WATER/SERVICE TEST

The water/service test, (WST) is a special function initiated from the power failure mode.

While in power failure mode

- simultaneously press the AIR DRY and START/PAUSE pad.

The dishwasher will then step through the test cycle per the chart. Pushing the START/ PAUSE pad will advance the dishwasher to the next step.

TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS

Pump Assembly

The assembly is driven by a synchronous motor. Rotation is in the counterclockwise direction at 2900RPM. The motor drives a pump which supplies 100 percent ﬁ ltered water at a rate of approximately 12 GPM to one spray arm at a time. The spray arm’s operation is alternated by small “pauses” of the motor during the wash cycle.

Draining is accomplished by using a small separate 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.

900 Watt Heater

Refer to the cycle chart on the reverse side to determine when the heater is on during the wash cycle. The heater cycles ON and OFF for brief periods during the drying cycle.

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 do the following in sequence: Shut off electricity to the dishwasher. Disconnect the wiring harness connections located at the circ pump’s motor. Remove the two screws that hold the motor bracket. Slide the motor bracket away from the sump. The motor and pump, now held only by friction against O-rings, can be pulled out of the sump.

Voltage checks of the heater should be made in the dry portion of the service test mode.

When the control advances to the “dry” portion of the cycle heated, moist air leaves the dishwasher

This process continues throughout the drying phase as the heating element is

turned ON and OFF. through the console vent. Drier air is then drawn into the unit through vents at the bottom of the door. Heat stored in the dishware causes the water on the dishes to evaporate into the drier air.

Detergent and Rinse

The detergent and rinse aid dispenser is a one piece component consisting of a molded detergent cup and a built-in rinse aid dispenser.

The detergent cup has a spring loaded cover and the rinse aid dispenser has a removable cover.

To re-ﬁ ll, remove the cap and pour rinse aid in until the level shows above the bottom of the cylindrical opening and the sight gauge changes appearance. If any is spilled wipe it up before starting the cycle. The amount of rinse aid released

can be adjusted by turning the arrow indicator from one, being the least amount, to four, being the greatest amount.

To replace dispenser:

• shut off electricity to dishwasher,

• remove outer door panel assembly,

• disconnect wiring to the actuator,

• remove the six screws,

• remove the dispenser,

• replace and reinstall screws,

• rewire actuator.

Tub and Door Seal

Mounting Rib

Tub Interior

Short Turn

Line up the center mark on the back of the seal with the tub top center and press it into the channel. Move along the channel left and right periodically pressing the seal into place without bunching or stretching it until going around the corners at the top. Next, place the free ends into the channel at the bottom left and right by creating a short turn at the bottom of the tub channel and ensuring the seal extends to the locator ridge at the bottom of the tub (see enlarged portion of the attached image). Then, press the seal periodically into place. Finally slide your ﬁ ngers over the seal to press it fully in place. When complete a single face of the seal should be visible and ﬂ ush with the edge of the channel.
