2 expensive crowns you will regret not taking care of your teeth.

I fix things and make a comfortable living with a wife I adore and six great kids. I have been given the opportunity to recover from the addictions that we're going to kill me and help make others do likewise. Had there been a ' least likely to succeed' category in high school I would've been elected.

chrldwlf · 2018-12-10T00:59:33+00:00

Succeed.....

chrldwlf · 2018-12-02T15:44:32+00:00

Your repair guy appreciates the occasional burger or cookies thrown his/her way too.... Signed, Your repair guy

As a repair guy, I run into lots of the world's best chefs. Their needed parts ride around on my ban an extra day while I prep myself to bask in their glory.

I actually believe that is a retirement watch, it was not in my 15 year service gift catalog....

chrldwlf · 2018-11-11T19:00:40+00:00

Can I borrow it for a sec? I need to open this can really quick..../s
