The valves are physically and electrically mounted in series to ensure that if one
valve should fail (e.g., due to blockage caused by a foreign object) the water flow will
still be switched off by the other valve.
Figure 4-6:
WaterProof System Connection
The water inlet system is protected by the WaterProof System (WPS), which uses an
outer sleeve to protect the water inlet hose and valves.
If a valve or the hose should leak, the leaking water will flow along the outer sleeve
to the drip pan in the bottom of the appliance. When a certain amount of water
collects in the drip pan, the float switch (B8/3) is actuated (see Figure 4-8).
With the float switch actuated, power that is normally distributed throughout the
appliance is re-directed to the drain pump. The drain pump will continuously operate
when the appliance is turned on and the door is closed. Normal operation and
program selection are not possible during this time.
Warning!
If the WPS is replaced, always ensure that the correct flow restrictor is installed.
The WaterProof system only operates with the door closed and the dishwasher
switched on.
To ensure optimal protection, the water connection should be at least 8 inches
(20cm) higher than the floor on which the dishwasher is standing.
The connection hose must be routed so that no point is higher than the
connection housing.
For further details, refer to the model-specific operating or installation manual.
