Sump

The sump is a reservoir used by the wash pump to collect 
water before spraying it onto the dishes.  The sump on this 
dishwasher has ports for the wash pump, the drain pump, 
the fill hose from the air gap and the pressure tube to the 
over flow pressure switch.  The sump is mounted under 
the tub with a gasket to seal it to the tub and is locked in 
place with a locking ring from inside the tub.  This locking 
ring turns counterclockwise to unlock the sump.

Delivery tube

The delivery tube supplies water to the center spray arm 
in the wash and rinse cycles. The deliver tube consists of 
two tubes; one from the wash pump up the outside back 
wall of the tub, the second mounted to the upper rack. 
The section from the wash pump is secured at the top 
by a locking nut on the inside of the tub. The tube has a 
gasket at the end on the outside of the tub to form a water 
seal.  The second tube that  is mounted to the upper rack 
snaps in place to the under side of the rack so it moves in 
and out with the rack. This tube has the center spray arm 
mounted to it. .  

Door hinge and Door Springs

The two door hinges are in one assembly. This assembly 
is attached to the frame by two hinge pins and locked in 
place with two lock washers. The inner door panel mounts 
to the hinge assembly with 2 screws on each side of the 
assembly. The door springs then mount vertically from 
the hinge arms to locator pins, one on each side of the 
tub.  These pins pass through the side frame and allow for 
adjustment of the springs. If the door needs more tension, 
the locator pin is pulled out and raised to a higher hole 
location. If the tension is too great, it can be lowered. To 
make spring adjustments, the dishwasher will have to be 
pulled forward to access the pins.

Door seal

The door seal seals the area between the tub and the inner 
door panel to prevent water leaks. The door seal around 
the tub is all one piece and presses into a channel formed 
around the inside of the tub. This seal is not glued to the 
tub but is just pressed into the channel. When installing 
this seal you will find there is an inside and an outside to 
the seal. You must start by checking the ends of the seal. 
There is a shaved edge, 6 inches up on both ends. This is 
the inside of the seal. Once the inside and out side have 
been determined, fold the gasket to find the center then 
press the seal in to the channel, starting at the top in front 
of the strike.  Next go to the bottom. Have the bottom of 
the seal touch the tub bottom on both sides and press the 
seal in to the channel in one spot. From there go to the 
top corner and press the seal in at that location, repeating 
the same for the opposite side. Complete the installation 
by forming the gasket into the channel the rest of the way 
up both sides. Close the door to seat the seal. There is a 
bottom door seal mounted to the base of the inner door 
panel and this seal is non replaceable. If it comes loose 
or is pulled away from the panel, the inner door panel will 
need to be replaced.

Tub rollers 

The rollers for the upper rack glides are on mounts with 
two rollers each. There are two sets on each side of the 
tub.  

There are two screws per roller set and for 
added strength on the outside of the tub 
these screws pass through the frame of the 
unit. The roller sets each have o-rings on the 
inside of the tub for water seals. To replace 
the tub rollers the dishwasher will need to be 
removed from under the counter top.
