Possible Causes

Booster heater not operating correctly, Low incoming water temperature to booster, Faulty rinse temperature probe, Rinse time too short on Insinger control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power to the booster and dishwasher before testing heaters and probes.

  • Measure rinse temperature: Use a calibrated thermometer at the dish surface exiting the final rinse to confirm actual temperature.
  • Check booster operation: Verify that the booster heater energizes and reaches setpoint. Test elements and high-limits as described in earlier entries.
  • Inspect temperature probe: Ensure the rinse temperature probe is clean and properly mounted. Replace if readings are inaccurate.
  • Adjust rinse time: On programmable Insinger controls, confirm that the final rinse duration meets factory recommendations.
