CONSTRUCTION & OPERATION
WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The water distribution system consists of an upper and
lower spray arm, upper (spray) arm delivery tube, filter,
soil director, pump, sump, and check ball. The system
is designed to operate only one spray arm at a time.
During the first wash and first and second rinses, only
the lower spray arm operates. In the second wash, third
and fourth rinses the spray arms alternate about every
90 seconds.
This alternating of the spray arms is achieved with a
check ball located on a ramp between two outlets of the
pump. There is an outlet to the bottom spray arm and an
outlet to the upper arm delivery tube. In the normal
position the ball is at the bottom of the ramp, in front of
the opening to the upper arm delivery tube.
the ball and enter the tube, and fills the tube at a rate of
approximately four inches a second. At the same time,
the outlet to the lower spray arm is open, so the lower
spray arm operates. When the pump stops, the pressure
is removed from the ball and the water flows down the
tube, forcing the ball up the ramp and against the outlet
to the lower spray arm. If the pump remains off for more
than 3 seconds, all the water in the tube escapes and
the ball returns to the bottom of the ramp. But, if the
pump is started in less than .6 seconds, the water from
the upper arm delivery tube is still forcing the ball up the
ramp against the outlet to the lower spray arm. The
force of the water from the pump continues to hold the
ball against the outlet to the lower spray arm which
leaves the outlet to the upper arm delivery tube open.
When the ball is in this position only the upper spray arm
operates. This momentary stopping of the pump is
controlled by a contact in the timer.
Another unique feature of the water distribution system
is the two cavities of the sump. One cavity provides
filtered water to the pump for recirculation through the
spray arms. The other, called a quiet water cavity,
allows soil to collect in the area of the macerator blade,
where it is held until the drain pump removes it.
When the pump starts, the force of the water pushes the
ball to block the opening to the upper arm delivery tube.
WATER DISTRIBUTION COMPONENTS
Wash Pump
The recirculation (wash) pump has three (3) functional
parts, a 1/12th HP drive motor, impeller, and macerator
blade. The pump circulates water at the rate of 12
gallons per minute. This pump is used only during the
wash cycle, a separate pump is used during the drain
cycle. The wash pump is to be replaced as a complete
assembly.
Not all of the water is blocked however. The opening is
constructed to allow a small amount of water to bypass
Page 13
Upper Spray Arm
The upper spray arm hangs from a bracket that is
snapped to the upper rack. The water is supplied to the
arm with a nozzle and funnel arrangement. The nozzle
is located at the top of the tub and the funnel is located
directly below it and directs water into the arm. All the
spray jets but three face up.
Lower Spray Arm
The lower spray arm rotates on the lower spray arm
support. It has two functions, washing the dishes and
cleaning the filter. The jets located on the top of the arm
clean the dishes and propel the arm. The three (3) jets
located on the bottom of the arm are aimed to flush the
soil on the filter toward the glass trap and soil director.
Filter
Two types of filter materials are used, molded
polypropylene and stainless steel, depending on the
model.
Polyproplene filter
This is a molded filter consisting of two parts; the filter,
which covers the entire sump, plus an inner basket,
which directs food soil to the drain portion of the pump.
The inner basket can be constructed of fine polyester
mesh or polypropylene around the sides of the basket.
The bottoms of both baskets are open to allow the soil
to enter the drain portion of the pump.
Lower Spray Arm With Collapsible Tower
The spray arm rotates 100% of the time with the tower
assembly fully extended during the wash and rinse
cycles. The arm has two functions; washing the dishes
and cleaning the filter. The jets, located on the top of the
arm, clean the dishes and propel the arm. The two jets
located on the bottom of the arm are aimed to flush the
soil on the filter toward the soil director.
Stainless Steel Filter
The stainless steel filter covers the entire sump area
with an inner basket of fine mesh polyester. The bottom
of this basket is open to allow food soil to enter the drain
portion of the pump.
Page 14
Drain Pump
The only function of the drain pump is to remove water
from the dishwasher. It is driven by a 1/25th HP drive motor.
It consists of 3 function parts; a pump cover, impeller and
armature, and stator. The pump only comes as an
assembly. The pump cover can be removed for easy
cleaning of the pump.
Drying System
Static Vent
The drying system on the dishwasher can employ one
of three types of systems:
1. Static Dry System - The vent is located on the
upper left-hand side of the door and is open at all
times. This allows the warm, moist air to escape out
the vent grill. Air is drawn into the dishwasher tub
through the opening across the bottom of the door.
2. Active Vent System - The vent is closed up until the
start of the dry cycle, at which time the vent is
opened and the warm, moist air is allowed to escape.
Also, the air is brought into the tub through the
bottom of the door.
3. Power Vent System - This system is the same as
the Active Vent System but with the addition of a
blower motor. At the beginning of the dry cycle, the
vent opens and a small motor with a centrifugal
blower starts, accelerating the movement of air
from the dishwasher.
Active Vent
Power Vent
The door vent actuator opens the vent only during the
dry cycle. It is closed during all other cycles to minimize
heat loss and to prevent noise from being transmitted
into the kitchen.
Page 15
DRYING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Lower Vent Housing
The lower vent housing is located between the inner
door assembly and control housing and is mounted to
the inner door panel. It surrounds an opening in the
inner door panel. The opening is covered with a moveable
vent valve.
Vent Valve
The vent valve is a rectangular rubber covered pad
slightly larger than the opening. The vent valve is
attached to the vent actuator which is electrically
operated.
Vent Actuator
The actuator is made up of a rod, slide, wax motor , and
spring. The valve is attached to one end of the rod and
the slide is inserted in the other. The spring pushes in
on the slide forcing the rod to push the valve against the
opening in the door panel.
When the timer enters the dry cycle, 120 VAC is applied
to the wax motor. The wax motor is made up of a heating
disk, wax chamber and piston. When voltage is applied
to the heating disk, the wax in the chamber heats
causing the wax to expand, driving the piston out. The
piston forces the slide out causing the vent valve to
open.
The vent actuator is replaced as a complete assembly.
No individual replacement parts are available.
Blower
Models that feature Fan Assisted Dry use a small motor
and centrifugal blower assembly which is mounted to
the top section of the lower vent housing.
Upper Vent Housing
The upper vent Housing is screwed to the blower and
directs air from the blower to the outlet in the console.
Models that do not have a blower use a different upper
vent housing which connects directly to the lower vent
housing.

DISPENSING SYSTEM
Detergent & Rinse Aid Dispenser
The detergent & rinse aid dispenser consists of two
dispensers combined in one housing that are controlled
with one wax motor actuator. The first time the actuator
is energized in a cycle, it dispenses detergent. The
second time the actuator is energized, it dispenses
rinse aid. The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be
adjusted from one to four (1 - 4) by using a pointer under
the fill cap. The dispenser is replaced as a complete
assembly. No individual replacement parts are available.
Dispenser Operation
The dispenser has two detergent cups:
1.A cup with a spring loaded cover with a
manual or automatic release latch.
2.A cup formed in the inner door panel without
a cover.
Prior to starting the dishwasher, detergent is added to
the dispenser cup and the cover is latched close. The
open cup is also filled but empties into the tub as soon
as the door is lifted to the upright position.
The detergent in the covered cup is held until the start
of the second wash. The timer then supplies 120 VAC
to the dispenser actuator for one minute. It takes 30
seconds for the actuator to move the pivot arm far
enough to release the cover. When power is applied to
the actuator, the actuator plunger pushes the end of the
pivot arm down. The pivot arm rotates on the shaft of the
detergent dispenser door latch. As the shaft rotates, it
turns the door latch , releasing the spring loaded cover.
The pivot arm is spring loaded so that when power is
removed, it returns to the normal (horizontal) position.
The other end of the pivot arm has a pin that moves in
a slot(s) of the rinse injector pump arm. The rinse
injector pump arm is slotted in such a way that when the
actuator pushes the lever down the first time to release
the detergent cup cover, the pin moves up but does not
raise the rinse injector pump arm. When the timer
removes power from the actuator, the spring forces the
rinse injector pump arm end of the pivot armdown. The
compond slot in the rinse injector pump arm directs the
pivot arm pin down the front of the rinse injector pump
arm and under a shorter slot in the center of the arm.
When the timer reaches the middle of the final rinse
cycle, it again applies 120 VAC to the dispenser actuator
which forces the pivot arm up at the rinse injector end.
As the pin engages the shorter slot, it raises the rinse
injector pump arm which operatesthe pump. When the
power is removed, the pivot arm spring forces the pin to
the bottom of the slot. A leaf spring pushes the rinse
injector pump arm to the left so that the pin returns to the
original starting position.
DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY
The door latch assembly has two functions; one is to
lock the door in a closed position and the other is to
operate the door switches.
The door latch assembly consists of the door handle,
door handle bracket, door catch, door switch bracket,
and door switches. The assembly is secured to the
inner door panel with two locater pins and two screws.
The panel is hidden by and accessed through the
control panel.
When the door is closed, the door strike (mounted on
the tub) forces the spring loaded catch to rotate back
until the bottom of the catch clears the door handle
bracket. At that time, the spring forces the door handle
bracket to rotate. The bar at the top of the door handle
rotates back under the door catch locking the door. The
plunger on the bottom of the bracket rotates forward,
closing the door switches.
The door is released by lifting up on the door handle.
When the handle is lifted up, the door handle bracket
rotates in at the top, allowing the door catch to rotate
open, and out at the bottom to open the door switches.
When the catch is rotated to the open position, it holds
the door handle bracket away from the door switches.

Selector Switch and Thermostats
(Mechanical Timer Models)
Depending on the model, the selector switch could be
a rocker selector switch with two selections or a push
button selector switch with from two to eight buttons and
consisting of from one to four switches.
Heated Dry
If the dishwasher has an option for "Heated Dry", this
switch will be in series with the element. When the timer
advances to the dry portion of the cycle, contacts will
close to apply power to the heating element. When
"ON" is selected, the contacts in the switch will be
closed, applying power to the element. If "OFF" is
selected, the contacts in the switch will be open.
Hi-Temp Wash
The selector switch has a selection for Hi-Temp Wash;
the switch is in parallel with a thermostat mounted on
the bottom of the tub and with a contact in the timer. The
selector switch, temp assure thermostat, and the temp
boost thermostat are all in series with the timer motor.
Both thermostats are normally open thermostats. When
the timer reaches the end of the second wash cycle, the
contact in the timer supplying power to run thetimer
motor will open. At which time, if the selector switch for
the Hi-Temp Wash has been selected, power to run the
timer motor must come through the thermostats. The
temperature of the water in the tub must rise to 137° ±
5° F for the thermostat to close and the timer motor to
advance. If the water temperature is below 137° ± 5° F,
the timer will pause until the heating element raises the
temperature of the water in the tub and allow the
thermostat to close.
Hi-Temp Rinse
If the selector switch was a selection for a Hi-Temp
rinse, the switch is in parallel with a thermostat mounted
in the tub, and the contact in the timer, the same as the
Hi-Temp wash. The operation for the Hi-Temp rinse will
be the same as for the Hi-Temp wash with the exception,
on some models, the temperature of the water in the tub
will be 150° ± 5° F for the thermostat to close to give a
sanitizing rinse.
High Limit Thermostat
The High Limit Thermostat is mounted on the bottom of
the tub in the left rear. This thermostat is a normally
closed thermostat. It is used as a safety in the event of
a component failure in the dishwasher. The thermostat
will open at 200°F and will reset at 100°F.
Page 18
DISHWASHER LEVELING
The dishwasher used four hex shaped leveling legs. They allow the dishwasher to be leveled to any type of
flooring. The tops of the legs are tapered to 3/16" hex so a wrench or socket may be used to adjust the legs from
the top of the leveler.
