High Drain Loop/Air Gap

A high drain loop/air gap is necessary with the new 
water distribution system. Without a high drain loop 
/air gap, the dishwasher will drain during the wash 
cycle due to a small amount of pump pressure in 
the extra fi ne fi lter. 

Main Motor

The pump motor on models with the new water 
distribution system starts and stops during the 
wash cycle. The pump motor stops to allow the 
drain valve to fully open at the end of a drain cycle.
