  • Page 8: Component Description

    COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Fill Valve The appliance has an electromagnetically operated solenoid valve, which is connected to the water supply. As the machine fills, a quantity of water is diverted into the fill tank for later use in the regeneration sequence. A typical fill sequence is as follows: The water turbine fills the dishwasher with 2 litres of water.
  • Page 9 Turbidity Sensor Situated in the hose between the circulation motor and heater. It consists of an infrared transmitter and receiver and it has two function within the dishwasher, identifying the soil level and the presence of rinse aid. The analogue value it produces is sent to the control module for processing. During a cycle, e.g.
  • Page 10 Turbo Dry Fan & Condenser - Fitted to models before Serial Number 50214.0000 Mounted on the right hand side of the dishwasher, consisting of a condenser and fan.

  • Page 11 Rinse Aid Warning Indicator Situated next to the salt indicator, illuminates when the rinse aid reservoir requires refilling. The turbidity sensor achieves the detection of rinse aid, utilising the same principle as soil level detection. The final rinse water is measured 5 seconds before the rinse aid is dispensed and another reading is taken 1 minute after the rinse aid has been dispensed, The two readings are compared.
