Dispenser; Checking The Dispenser - Electrolux 5000 Series Service Manual

CYCLE, SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS

DISPENSER

The dispenser consists of two dispensers in one
housing, controlled by the use of one wax motor
actuator. The first time the actuator is energized in the
cycle, detergent is dispensed. The second time the
actuator is energized, rinse agent is dispensed.
The rinse aid half of the dispenser can be adjusted to
meet the customer's needs. This is done by removing
the cap from the dispenser and adjusting the arrow
inside to a higher number. The higher the number the
more agent that is dispensed during the rinse cycle. A
sensor inside the rinse aid reservoir triggers the control
to display "LO" when the level of rinse agent is low. The
"LO" display on the control will not affect the operation of the dishwasher.

Checking the Dispenser

· An operational check of the dispenser can be done
using the service test for the control.
- The service test is covered in section "Test for the
Control".
If the dispenser does not open
· Disconnect dishwasher from power supply.
· Remove outer door panel.
- The wax motor normal resistance is 1665.
· Check rinse agent indicator switch.
- An empty dispenser will have a resistance reading
of 0 ohms.
- A dispenser with rinse agent will have an open
resistance reading.
