If the door lock and interlock are
not functioning properly, call a

arise, contact the factory immediately.
Environmental Conditions
•
Ambient Temperature . Water in the
machine will freeze at temperatures of 32°
F or below.
Temperatures above 120° F (50° C) will
result in more frequent motor overheating
and, in some cases, malfunction or
premature damage to solid state devices
that are used in some models. Special
cooling devices may be necessary.
Water pressure switches are affected by
increases and decreases in temperature.
Every 25° F (10° C) change in temperature
will have a 1% effect on the water level.
NEVER insert hands or objects into basket
until it has completely stopped. Doing so
could result in serious injury.
