Wash Diverter Disassembly - Viking FDB451 Service Manual

procedures require power to be connected. Discharge capacitor through a resistor before attempting to service.
Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.

Wash Diverter Disassembly

The wash diverter is designed to direct the
water flow to the upper arm, lower arm or
both. When required, the main control sends
120-volts AC from terminal P6-2 (gray) wire
on the control board and neutral to activate
the motor. The yellow wire on the diverter
sends line voltage back to the control board
to P6-5 (line in-yellow wire) and tells the
controller the position of the diverter.

! WARNING
Remove the diverter from the sump
assembly. The image below (left) shows the
rear of the diverter and below right shows the
sump area with the diverter removed.
It is recommended that the diverter be taken out
before removing the circulation motor. It makes it
easier to handle the motor assembly.
