1-6 16021814 Rev. 0 ©2002 Maytag Appliance Sales Company WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing. Electronic control is energized at all times until power is disconnected. Capacitors on control may remain active after electrical power is disconnected. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, fire, or electrical shock. ADVERTENCIA: Desconecte la energí antes de darle servicio. El control electrónico está energizado todo el tiempo hasta que se desconecta la energía.
Section 2. Electrical Equipment & Testing Electrical Test Equipment The equipment required to service these models depends largely upon the condition encountered. Locating a malfunction will often require the use of electrical testing equipment such as: Appliance Test Meter Clamp-On Ammeter Motor Test Cord Digital Test Meter can be used to check for open or closed circuits, measure resistance, AC and DC volts, and temperature.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT & TESTING VOLTAGE CHECKS Use of Ammeter on dishwasher: Generally, these checks will consist of taking readings at the wall receptacle in order to determine the availability of voltage to the product. Voltage checks on individual components of a product are not recommended due to the possibility of electrical shock. Component part testing is best accomplished through continuity checks with an Appliance Test Meter. 1.
Electrical Equipment & Testing for protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded and polarized receptacle. It is the responsibility of the person installing the appliance to assure it is adequately grounded and polarized at the point of installation, taking into consideration local conditions and requirements.
Electrical Equipment & Testing Wax Motor Check- Vent A single continuous duty wax motor is used to operate the vent. ! WARNING To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical shock: • Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing. • Always plug test cord into a properly grounded receptacle. • Always make connection to components before plugging test cord into receptacle. Connect a Power Test Cord across the two terminals of the Wax Motor.

WARNING: Installer: Please leave this manual with this appliance. Check with the installer to make sure the appliance has been properly grounded to avoid possible electrical shock. Be sure you read the Important Personal Safety Instructions before you use this dishwasher. Consumer: Please read and keep this manual for future reference. Keep sales receipt and/or cancelled check as proof of purchase.
L OADING BEFORE YOU START • Don’t prerinse. Simply scrape off any bones or large food particles. • If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher. • Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 8). • Remove certain foods (such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings) from stainless steel flatware as soon as possible.
L OADING CONT. ADJUSTABLE UPPER RACK (Select models) TO LOWER THE RACK: • Pull the rack fully out. • Place hands on each adjuster. • Press down on the top blue button and push down (the button will slide towards the center of the rack). • The rack will come to a stop when it is in position. The Adjustable Upper Rack (select models) can be raised or lowered to accommodate taller plates, platters, pans, etc. in the upper or lower racks.
REMOVABLE UTENSIL BASKET (Design varies by model) For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together by placing some items in the basket with handles up and some with handles down. Load knives, handles up and spoons and forks handles down, through the slots in the hinged covered section(s) (when closed). Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through the basket. This could block the lower wash arm.
D ESSENTIALS ISHWASHING HOT WATER For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be 120–140° F (49-60° C) to properly activate the detergent and melt greasy food soils. DETERGENT Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Be sure it is fresh and stored in a cool, dry place (not under the sink). RECOMMENDED AMOUNT Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water filming/spotting and poor drying.
C ONTROLS AT A GLANCE CYCLES AND WATER USAGE NORMAL WASH Medium cycle for average food soils. The soil sensor is active with this cycle. Depending on the number of fills, water usage ranges from 3 to 6 gallons. HEAVY WASH Long cycle for heavy food soils. 8 gallons. OPTIONS TOUGH SCRUB™ OR TOUGH SCRUB™ PLUS (select models) Select this option (select models) when washing loads with hard-to-remove food soils. Tough Scrub™ orTough Scrub Plus™ can be selected with any cycle (except Rinse Only).
C ONTROLS AT A GLANCE CONT. DELAY The Delay option can be used to automatically start the cycle at a later time to reduce daytime heat buildup in the home or to take advantage of reduced energy costs if available in your area. 4. As soon as the START/Cancel pad is pressed, the flashing will stop and the delay time will begin counting down. The Delay indicator will remain lit until the delay time has counted down. 5. The cycle will automatically start as soon as the delay time expires.
S PECIAL CARE ITEMS Most tableware, cookware and flatware can safely be washed in your dishwasher. Check with the manufacturer. Material Dishwasher Safe? Special Informatiion Aluminum Yes, except anodized. High water temperature and detergents may affect finish. Cast Iron No Seasoning will be removed, and iron will rust. China/ Stoneware No, if antique or handpainted. Always check manufacturer’s recommendation before washing. Antique, hand-painted or over-the-glaze patterns may fade.
B EFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY. Dishwasher Will Not Fill: • • • • • • • • Press the START/Cancel pad to start the dishwasher. Be sure door is latched securely. Be sure the water is turned on. Check that the pad is properly selected for a cycle. Allow time to pause before filling. Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box. Check inlet hose for a kink. Check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary.
Indicator Lights Flashing: • • • • • The countdown display (select models) flashes after a cycle is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed. The countdown display (select models) and the delay indicator flash after a delay is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed. All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running cycle or delay. The currently selected cycle flashes if the consumer attempts to change the cycle after cycle “lock-in”.
