I don't know if the 21 series still used a Hobart pump. If so, you can probably order one from Hobart.
Steve, the Hobart expert here will hopefully provide an informational post.
Be sure there's nothing stuck in the filter assembly under the wash arm. The arm lifts off as do the filter components below it. |

I have cleaned out the filter assembly under the wash arm. There didn't seem to be any problem there. |

Look underneath and see if there is a leak around the driveshaft. If there is, do not run it until you have it repaired.
I tried to save an older model KA but it turns out the motor was already shot because the leak was allowed to happen.
I think the parts should be still available. the 21 is about the furthest that Sears Parts Direct will go.
Another thing, try to remove all of the wash arm, filters, as far down as you can go, there could be a foreign object, broken glass (be careful) that could be causing the noise.

older hobart motors had replacable ball bearings so if the seal has leaked and damaged the bearings,the bearings can be replaced after the seal is repaired(if the motor is the ball bearing version) |

I don't think this machine is old enough to have replaceable bearings.
I'm also not sure if it can be assumed that since the ID tag indicates the machine was made by Hobart, if the pump was still a Hobart product or if Emerson was making them by the time the 21 series was being produced.
Steve will know for sure, and should be able to provide a source for replacement parts. |

Sears Parts Direct no longer has pumps for this machine. They carry a few miscellaneous parts, but nothing major. |

Lemishine contains citric acid. It's main purpose is to get your glassware sparkling, but will also help to clean up your machine's interior and components in the process. I think it has instructions for dishwasher cleaning on the label. It comes in a plastic container that resembles the type Comet cleanser comes in. I think I'd just fill both detergent cups with it and let 'er rip.
White vinegar also works, but it smells bad. |
