INTRODUCTION This service manual is designed to provide you with a basic knowledge of the operation of your Kenmore Dishwasher. It was not designed to cover a specific model, but covers, in detail, the repa!r of most components used on any model.
A. WATER, DETERGENT AND THE AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER Water Water is a primary ingredient in determining automatic dishwashing result5 The minerafs in water, when in sufficient quantity, wilt cause spotting, filming and the possible discoloration of some metals.
Sudsing - You are familiar with the mountains of suds that result from using the wrong detergent in an automatic washer A similar problem in an automatic dishwasher can be caused by using improper detergents, using solid jet dry.

Thermostats and Temperature Indicators A Sam-Wash or High Temperature Wash/Rin.se Thermostat Most dishwashers are equipped with a thermostat to provide for guaranteed hot water in the 2nd Wash and/or Final Rinse when a Sani-Wash or high temperature wash is selected.
If the second wash or 'final rinse phase is prolonged for an excessive amount of time, causing the water to become hotter than necessary: 1. Check for too high calibration,, (Follow same procedur.
Since the thermostats are subjected to varying conditions within the home, it is extremely important that they be secured firmly against the door or tub of the dishwasher in order to accurately sense the internal temperature TEMPERATURE SENSfNG SURFACE-:':: .

Voltage Checks CA U TION When making voltage checks, remember that the machine is connected to a live power source Use extreme caution to not physically touch any bare contacts or wiring terminals when making voltage checks.. When all the previous steps for normal operation have been checked and the machine stitl does not tilt.
To determine if the timer is defective, attach the voltmeter lead to point #3 shown in Figure "/! leaving the other voltmeter lead attached to the white or common terminal, 120 Volts AC present at this point indicates that the timer is not defective.
