Fill Circuit
This test will check the wiring and components in the fill circuit.
The following items are part of the fill circuit:
n
Harness/Connection
n
Fill Valve
n
Control Board
Test Procedure
1.
Verify water supply is turned on and supply line is adequate.
Check for water siphoning out of the dishwasher (drain loop
or improper drain connection). Check for debris in water
line or fill valve inlet screen. Check for proper float switch
operation. Repair as necessary.
2.
Are all the loads controlled by TRIAC not working?
¾
YES - check for open door switch, TRIAC fuse, or pilot
relay.
¾
NO - just the Fill Valve. Go to step 3.
3.
Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
4.
Remove toe and outer door panels to access control board.
5.
Unplug connector P6 from control board.
Strip Circuit - Fill Valve
6.
Check the fill valve and harness-using an ohmmeter, measure
the resistance between P6-1 and P6-3.
¾
If the resistance is between 1200-1600 ohms, the fill valve
and harness are good. Go to step 7.
¾
If outside the range, replace the fill valve.
¾
If an open circuit is detected, check connections and
harness continuity between control and fill valve. If good,
replace the fill valve.
7.
Reconnect P6 to control board.
8.
Set voltmeter to AC and connect leads to test-pads
P6-1 and P6-3 on the control board. Plug in dishwasher or
reconnect power.
9.
Start the Diagnostics Cycle and at the proper interval
measure for AC out of the control board between test-pads
P6- 1 and P6-3 (Refer to the Fill Valve Strip Circuit below).
IMPORTANT:
The Fill Valve must be connected to the control
board to measure voltage accurately.
¾
If no AC voltage is measured, replace the control board
and retest.
¾
If 120 VAC is measured and fill valve is energized, go to
step 12.
10.
Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
11.
Reassemble all parts and panels.
12.
Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power and run Diagnostics
Cycle to verify repair.
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Only authorized technicians should perform
diagnostic voltage measurements.
After performing voltage measurements,
disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.
