Dispense Valve (PC & H3 Element Only)
Location:
The Dispense Valve is located behind control panel.
Test Procedures:
1. Check the valve for coil action. Turn on the valve with
the dispense button. Listen carefully in the vicinity
of the dispense valve for a click as the coil pulls the
plunger in.
If no sound is heard as described, proceed to #2.
If the sound is heard as described, there may be a
blockage in the valve. Disconnect the dispenser from
the power source. Remove the valve and inspect for
blockage, and de-lime all related areas.
2. Connect voltmeter leads to the coil terminals. Turn
on the valve with the dispense button. Set the meter
to AC volts. The indication should be line voltage
when activated.
If voltage is present as described, but no coil action
is observed, valve is defective. Replace valve and test
again to verify repair.
If voltage is not present as described, refer to Wiring
Diagrams and check the dispenser wiring harness. Also
check the control board for proper operation.
