Dispenser Circuit
This test will check the wiring to the dispenser and the dispenser
solenoid itself. The following items are part of the dispenser
circuit:
n
Harness/Connection
n
Dispenser Solenoid
n
Control Board
Test Procedure
1.
Check for obstructions or mechanical binding preventing the
dispenser lid from opening. Repair or replace 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 Dispenser. Go to step 3.
3.
Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
4.
Remove outer door panel to access dispenser and remove
toe and outer door panels to access control board.
5.
Unplug connector P12 from control board.
Strip Circuit -Dispenser
6.
Check the dispenser solenoid and harness-using an
ohmmeter, measure the resistance between P12-5 and
P12-7.
Solenoid:
¾
If the resistance is between 310-380 ohms, the solenoid
valve and harness are good. Go to step 7.
¾
If outside the range, replace the dispenser solenoid.
¾
If an open circuit is detected, check connections and
harness continuity between control and dispenser. If
good, replace the dispenser solenoid.
7.
Reconnect P12 to control board.
8.
Set voltmeter to AC and connect leads to test-pads P12-5 and
P12-7 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 P12-5 to
P12-7 (Refer to the Dispenser Strip Circuit below).
IMPORTANT:
The Dispenser Solenoid 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 dispenser motor/solenoid is
energized, go to step 10.
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.
