Personal Injury Hazard

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.
The main pump can easily be removed by

disconnecting the upper spray arm supply tube
hose, the drain pump connector hose, the wiring
harness connections made at the circulation
motor, the water heat thermistor located on the
bottom of the pump and rotating the four sump
retainers toward the middle of the sump.

Pump Assembly

The pump assembly is driven by a synchronous
motor. Rotation is in the counterclockwise
direction at 3600 RPM. The motor drives a pump
which supplies 100 percent filtered 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 pump is
connected to the main pump by a small rubber
hose. The drain check valve is located at the
discharge end of the drain pump. The drain hose

Detergent and Rinse Aid Dispenser

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.

Liquid rinse aid is added to the dispenser up to
the fill line indicator. 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.

The fan draws in the air from outside the tub,
forcing the hot, humid air down and out the
