Fill Time Menu - GE ZBD5900 Technical Service Manual

4.3 FILL TIME MENU

This section deals specifically with diagnosis of the fill menu
for electronic 8 button models and for the rotary model. For
self diagnosis, where the relay/triac output test permits
outboard components to be energized and tested accord-
ingly, refer to: Section 4.2 - Electronic 8 Button Model 5700 &
5900 - Self Diagnosis, to carry out an individually controlled
test mode of each outboard component.
Also refer to the Owner's Manual for water fill level and wash
program data.
The 5700 & 5900 models have a total of five fill time
selections which can be accessed. The fill time mode allows
a water level to enter the tub which can be compared to the
"MAX" & "MIN" level markings on the lower spray arm
support as shown below.
MAX
MIN
The special purpose water inlet solenoid valve is rated for a
nominal delivery of 1.25 US gallons per 60 seconds fill time.
The dishwasher is designed for a nominal water fill of 1.17 to
1.95 US gallons per fill cycle. The dishwasher has a factory
default fill time of 80 seconds to a maximum fill time of 110
seconds.
A fill time selection of 75 seconds is also available to reduce
the fill time from the default 80 seconds. A fill time of 75
seconds can be used for instances where extremely high
water pressure is applied to the water solenoid valve.
For the 5700 & 5900 models (8 button), each progress
indicator LED is individually illuminated to designate a fill
time in seconds; (e.g. the " pre-wash " progress indicator
represents 75 seconds). The fill time corresponding to each
of the 5 progress indicators is as follows:
Progress Indicator
Illuminated
Pre-Wash
Wash
Rinse
Dry
Clean
Time in seconds
75
80 (Factory default all models)

100

4.3.1 Fill Time Menu - 5700 & 5900 Models
4.3.1.1 To check the water level: Run the dishwasher
through a complete Rinse Only cycle to ensure it is emptying
and filling correctly. The water level must only be checked
on the Rinse and Hold cycle.
If connecting to low water pressure, select the Rinse and
Hold cycle again. After the dishwasher has filled, pause the
dishwasher and check the water level inside. If the water
level is not between the "MAX" & "MIN" indicators, then the fill
time will need to be adjusted.
4.3.1.2 To access the fill time menu: Close the dish-
washer door. Clear the Rinse Only cycle and ensure the
dishwasher is not running. Switch the dishwasher power
supply off and then on again to clear any preset information.
Press and hold the Water Temp button for ten (10) seconds
until the buzzer sounds, then release the Water Temp button.
A progress indicator will illuminate indicating fill time se-
lected.
4.3.1.3 To select the fill time: Press the Clear button to
select a fill time as per the table in section 4.3 above (80
seconds is the usual factory setting).
4.3.1.4 To check fill level selected: Press the Delay Start
button. The dishwasher will drain and then start filling.
Listen for the dishwasher to complete filling. Once filled, the
fill level must be checked to ensure fill time is correct (i.e. the
water level is between "MAX" & "MIN" marks).
4.3.1.5 To re-select fill time: If the water level is not
between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks, re-select the fill time as
in section 4.3 above accordingly:
• If over the "MAX" marking - decrease the fill time
• If under the "MIN" marking - increase the fill time
