Water Charge (See Figure 14)
Water enters the dishwasher through the solenoid operated water inlet valve
The valve is energized through the timer Water will enter the machine 1or approximately one minute (All dish-
washers are time filled ) Some models fill for 90 seconds Also some models have 45 second water charges built
into water miser and normal wash cycles Refer to tech sheet in console
NOTE:
The float switch controls the amount of water entering the dishwasher The fill is also time controlled If the
timer fails to advance or the water pressure is extremely high, the float switch will open the circuit to the water
inlet valve thus preventing a flood If the float sticks or does not cut power to the valve, the timer acts as a safety
_o turn power off after the allotted fill time The float and timer switch will not protect against a mechanical failure
of the valve
To satisfactorily clean dishes, the 24" dishwasher must have a water charge of 8 to 11 quarts The !8" models
require 6 5 to 8 quarts if poor washability is experienced, be certain to check for the correct water charge
