COMPONENT CHECKCING

Notes: 1) Always turn the timer knob clockwise. Make adjustments when the door is ajar.

2) Possible overshooting of the detent and gear/cam position from previous operation can aff ect the duration of the fi rst interval - small
overshoots are not a problem.

Drain Pump: To energize, turn the timer to the detent labeled Heavy Wash. Two back-to-back drain intervals provide about 2 minutes of pump out at the
start of this cycle.

Fill Valve: Turn the timer to the unlabeled detent at about the 8 o’clock (239
there for testing of the fi ll valve during production. The w ash segment begins with a 63 second fi ll.

Float: While the fi ll valve is energized (see above), raising the fl oat should result in power being removed from the fi ll valve causing it to close.
Detergent
Dispenser: Follow instructions f or energizing the Fill V alve. Following the initial 63 second fi ll there is a short (9 second) pause f ollowed by 130 seconds

with both the detergent dispenser and the circulation pump energized. The detergent door can be expected to open with 40 to 90 seconds of
dispenser power up time.

Circ Pump: Turn the timer to the Normal Wash detent. Left to run the cycle will drain (62 seconds), pause (3 seconds), fi ll (65 seconds) and then run
the circ pump for about 190 seconds. To energize the circ pump without adding water move originally to the normal wash detent and then
advance the dial by 100 to reach the start of the circ pump operation. The approximate 190 seconds of pump operation will correspond
to about 160 of dial rotation.

Heater: WARNING! When checking that the element is giving off heat be careful not to touch the heating element inside the tub - it will burn.
To check for a failed heater remove power and check the resistance between the two connections. Probes can be inserted in to the back side
of the connectors. The heating element changes resistance with temperature but should always be between 12 and 21 ohms. To check
that it is being energized by the timer, apply power to the unit and turn the timer to the detent labeled Drying/Plate Warmer. The detent
is located at the beginning of a 130 seconds heating interval at the start of the drying portion of the cycle. It is followed by several alternating
periods of pause (about 75 seconds each) and heating (ranging from 65 to 130 seconds in duration). In all, 5 heating interv als f ollow

SERVICE DATA SHEET

WIRING DIAGRAM

This information is intended for use by persons having electrical and mechanical

training and a level of knowledge of these subjects generally considered

acceptable in the appliance repair trade. The manufacturer or seller cannot be

responsible, nor assume any liability, for injury or damage of any kind arising

from the use of this Service Data Sheet.

Pump Assembly

The pump assembly is driven by a synchronous motor. Rotation is
in the counterclockwise direction at up to 3100 RPM. The motor
drives a pump which supplies 100 percent fi ltered water at a rate of
approximately 9.2 GPM.

Draining is accomplished by using a small seperate synchronous
drain pump mounted to the side of the sump. The drain check
valve is located at the discharge end of the drain pump. The drain
hose is attached by a worm gear clamp to the discharge end of the
drain pump.

The drain hose must have a loop at a minimum height of 32 inches
in order to insure proper drainage.

To remove the main circulation (circ) pump fi rst disconnect the
wiring harness connections located at the circ pump’s motor. Next,
remove the two screws that hold the motor bracket and slide the
motor bracket away from the sump. The motor and pump can then
slide out of the sump.

Tub and Door Seal EXPLODED VIEW OF WASH SYSTEM

The door seal is pressed into the tub channel for an interference fi t. Center
the gasket (marked on back) at the tub top center and press in place without
stretching or bunching. The gasket takes a short turn at the bottom of the
tub channel before ending at the channel end wall.
