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.

Standard Dry Air Flow
When the control advances to the “dry” portion of
the cycle, a vent actuation solenoid is closed.
This opens the vent valve and starts the vent fan
both located in the top right rear corner of the tub.
The fan draws in the air from outside the tub,
forcing the hot, humid air down and out the
020905
bottom of the outer door panel. This outside,
cooler, dryer air helps to speed evaporation of
water from the hot dishes. At the same time the
heating element is continually cycled on and off.
On some models the dry portion of the cycle can
be extended to improve drying performance.
place. Next, install the bottom of the seal 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. Then align
and gently press the seal into the channel in only
a few spots. Next, close and latch the door to
allow the gasket to seat properly into the channel.
