Fault Diagnostics

To check the heater, turn off the dishwasher, block up the tank and check the resistance of each part of the heater as follows.

Heater ~ 11 Ω

Hi-Limit ~ .3 Ω

Flow switch ~ .4Ω. A spring loaded plunger closes it when water is flowing, so you must remove the microswitch from the heater and close its contacts to measure the resistance.

TIP: Current can be measured through the red heater wire at the control or heater (~ 9.5A). There can be more than one red wire, so check the wiring diagram to select the heater wire.

NOTE: Open door to run test program.

Controls timing out and showing “1”

Occasionally dishwashers can run for hours, not finish washing & show a “1” in the display. This means the module has timed out due to an unidentified heating problem --all heating related parts must be checked until the problem is found.

Heating system checklist if controls time out:

Check control module heater relay & solder joints.

Check wire harness & terminals (to control and heater). Controls have been replaced when the problem was loose connections.

Check heater resistance (~ 11).

Check flow switch (~ 0.4). If flow switch is OK & water doesn’t flow, check circulation pump.
