I have a much older MD-18 and the heat element corroded out , I went to replace it only to find it was a 220/240 volt HE which was installed in a 110/120 volt unit..? Was this the original idea by MoyerD.? Or did maybe someone replace with WRONG heat element during a service situation? This unit ran fine until the HE fried.. was that machine designed for a 220/240 v heater? TY

GENERAL Electrical Power Requirements Model MD18-1 MD18-2 NOTE: All machines come with a 5 Foot cord and plug. Standard 15 amp receptacle required. Booster Machine Voltage Rise Full Load Amp 115/60/1 115/60/1 Power Requirement (125% Service Factor)
INSTALLATION Unpacking WARNING: Care should be taken when lifting the machine to prevent damage. Immediately after unpacking your machine, inspect for any shipping damage. If damage is found, save the packing material and contact the carrier immediately. Remove the glasswasher from the skid. Adjust the feet if required, then move the machine to its permanent location.
Drain Connections Your Moyer Diebel glasswasher is supplied with a flexible 5/8" I.D. drain hose, which must be connected to a 1-1/2" drain using a wye (Y) fitting. Additional drain hose may be purchased from a Moyer Diebel parts distributor.
Completing Installation Remove any foreign material from inside the machine. Check to assure scrap basket and sump cover are in place. After plumbing and electrical connections are completed, check the machine for water leaks by depressing the ON/FILL switch on the front panel, then close and latch the door(s). This allows the tank to fill and to complete the rinse cycle.
OPERATION OPERATION Operation Summary The following is a summary of your Glasswashing Machine operating cycle: The cycle begins when you close the door and push the cycle switch. The green cycle lamp lights and the pump starts. The pump runs during the wash cycle. The pump stops, and the drain valve is opened.

NOTE: The machine may be stopped at any time by opening the door. When restarted, the cycle does not start over. It will continue from the point at which it was interrupted. 7. The pump will automatically stop and the green cycle light will turn off indicating the cycle is completed.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE The efficiency and life of your machine is increased by regularly scheduled preventive maintenance. A well maintained machine gives better results and service. An investment of a few minutes of daily maintenance will be worthwhile. The best maintenance you can provide is to keep your machine clean. Components that are not regularly cleaned and flushed will clog and become inoperative.
Deliming Your glasswasher should be delimed regularly as required. This will depend on the mineral content of your water. Inspect your machine interior for lime deposits. If deliming is required, a deliming agent should be used for best results. DANGER: Deliming solution or other acids must not come in contact with household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) or any chemicals containing chlorine, iodine, bromine, or fluorine.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance Schedule • As Required Check the temperature gauge reading. Check the chemical supplies and refill as necessary. • Weekly Inspect all water lines for leaks and tighten them at joints if required. Clean all detergent residue from the exterior of the machine. Check the drain for leaks.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before determining any specific cause of a breakdown or abnormal operation of your glasswasher, check that: All switches are ON. Wash arms are clean. Scrap screen is properly positioned and clean. Thermostat(s) are at their correct setting. Sanitizer, detergent, and rinse additive dispensers are adequately filled. All plumbing valves are open.
