6.3.9 Replacing the Basket Lift Motor and Related Components 1. Disconnect the unit from the electrical power supply and dismount the basket lift arm. Attach a pair of Vise Grip™ pliers (or a similar locking device) to the basket lift rod where it protrudes from the cabinet to prevent it from sliping back down into the cabinet when the basket lift link is disconnected from the bellcrank. 2. Remove the lower basket lift access panel. 3. Mark and disconnect the wires attached to the microswitch.
6.4 Troubleshooting 6.4.1 How the Autofill System Works The heart of the automatic filling (AutoFill) system is a normally closed solenoid valve that opens when 24VAC is applied. When the controller is turned on, it checks to see if the upper water level sensor is grounded by contact with water in the cookpot. If it is not, circuitry in the controller forms a ground for the 24VAC supplied to the solenoid, allowing the valve to open.
The contactor block is the terminal block to which the element leads are connected and where actual contact is made between the leads and the line voltage. Built into the contactor block is a coil (electronic switch) that closes when a ground for the 24VAC from the transformer is supplied by the controller calling for heat. When it closes, contact is made between the incoming line voltage and the element leads. The element is a resistive heating device.
Technician Troubleshooting Guides (Continued) If the basket lift motor is activating, but the basket lift fails to raise or lower, or if its movement is erratic, the probable cause is jamming or binding of the basket lift rod. Apply a light-weight white grease (such as LubriplateTM ) to the rod. If this does not correct the problem, check for a bent or otherwise damaged rod and link, and for a loose bellcrank. TROUBLESHOOTING THE BASKET LIFT Is 3-Amp fuse in the component box OK? No Replace fuse.
Technician Troubleshooting Guides (Continued) TROUBLESHOOTING THE CONTROLLER Are the fuses in the component box OK? No Replace fuse. Yes Is 24VAC present at pin 1? Is 24VAC present on transformer secondary? No No Replace transformer. Yes Controller is OK. Yes Is 24VAC present at pin 4 when off and zero VAC when calling for heat? No Yes Is 24VAC present at pin 6 when not filling and is pin 6 grounded when filling? No Replace controller.
Technician Troubleshooting Guides (Continued) Before performing the following checks, disconnect the unit from the electrical power source and check all wiring connections involved to ensure they are secure. Each of the following checks is to be performed with the unit connected to the electrical power supply, with the controller on and calling for heat, and with enough water in the cookpot to cover the lower water level sensor.
