Vent
The air vent for this dishwasher is located on the top left
side of the inner door panel. A vent housing inside the
console contains baffles to prevent water from splashing
out of the tub during the wash and rinse cycles. In the dry
cycle, steam laden air at the top of the tub passes out the
vent. This allows outside air to enter the tub from the right
hand side through the air gap. This air flow speeds the
water evaporation, which in turn forces more steam and
moisture out the vent. If the customer selects heated dry,
the added heat increases the steam pressure and allows
for faster drying of the load. There is a gasket around the
vent housing and the vent housing and the vent grate are
attached together with 4 mounting screws.
