Using Test Programs to Measure Heater/NTC Resistances
Using Test Programs to Measure Heater/NTC Resistances
HINT: Because the flow
switch only closes when
water is flowing, the heater
resistance can only be
measured at the heater
terminals (not at the control
module).
HINT: The NTC and
High Limit are contained
in the same part. When
either fails, replace
entire part # 165281.
NOTE: Open door to run
test program for fully-
integrated models.
Use dishwasher test program to fire up heater, then measure
dishwasher incoming current. If ~ 1.5A, heater, Hi-Limit or flow switch
has failed. Check voltage @ module (or timer) -- if 0V, module (or
timer) has failed.
For electronic models, current can also be measured in red heater
wire
at control module (~ 9.5A). Since there can be more than one red wire,
check wiring diagram to select heater
wire.
NOTE: Flow
through heaters heat
water ~ 2ºF / minute.
