TESTING
For Service Technician Use Only
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Only authorized technicians should perform
diagnostic voltage measurements.
After performing voltage measurements,
disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.
Lower Spray Arm Motor
This test will check the wiring to the spray arm motor and the
spray arm motor itself. The following items are part of the
lower spray arm motor circuit.
n Harness/Connecon
n Lower Spray Arm Motor
n Control Board
Test Procedure
1. Check for and remove anything blocking the lower spray
arm (utensils, pot handles, etc). Verify that the lters are
installed properly and not impeding spray arm rotaon.
Also, check for clogged spray nozzles and clean as needed.
2. Perform the Service Diagnosc Cycle to check the
operaon of the lower spray arm motor. The lower spray
arm motor should be energized during Intervals 13, 12,
and 11. The following steps assume that this step was
unsuccessful.
NOTE: If present, the CLEAN LED will turn on during the
intervals listed above if the spray arm motor is working. A
faulty lower spray arm motor will generate an error code
F9E4.
Strip Circuit – Lower Spray Arm Motor
3. Are all the loads controlled by TRIACs not working?
¾ YES – check for open door switch, TRIAC fuse, or pilot relay.
¾ NO – just the spray arm motor. Go to step 4.
4. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
5. Remove toe and access panels to access control board.
6. Unplug connector P8 from control board.
7. Check the spray arm motor—using an ohmmeter, verify
the resistance values as shown below.
Motor Harness Windings (ohms)
P8, Pins 3 & 1 (CW) 1890-2310 ohms
P8, Pins 3 & 6 (CCW) 1890-2310 ohms
¾ If the values are within the ranges listed, the spray arm
motor and harness are good. Go to step 8.
¾ If outside the range or inconsistent from winding to
winding, replace the spray arm motor (diverter assembly).
¾ If an open circuit is detected, check connecons and
harness connuity between control and spray arm motor.
If good, replace the spray arm motor (diverter assembly).
8. Reconnect P8 to control board.
9. Set voltmeter to AC and connect leads to P8-1 & P8-3 on
the control board. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power.
10. Start the Diagnosc Cycle and during intervals 13, 12, and
11 check for AC out of the control between P8-1 & P8-3
(CW motor winding). NOTE: In this applicaon, only the
CW motor winding is used.
IMPORTANT: The Lower Spray Arm Motor must be connected
to the control board to measure voltage accurately!!!
¾ If 120 VAC is measured during CW rotaon, go to step
11.
¾ If no AC voltage is measured, replace the control board
and retest.
11. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
12. Reassemble all parts and panels.
13. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power and run Diagnosc
Cycle to verify repair.
