• Dispose of discarded appliance and shipping or
packing material properly .
• Do not allow children to play in or on dishwasher.
• Do not abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a
dishwasher.
• Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for
use in a dishwasher.
• Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the
reach of children.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make
sure disposer is completely empty before running
dishwasher.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately
after use.
• Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the

To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
• Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding
wires are NOT to be used as current carrying
conductors.
• Standard accepted color coding for ground wires
is green or green with a yellow stripe.
• Grounding wires should not be removed from
individual components while servicing, unless
component is to be removed and replaced.
• Replace all removed grounding wires before
completing service.
To avoid death, severe personal injury, fire or
electrical shock when using dishwasher observe
the following:
• Observe all local codes and ordinances.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
• Connect dishwasher to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system.
• DO NOT ground to gas line.
• DO NOT ground to cold water pipe if pipe is
interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets, or
other insulating (non-conducting) materials.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure this appliance is properly grounded.
• This dishwasher is designed to operate on
regular house current (120 V , 60 Hz). Use a
circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit
breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if dishwasher is
connected with a food waste disposer.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has
not been used for such a period, before using
dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucet s and let
water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas.

Electrical Equipment & Testing
Electrical T est Equipment
The equipment required to service these models depends
largely upon the condition encountered. Locating a
malfunction will often require the use of electrical testing
equipment such as:
Appliance T est Meter
Clamp-On Ammeter
Motor T est Cord
Appliance T est Meter
An Appliance Test Meter is a multi-purpose tester
combining an AC/DC volt age tester with a multi-range
ohmmeter.
The easiest means of testing electrical components is
"Continuity Testing" with an appliance meter. Continuity
is a complete or continuous path from one point in an
electrical circuit to another.
Digital Test Meter
can be used to check for open
or closed circuits, measure
resistance, AC and DC volts,
and temperature.
Analog T est Meter
can be used to check for
open or closed circuits,
measure resistance, AC and
DC volts, and temperature.
The obvious advantages of being able to check electrical
components and circuits without power applied is one of
the features of the Ohmmeter. Multiple ranges allow
accurate determination of resistances of both single
components and entire circuit paths. Resistance is
measured in "Ohms."
WARNING
!
T o avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
Always be sure the power has been disconnected
before making resistance measurements. Failure to
do so will also result in damage to your meter!
Internal batteries provide all the power needed to
make resistance checks. They should be checked
at least once a year and replaced as needed.
Continuity T esting: is a process of eliminating electrical
components involved in a given function of the appliance,
until the inoperative part is found. By reviewing the list of
possible electrical problems under a given condition, and
then performing appropriate continuity checks of the parts
involved, you should be able to locate the electrical
component which is inoperative.
NOTE: When checking components or circuit paths for
continuity , external wiring should be disconnected to
eliminate false readings through external paths. Isolate
what you want to test.
©2004 Maytag Appliances Company 16022783 Rev . 0 7
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT & TESTING
VOLTAGE CHECKS
Generally , these checks will consist of taking readings
at the wall receptacle in order to determine the
availability of voltage to the product. V oltage checks on
individual components of a product are not
recommended due to the possibility of electrical shock.
Component part testing is best accomplished through
continuity checks with an Appliance Test Meter.
NOTE:
indicated range may cause permanent damage to the
meter. T o prevent damage, first select highest range and
then lower the range for readings which fall within the
lower scale.
Clamp-On Ammeter
can be used to detect shorts.
Overloads on the circuit breaker
or fuse can be traced
to either the appliance
or circuit breaker by
checking the current
draw.
Each circuit in an appliance has a "Normal" current
draw, which is an indication of the performance of that
circuit. Current draw levels of less than or more than
normal give clues to possible malfunctions. The clampon ammeter measures these circuits without breaking
the circuit by measuring the strength of the magnetic
field developed around each conductor. Current is read
by separating the conductors and clamping the jaws of
the ammeter around each conductor on which current is
read. Low amperage readings indicate problems, such
as damaged heating elements, etc. High amperage
readings indicate the unit being tested is operating under
an increased mechanical or electrical load.
NOTE: Overloads on a circuit breaker or fuse can be
traced to the product being tested or the circuit breaker
(or fuse) by checking the products current draw . If the
amperage reading is less than the breaker reading, the
breaker or fuse box is at fault.
Use of the meter on voltage higher than the
Use of Ammeter on dishwasher:
1. Motor Current - the reading can be taken at the
leads on the motor start relay or at the male connector.
2. Heating Element Current - The reading can be
taken using either lead to the element.
Motor Test Cord
DANGER
!
T o avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
• Always plug test cord into a properly grounded
receptacle.
• Always make connection to components before
plugging test cord into receptacle.
A motor test cord may be used to electrically check
operation of the various electrical components without
removing them from the unit. Testing in this manner
merely determines whether or not the part will function
independently of other electrical components. In order to
make accurate tests, proper connection of the motor test
cord is important. With the aid of the drawings under
Drive Motor Test, installation of the motor test cord may
be done quickly and accurately .
Grounding and Polarity
DANGER
!
T o avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
• Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from any
plug.
The receptacle used for all Maytag products operating on
120 V AC must be properly grounded and polarized.
The power cord used on the appliances should be
equipped with a three (3) prong polarized grounding plug
8 16022783 Rev. 0 ©2004 Maytag Appliances Company
Electrical Equipment & Testing
for protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded and polarized
receptacle.
It is the responsibility of the person installing the
appliance to assure it is adequately grounded and
polarized at the point of installation, taking into
consideration local conditions and requirements. In
cases where only a two (2) prong receptacle is available,
it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three (3) prong
receptacle. All grounding and wiring should be done in
accordance with National, State, and Local codes.
NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
DO
ELECTRICAL TESTS
WARNING
!
T o avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
Wax Motor Check
Detergent / Rinse Aid Dispenser
A single Wax Motor is used to activate both the release of
the Detergent Cup Cover and the rinse aid from the
reservoir.
T o check the operation of the W ax Motor, removal from
the Dispenser Retainer or Inner Door is not necessary .
First, snap the Detergent Cup Door shut. Then, connect
a Power Test Cord across the two terminals of the Wax
Motor. Plug the Power Test Cord into a 120 VA C
receptacle. The plunger in the center of the Wax Motor
should "push out" and actuate the Dispenser in
approximately 45-60 seconds. Remove voltage to the
Wax Motor and allow the plunger to retract into the Wax
Motor. Apply voltage to the W ax Motor again and observe
for proper lifting of the rinse aid plunger .
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
• Always plug test cord into a properly grounded
receptacle.
• Always make connection to components before
plugging test cord into receptacle.
WATER VALVE TEST
The Water V alve may be checked without removing it from
the Dishwasher.
T o check the W ater V alve for operation, hook up the test
cord as follows:

Heating Element
The purpose of the Heating Element is to provide heat
during the dry cycle and increase water temperature
during portions of the wash cycle when certain options are
selected.
The element is dual wattage. During wash cycles, it is
rated at 830 watts. During the dry portion of the cycle, it
is rated at 650 watts. Increased wattage is possible
because of water flowing across the element sheath.

Wattage Checks
To verify wattage of the element, take an amperage
reading at the blue wire of the Heating Element. Multiply
the amperage reading by voltage at the Dishwasher
(Amps x Volts = Watts).
Normal element amperage during the dry portion of the
cycle is 5.0 to 5.5 amps. When used during a wash
cycle, normal amperage is 7.0 to 7.5 amps.
5. Release Heating Element by tipping Heater Support
Brackets towards the Tub front corners and rotating
until bracket unlocks.
6. Lift element out of Tub.
