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.
DO
NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
ELECTRICAL TESTS
To 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.
WATER VALVE TEST
The Water Valve may be checked without removing it from
the Dishwasher.
To check the Water Valve for operation, hook up the test
cord as follows:
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.
To check the operation of the Wax 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 VAC
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 Wax Motor again and observe
for proper lifting of the rinse aid plunger.
