Factory Test Mode Factory test mode is the most accurate way to test the turbidity sensor circuit (circuit contains control module, wiring, and turbidity sensor). Factory test mode will test the thermistor (used for Automatic Temperature Control) that is contained in the turbidity sensor and will test the transmitter that is contained in the turbidity sensor. Entering Factory Test Mode module will beep continuously and the Lock LED will be illuminated.
Washability Complaints Hot Water – Ample supply of water at a minimum temperature of 120 °F is necessary. Do not use dishwasher soon after using clothes washer or filling bath tub.
