Wax Motor Check
Detergent / Rinse Aid Dispenser
A single Wax Motor is used to activate both the release of
the Detergent Cup Cover and the rinse aid from the
reservoir.
To check the operation of the Wax Motor, removal from
the Dispenser Retainer or Inner Door is not necessary.
First, snap the Detergent Cup Door shut. Then, connect
a Power Test Cord across the two terminals of the Wax
Motor. Plug the Power Test Cord into a 120 VAC
receptacle. The plunger in the center of the Wax Motor
should "push out" and actuate the Dispenser in
approximately 45-60 seconds. Remove voltage to the
Wax Motor and allow the plunger to retract into the Wax
Motor. Apply voltage to the Wax Motor again and observe
for proper lifting of the rinse aid plunger.
