This document serves as a Technical Service Guide for the Midea WQP6-3209 Compact Dishwasher, a 6-setting model designed for efficient dishwashing. It provides comprehensive information for individuals with adequate electrical, electronic, and mechanical experience to safely and effectively service the appliance.
The Midea WQP6-3209 is a compact electrical dishwasher featuring three distinct washing cycles to cater to various cleaning needs. Its primary function is to automatically wash and clean dishes, offering a convenient and effective solution for household dishwashing. The dishwasher incorporates electronic controls, making operation straightforward and user-friendly. It is designed to accommodate up to six place settings, making it suitable for smaller households or as a secondary dishwasher. The appliance's compact dimensions allow for flexible placement within a kitchen, with a recommendation to position it where water hose connections are easily accessible.
At the heart of the dishwasher's operation is the Main control board, which governs all electrical elements. This board is housed within a protective box at the bottom of the dishwasher and is designed for easy replacement should it malfunction. The control board receives signals from various sensors and switches to manage the washing cycles, water intake, heating, and draining processes.
Water intake is regulated by the Inlet valve, which is controlled by the main control board based on signals from the Flowmeter. The flowmeter monitors and measures the rate of water flow into the dishwasher, ensuring the correct amount of water is supplied for each cycle. Once water fills the basin, the Pressure switch detects the air pressure increase in its hose. When the pressure reaches a predetermined value, the switch signals the main control board, which then initiates the drain pump.
The dishwasher's cleaning action is facilitated by a Sprayer system, which distributes water and detergent throughout the wash chamber. Detergent and rinse aid are dispensed automatically by the Dispenser at appropriate times during the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice: first, to release detergent, and second, to release rinse aid. A Magnetic sensor within the dispenser is linked to the rinse aid warning light on the control panel, indicating when a refill is needed.
Heating elements, specifically the Heater elements assembly, are responsible for heating the water to the required temperature for effective cleaning. A Thermal resistor monitors the water temperature, providing feedback to the main control board to maintain optimal heating. The Drain pump assembly is crucial for removing wastewater from the dishwasher after each wash phase. The Motor pump assembly drives the water circulation during the wash cycles.
For areas with hard water, the dishwasher may include a Water softener to improve washing performance by conditioning the water. The Floater assembly and its associated Microswitch (floater assembly) act as a safety mechanism, detecting excessive water levels and preventing overflows.
The Door Handle Assembly and its integrated Microswitch (door handle assembly) play a critical role in the dishwasher's operation. This microswitch connects a forceful electric power to all loads of the dishwasher in series. When the microswitch closes, the dishwasher machine is stopped, ensuring safety by preventing operation when the door is open.
The WQP6-3209 dishwasher is designed for ease of use, with a straightforward control panel.
The dishwasher's interior is designed for practical use, featuring a cutlery basket and a main basket to organize dishes and utensils. A Filter System is integrated to trap food particles, preventing them from recirculating and ensuring cleaner dishes.
