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 cover.
Liquid rinse aid is added to the dispenser up to
the fill line indicator. The amount of rinse aid
released can be adjusted from 1, being the
least amount, to 6, 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,

Pump Assembly
The circulation pump is driven by a permanent
split-capacitor asynchronous induction motor.
When looking into the inlet hose, the impeller
rotates in the counter-clockwise direction when
120V 60 Hz AC voltage is applied. The motor
drives the pump, supplying 100% filtered water at
a rate of approximately 17 GPM to all three spray
arms at once. At this full-wave mains voltage and
flow-rate, the motor speed is approximately 2900
rpm.
Draining is accomplished by using a smaller,
separate, synchronous drain pump motor
mounted to the sump. The drain pump is
connected to the sump directly.
A rubber check valve flap is inserted at the
discharge end of the drain outlet pipe, which
is integrated on the sump.
A raised drain hose loop section is routed on
the side of the unit to help prevent/limit back
flow out of the dishwasher. No additional
such loops are required.
The main circulation pump is removed by
disconnecting both attached clamps and
hoses, disconnecting the wiring harness to
the pump assembly, un-strapping the pump
out of the rubber mount in the basement, and
disconnecting the running capacitor. Wire
harness connections include 2 earth tabs,
motor connector, heater connector and the 2
terminals of the running capacitor.
