What does ITW Food Equipment Group FIL mean?
The machine detected a low water level at the start of the wash cycle. This often happens when items from the previous cycle carried away a large amount of water or when ware is positioned so that it collects water. The machine corrects this automatically by refilling and reheating before the wash resumes.
Symptoms
- Display shows FIL at the start of a wash cycle
- Wash tank water level lower than expected
- Brief delay while the machine refills
- Water carried out on previously washed items
Common causes
- Items from the previous cycle removed a large amount of water
- Ware oriented so that it collects and removes water
- Normal water loss between cycles
- Low starting level before the wash begins

Diagnostic steps
Check carried-out water
Check whether items from the previous wash cycle removed a large amount of water from the dishwasher.
Check ware orientation
Check the orientation of ware to ensure water is not being collected and carried out.
Let the machine self-correct
The condition will automatically correct after the next cycle starts.
Allow refill and reheat
The wash tank will fill to the proper level and heat to temperature, then the wash cycle will resume.
When to call a professional
FIL is normally self-correcting and tied to water carried out on ware, so it rarely needs service. Contact Hobart Service at 1-888-4HOBART only if FIL appears repeatedly when ware is loaded correctly and the tank is not losing water, which could indicate a fill or level-sensing problem an authorized technician should examine.
