TIMER DIAL

Introduction

When a customer selects a certain cycle on the dishwasher, the customer turns the timer dial to that

position and pushes the corresponding push-button switch to start the dishwasher. If the customer

does not push the corresponding push-button switch to the position to which the timer dial has been

turned, the dishwasher will not complete the cycle to customer expectations or start. For example, if

the customer selects pots and pans wash on the timer dial, and selects the normal wash push-button

switch, the dishwasher will not start.

Interval Numbers

The interval numbers on the timer sequence chart correspond to a position on the timer dial. There-

fore, if a customer tells you that the machine will not fill when the pots and pans cycle is selected, you

can refer to that particular interval on the timer sequence chart to determine the positions of the

switches at that particular interval. The key is to be able to determine what position on the timer dial

corresponds to a particular interval on the timer sequence chart. In orderto do this, think of the timer

dial as a circle with equally spaced increments representing each of the intervals on the timer se-

quence chart. In this particular model, the timer dial would have 53 increments because there are 53

intervals on the timer sequence chart. On the timer dial there are eight different markings: Off, Delay

Hours, Heavy Wash (Pots and Pans), Normal Wash, Light Wash, Rinse and Hold, Air Dry, Rinse and

Dry. The events on the timer sequence chart and the corresponding intervals can be matched with the

settings on the timer dial.

The last interval is always the OFF position on the timer dial. There are four different wash cycles. The

first wash (which starts at interval 10 on the timer sequence chart) corresponds to the heavy wash/

pots and pans indicator on the timer dial. Notice that although there is one position on the timer dial for

both heavy wash/pots and pans, there are two separate push-button switches. This would indicate

that although they both start at the same interval on the timer sequence chart, there is some differ-

ence during the cycle. Therefore, if the customer said the machine would not fill when set to the heavy

wash/pots and pans position, to begin troubleshooting you would look at interval 10 on the timer se-

quence chart to determine which switches are closed when the timer dial is in that particular setting.
