DetergentandRinseAidDispenser
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.
To replace dispenser:
• shut off electricity to dishwasher,
• remove outer door panel assembly,
• disconnect wiring to the actuator,
• remove the six screws,
• remove the dispenser,
• replace and reinstall screws,
• rewire actuator.
Standard Dry Air Flow
Whenthe controladvancestothe“dry” portionof
thecycle,alinearactuatorretractsavalve,which
opens a vent path through the console into the
kitchen.This venting method eliminates
discharging heated moisture into the motor
compartment. The heated, moist air leaving the
dishwasher through the console vent causes
drierairto be drawn intotheunitbyway of intake
vents located at the bottom of the door. The
water on the dishes is evaporated into drier air
and the venting process continues. The heating
element is turned ON and OFF during the entire
drying cycle.
Power Dry Air Flow
The Power Dry configuration is the same as the
Standardexceptithasacrossflowblowerlocated
in the air discharge path. The blower assists the
heating element in producing power to drive the
moist air out of the dishwasher.

retainers toward the middle of the sump.
PumpAssembly
The pump assembly is driven by a synchronous
motor. Rotation is in the counterclockwise
directionat3600 RPM. The motordrivesapump

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
entrance to the drain pump. The drain hose is
