Active vent (on GLD8312 Series & GLD9312 Series )
The active vent consists of the wax motor and housing.
The active vent helps to reduce the noise level and heat
loss when in the closed position. The control module
supplies 120 VAC to the wax motor. The control board
reverses polarity to drive the motor in a clockwise or
counterclockwise (open or closed) direction.
The vent closes about 2 minutes after the main pump is
switched on during the first fill cycle and opens during
the drying cycle (heated and non-heated). The vent is
open during cooldown periods or when the unit is not in
use.
If the vent is closed and the door is opened during the
wash cycle, the vent will open. When the door is closed
again, the vent will remain open for 2 minutes, then close
again to finish the cycle.
It is normal for water vapor to come through the active
vent during the dry cycle. The active vent can be opened
and closed using the Test Model
