COMPONENTS IV. COMPONENTS IVA. Dishwasher components Tank The tank, made of 304 stainless steel, is n’t available as a service part. Heater Operation Dishwashers use flow-through heaters in stead of exposed elements, saving space and allowing taller tanks holding larger dinner plates . Flow-through heaters prevent dishware damage from exposed ele[...]

COMPONENTS Leveling feet (front and rear) The base is supported by three leveling fe et, two front and one rear. The rear leveling foot is adjusted from the front. Front feet have provisions for set screws (in installation parts bag). Water switch Motor operated water switches are m ounted underneath heater assemblies. They consist of a motor-contr[...]

COMPONENTS Circulation pumps, heaters & sumps for wate r switch / non-water switch models can’t be interchanged. Circulation pumps Bosch dishwashers use separate circulat ion and drain pumps to reduce overall size, noise, vibration and energy consumption. This allows the use of tall tanks, increasing overall space inside dishwas hers where fu[...]

COMPONENTS Drain pump Drain pumps are mounted to sumps in the front of dishwashers -- they’re easily accessible from the fr ont of dishwashers by removing toe kicks. Pump specifications Drain pump is rated 120V, 60 Hz, 35W, 0.85A. Solving installation issues Often improper installations, not drain pump issues, caus e dishwashers to not drain prop[...]

COMPONENTS Siphoning Siphoning may occur in any type of drain pump when low water flow allows a siphon (suction) to develop, pulling wast e water back into the pump. Sump check valves along with air gaps/high lo ops prevent siphons from being created. Terminal connections (Rast 5 connectors) Rast 5 terminal connectors provide more positive connecti[...]

COMPONENTS 702_58300000149896_ ara_en_b Time-fill water valves look like pressure-f ill v alves, but have tight part tolerances to insure consistent water levels. Ti me-fill valves can replace pressure-fill valves, but pressure-fill valves can’t replace time-fill valves. Flowmeter Dishwashers use a flowmeter to provide more accurate water filling[...]

COMPONENTS 702_58300000149896_ ara_en_b Condensation tube The condensation tube is crucial for c ondensation drying, which dries dishes without a heating element in the bottom of the tank. Condensation tubes exit the dishwasher at the right side of the tank. Condensation tubes exit in t he rear of dishwasher base s, allowing water v apor to evapora[...]

COMPONENTS 618605 sliding hinge pulley kit consists of (2) sliding pulleys and (2) cords. Hinge bushing Hinge bushings hold doors in place (a t hinges), using latches instead of separate locks.

COMPONENTS On/off switch The on/off switch turns the dishwasher on and off and is crucial in resetting controls. Contacts 5 & 6 reset the contro l. Whenever a control won’t reset or won’t go into wash programs, check the on/off switch and jumper. Replace s witch and jumper if they’re faulty. Door latch Other than occasional misalignment, [...]

COMPONENTS Drain hose Dishwashers use a two-hose (internal / external) drain hose system. A customer (external) drain hose (during inst allation) is connected to the internal drain hose, with the 90 º elbow pointing toward the customer drain. The e xternal drain hose connects directly to the cu stomer drain system without an adapter. Dispenser The[...]

COMPONENTS Optical rinse-aid sensors Optical rinse-aid sensors determine if ri nse-aid is present using a light beam and sensor. With rinse-aid present, the optical receiver senses a diffused light beam. When rinse-aid has run out, the optical receiver senses a strong light beam. TIP : It’s possible for some clear rinse-aid brands to not diffuse [...]

COMPONENTS Aqua sensor The aqua sensor is located behind the sump, to the left of t he heater. It’s a two- piece assembly, with a small circuit board in a plastic housing). It senses water cleanliness and allows the dishwasher co ntrol to remove pre-wash and/ or pre- rinse cycles to save energy (~ 20% energy savings). . If water is clean enough, [...]

COMPONENTS Sump parts Sump The sump contains a filter screen, large item (coarse) filt er and micro filter. The sump holds the drain pump cover and check valve. Backflow (check) valve The backflow (check) valve is located in the bottom of the sump near the circulation pump inlet. It prevents waste water from entering the sump. The valve material is[...]

COMPONENTS Spray arm feed tube When water doesn’t spray from upper spra y arms, check feed tube where it enters the sump. Occasionally, the jo int between the feed tube and its base can loosen -- the entire f eed tube must be replaced. Info lights Info lights shine a blue light onto floors, letting customers know their quiet dishwashers are runni[...]

COMPONENTS Operation Water circulation The circulation pump pumps water from t he sump through a triple filter system to the heater. When water enters the heater, a flow s witch determines water is present and allows the heater to be activated. As water flows, it’s heated until it reaches the pre-set temperature determined by the cycle. Once it l[...]

COMPONENTS Serial label (warranty information) The serial label, located on the right side of the inner door, contains the dishwasher model, serial and index (KI) #’s. Understanding the 17-digit serial # This is detailed serial # is used by the fa ctory for analysis of returned units. It’s located in the bottom right corner of the label. For ex[...]
