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.

900 Watt Heater
Refer to the cycle chart on the reverse side to
determinewhentheheaterisonduringthewash
cycle. The heater cycles ON and OFF for brief
periods during the drying cycle.
Voltage checks of the heater should be made in
the dry portion of the service test mode.

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.
PumpAssembly
The pump assembly is driven by a synchronous
motor. Rotation is in the counterclockwise
directionat3600RPM. The motor drives apump
which supplies 100 percent filtered water at a
rate of approximately 12 GPM to one spray arm
atatime.Thespray arm’soperationisalternated
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
dischargeendofthe drain pump. The drainhose

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

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.
