Service and Disassembly Procedures

!WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit and discharge capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before attempting to service, unless test procedures require power to be connected. Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.

Heating Element

The purpose of the Heating Element is to provide heat during the dry cycle and increase water temperature during portions of the wash cycle when certain options are selected.

The element is dual wattage. During wash cycles, it is rated at 830 watts. During the dry portion of the cycle, it is rated at 650 watts. Increased wattage is possible because of water flowing across the element sheath.
