Page 3: Ia. General Hazards
SAFETY I. SAFETY IA. General hazards Don’t use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When opening the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious injury. -
Page 4: Installation
INSTALLATION Don’t over tighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may damage the water inlet valve and cause a water leak. Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. -
Page 5: Iic. Electrical Connection
INSTALLATION IIC. Electrical connection Install according to national and local codes. Carefully place dishwasher on its back to make electrical connections to the terminal block. Turn power off at the fuse box. Extend power cord approximately 21” from the left side of the opening, and 30” from the back wall, making sure the cord doesn’t contact any moving parts. -
Page 6: Iie. Drain And Condensation Hose Connections
INSTALLATION Attach the hot water line to the 90° elbow and route it underneath the unit toward the hot water connection. Make sure the line doesn’t contact any moving parts. IIE. Drain and condensation hose connections Plumbing installations will vary - refer to local codes. The maximum length of the drain hose, including leading to an air gap (if any) is 150"... -

COMPONENTS IV. COMPONENTS IVA. Dishwasher components Tank with base and sump The tank, base and sump are assembled as one unit and aren’t available as a service part. If plastic cable holders, part holders and screw holes are damaged or stripped, the entire dishwasher must be replaced. Rear leveling foot The rear leveling foot can’t be adjusted from the front –... - Page 13 COMPONENTS Pump suspension strap Heating element Seal ring The heat pump is accessible from the bottom or the back, but is best accessed from the bottom. Pump access Sump Pump Pump Sump Float The float is a safety device which starts the drain pump if there’s too much water in the tank.
- Page 14 COMPONENTS Drain pump The BLDC 9-vane drain pump has variable speed and direction. The power control module controls speed and direction, detects end of draining and blocked rotor and corrects locked rotor conditions. The dishwasher won’t run if the drain pump is disconnected or disabled. To remove the drain pump, rotate it clockwise and pull it out.
- Page 15 COMPONENTS Siphoning Siphoning may occur in any type of drain pump when low water flow allows a siphon (suction) to develop, pulling waste water back into the pump. Sump check valves along with air gaps/high loops prevent siphons from being created. Water inlet / condensation system Dishwashers use a common water inlet and condensation system.
- Page 16 COMPONENTS Drain hose high loop and left side condensation exit are shown below. Door spring The door spring mechanism is simple, requiring no pulleys or cords. A long narrow spring connects between the base and hinge lever (using a plastic connector) to provide proper tension.
- Page 17 COMPONENTS Door latch The door latch is mounted on top of the tank and doesn’t contain a microswitch. It uses a Hall-effect sensor in the door to sense when the door is open or closed. The Hall-effect sensor is held by two T-10 Torx screws. The door latch is held by one T-20 Torx screw and two tank tabs.
- Page 18 COMPONENTS Terminal block Terminal blocks clearly show line (L), neutral (N) & ground (G) connections. Dishwasher wire harnesses have spade terminals which connect to terminals on the rear of the terminal block. Terminal blocks can’t be installed in the field – the terminal box assy with terminal block must be ordered.
- Page 19 COMPONENTS Dispenser The dispenser, located in the middle of the inner door, reliably dispenses detergent and rinse-aid. During each wash program, the dispenser operates twice, once to dispense detergent and again to dispense rinse-aid. HINT: The amount of rinse-aid dispensed is changed on the control panel, not at the dispenser. Optical Rinse-aid Coil...
- Page 20 COMPONENTS CAUTION: Inner door edges are sharp! Cover door edges and remove dispenser carefully. Optical rinse-aid sensors Optical rinse-aid sensors determine if rinse-aid is present using a light beam and sensor. With rinse-aid present, the optical receiver senses a diffused light beam.
- Page 21 COMPONENTS Aqua sensor The aqua sensor is located above the drain pump. It’s a one-piece assembly (i.e. not a small circuit board pulled out of a plastic housing). It senses water cleanliness and allows the dishwasher control to determine removing cycles to save energy.
- Page 22 COMPONENTS Hose system Several hoses run underneath dishwasher bases: internal drain hose, condensation tube and water inlet hose. The internal drain hose connects to the sump and the other hoses connect to the water inlet / condensation system. Inlet hose Inlet hose Condensation tube...
- Page 23 COMPONENTS Sump parts The sump contains a filter screen, coarse filter and micro filter. Micro filter Coarse Coarse filter filter Filter screen Filter screen Micro filter The sump holds the drain pump cover and suction cap. The suction cap provides a proper flow rate of water through the sump. Suction Drain pump cover 702_58300000150187_ara_en_a...
- Page 24 COMPONENTS Operation Water circulation The heat pump pumps water from the sump through a triple filter system to the heater. When water enters the heater, a sensor determines water is present and allows the heater to be activated. As water flows, it’s heated until it reaches the pre-set temperature determined by the cycle.

Page 43: Vib. Troubleshooting
Fault Diagnostics VIB. Troubleshooting Dishwasher troubleshooting Two NTC’s protect the heater. Both NTC’s are checked by the control – if they overheat, the control shuts down the dishwasher (E:08 error code). dishwasher shuts down if only one NTC returns a signal (E:12 error code) or if they show different values (E:11 error code). - Page 44 Fault Diagnostics Water Leaking Past Doors Water seldom leaks out of bottom of dishwasher doors. Usually it’s a customer or installation issue. Occasionally air pockets (from standing water in loops) or kinks in condensation tubes block condensation tubes and cause leaking. Pressure builds in tanks, blowing water past lower door seals (usually at start of cycles).
- Page 45 Fault Diagnostics Damaged water valves -- Primarily from fittings being overtightened. A damaged valve can allow some water onto kitchen floors. Customer self-help diagnosing Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems unrelated to a dishwasher failure. The following fixes can be made by customers without calling for repair. ...
