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.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES Daily Maintenance Requirements 1. Check the chemical supply containers and replenish as needed. 2. Inspect the scrap screens and baskets for bent or damaged parts. 3. Check the spray arm bearings and make sure that arms turn freely. 4.
6. Open door and add deliming solution (per chemical supplier’s instructions) directly in wash tank. • PP-28 holds 24 US gallons (90.8 Liters) of water. 7. Close doors. 8. Push start button and run an automatic cycle.

Use extreme caution when testing circuits while power is applied to the machine. Fill/Rinse Solenoid Valves There are two different types of valves used on the PP-28; Hot Water and Steam valves, both of which are rated 120VAC. The steam booster and steam fill valves come with a four screw pattern on the body.
COMPONENTS BASIC SERVICE (CONT.) Hi-Limit Switch On machines with electric tank and boosters, a separate thermostat is installed that interrupts the power if the temperature exceeds a preset limit. When the over temperature condition is resolved, the red button located on top of the switch, must be pushed to reset the power to the elements. Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) A 3/4”...
To Reset the Motor Overload: • Flip the starter switch to the On position. • Run the dishwasher and test the AMP draw of the motor in question. If the motor checks okay then there may be a wiring problem or the overload may be defective.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE (CONT.) Pump Timer Refer to Fig.4 and Fig. 5 There are two timers in control cabinet of the PP-28, one is located on the face of the cabinet panel and controls the pump time, while the other one is located inside the top of the control cabinet and controls the final rinse time.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE ELECTRICAL SERVICE (Cont.) Automatic Fill/Low Water Heat Protection Dual Float Switches – Refer to Fig. 6 Each tank contains a dual float. The device consists of an angled stem containing two reed switches. Two stainless steel ball floats slide over the stem and are free to move up and down.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE (Cont.) Thermostat Locations and Adjustments Refer to Fig. 7 Electric tank heat is controlled by two thermostats. 1. The control thermostat which regulates the temperature. 2. The high limit thermostat which protects from overheating. Location: Both thermostats are located on front of tank, inside a black enclosure box behind the front access panel.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE Dual Float Switches – Troubleshooting: The dual float controls fill and heat circuits. Identifying a Dual Float Problem: The most common trouble conditions associated with a dual float failure are: 1. The tank fills constantly. 2. The tank heat will not come on. Inspect the Dual Float: 1.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Adjustment 1. Turn the main water supply to machine off. 2. Flip the power toggle switch to OFF. 3. Turn off main incoming power. 4. Loosen the locknut on the adjusting screw in the top of the PRV . 5.

COMPONENT REPLACEMENT COMPONENT REPLACEMENT (CONT.) Parker Solenoid Valves These valves have a plunger and diaphragm in seperate enclosures. The diaphragm is between the body and the bonnet. Be careful not to damage the machined faces while the valve is apart. The electrical data for the valve will be found on the coil housing.
Page 35
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT (CONT.) Asco Solenoid Valves All solenoid operators and valves should be cleaned periodically. The time between the cleanings will vary on the water conditions and the amount of usage. In general, if the voltage to solednoid is correct, sluggish valve operations, excessive noise or leakage will indicate that cleaning is required.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT COMPONENT REPLACEMENT (CONT.) Disassembly/Reassembly of Asco Valve (cont.) 12. Position lip seal, flanged end outward, onto piston assembly. Install piston assembly with lip seal into support in valve body cavity. 13. Replace piston spring, valve bonnet, and bonnet screws. Torque bonnet screws in a crisscross manner to 144 ±...
Water Line Strainer A 1” line strainer is shipped with the PP-28. The line strainer is installed on the incoming water supply line before the machine. The line strainer has a removable screen that should be cleaned at least once a year depending on your water conditions, in some instances it may be as often as every there months.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT COMPONENT REPLACEMENT (CONT.) Wash Tank Heater and High Limit Thermostat The wash tank heater is mounted on the side wall in the bottom of the tank. It maintains the wash tank temperature at a minimum of 160˚F/70˚C. The heater is protected from a low water condition by a surface mounted high limit switch.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT (CONT.) Booster Tank Heater and High Limit Thermostat The booster assembly is mounted either to the side on the base or externally from the machine. It raises the incoming water temperature to a minimum of 180˚F/82˚C for the final rinse cycle. The heater is protected from a low water condition by a surfcae mounted high limit thermostat Check the high limit thermostat before replacing a suspected heater: 1.
