Symptom Possible Cause Solution
Strong Ammonia smell coming
from bubbler (#22).
Water make up closed or restricted.
Make sure the fresh water supply to the bubbler is not turned off or being restricted.
Check the operation of the water makeup solenoid. Verify that the coil is energized
when the vent cycle is active. The magnetic eld can be veried with a small
screwdriver touching the top of the solenoid tube. It should be drawn to the tube if the
coil is powered and functioning properly. If the coil functions and water still does not
ow to the bubbler, check the supply lines for obstructions.
Use ltered/soft water.
Replace the water solenoid, #19 in the exploded view, if necessary.
Leaking vent solenoid.
If bubbles are seen in the bubbler well after a vent has occurred, the vent solenoid
may be leaking.
Replace the solenoid if necessary.
