Operation
The rotation of the power diverter is counter-
clockwise as viewed from the top. The control will
seek the lower primary as the start of the circulation
cycle. Lower reverse and silverware wash are only
used during the main wash segment of a cycle. A
short spray will be detected from the silverware
wash, mid and upper spray systems as well as the
lower reverse until the diverter is positioned to the
lower primary port.
The circulation pump turns on, water pressure
causes the diverter plate to rise and index 1/8 turn.
to lower and index 1/8 turn. This repeats until the
diverter reaches the position the control is set for.

Diverter Position Sensor
A diverter sensor is used to detect the position of the
diverter. A sensor contains two reed switches used
on the outside of the diverter. The sensor is part of
the DC harness. This sectioned illustration of the
bottom of the diverter has been sectioned to show
magnets located on the bottom of the diverter plate.
The diverter is only available as an assembly.
