  The flood switch is located under the tub at theleft front corner. The switch remains closed bythe weight of the float, supplying a circuit to thewater valve. A cover (held by a 1/4" hex screw)inside the tub protects the float from "wave

action" and debris which could affect it'soperation. The float should always be free andunrestricted, allowing it's weight to keep theswitch in a closed position. The flood switch isa safety device and does not control the amountof water in the tub! The timer or electroniccontrol regulates the amount of time the watervalve is open. If the control fails and keeps thevalve energized, the overfilling of the tub willcause the float to lift and open the circuit to thewater valve. The flood switch will not stop theflow of water if the valve sticks open from amechanical failure.

Water Valve

  All GE Profile Performance  Triton™ modeldishwashers use the quiet  water valveWD15X0096. This valve minimizes water inletnoise by reducing the water flow rate toapproximately 1.25 gallons per minute. Thestandard water valve used on GE ProfileTriton™, WD15X0093, has a flow rate ofapproximately 1.70 gallons per minute. The coilresistance is approximately 825 ohms for bothvalves. On all models, water enters the tub forabout 40 seconds before   the main motorbegins to operate, then continues to fill as themotor is running.

NOTE: The fill times vary by model and the typeof valve used. Use only the exact replacementwater valve. The wrong valve will affect theamount of water entering into the dishwasher andwash performance.

Wash System

  All Triton™ models have a 3 level wash systemutilizing a one piece venturi lower spray arm, amid-level arm attached to the upper rack and anupper spray arm attached to the top of the tub.To remove the one piece lower wash arm, inserta screwdriver into the two tabs on the wash armhub to release it.

Wash Cycle Filtering

  All Triton™ dishwashers utilize a very effectivefiltration system. The dishwasher has a coarsecover inlet where water is first drawn into thesump. Under the coarse cover inlet is the sumpcover, which has a fine screen on one side and isopen on the other. The sump cover sits on acoarse filter assembly which is held to the bottomof the tub by two push-on nuts located at the frontof the filter. Under the coarse filter assembly isthe sump filter, which is located in the sump itself.The sump filter increases filtration effectivenessby trapping food soils in the sump until the nextdrain cycle.

FILTERSCREEN

COLLECTIONCHAMBERSoil trapped behind the filter

screen settles out into thecollection chamber.

  In addition to filtering the water entering into thesump, all models have a self-cleaning filter at theback of the tub. Water spraying from the washarms enter this filter as it runs down the rear ofthe tub. As the water passes through the coarsefilter grates across the back, a fine mesh filterscreen in the middle traps food particles andprevents them from reentering the tub. The finemesh screen is automatically cleaned by aspecial spray jet on the underside of the washarm during each rotation. Soil collected on theback side of the screen will settle into thecollection chamber below, where it will bewashed away during the drain cycle.

  During a wash cycle, extremely large foodparticles or foreign objects are prevented fromentering the pump by the cover inlet. Foodparticles able to pass through the cover inlet arethen filtered by the sump cover. Particles toolarge to fit through the screen side of the sumpcover are directed into the sump through theopen side of the cover and captured by the sumpfilter until the next drain cycle. Water is alsofiltered by the coarse filter assembly in thebottom of the tub. Water and food particles smallenough to fit through this filter will enter the sumpby flowing beneath the filter in the approximately1/2" of space between the coarse filter and thebottom of the tub, then through the open side ofthe sump cover. Only those particles smallenough to pass through the screens of the filterassembly, sump cover or sump filter are allowedto recirculate into the tub.

AUXILIARY PUMP DRAIN CYCLE

MAIN PUMP DRAIN CYCLE

  At the start of the drain cycle, the drain solenoid is energized with 120 VAC for approximately 5-10seconds, lifting a spring loaded flapper (gate valve) inside the main pump. The gate valve closes off theflow of water through the spray arm and directs the water into the collection chamber. The force of thewater from the pump holds the gate valve up and the water entering the collection chamber pushesupward on a piston, closing the opening into the tub and directing water out the drain line. The waterflowing through the collection chamber picks up the soil that had previously accumulated in the chamber

during the wash and rinse cycles and flushes it out the drain. The main pump is energized for 60seconds in the drain mode, unless the cycle calls for the auxiliary pump (if applicable), in which case themain pump will operate for 24 seconds.  The check valve located in the drain line at the outlet of the collection chamber prevents waste waterfrom reentering the tub. On models with an auxiliary pump, a check valve located at the outlet of theauxiliary pump prevents drain water from entering the auxiliary pump and sump when the main pump isoperating in a drain cycle.

DRAIN SOLENOID

  The auxiliary drain pump operates on120 VAC and is energized in selectedcycles for 36 seconds after the main pumphas operated for 24 seconds and removedthe majority of water from the tub. Themain pump is turned off and the auxiliarypump removes all the remaining water,including all water from the sump area.

This allows the dishwasher to fillcompletely with clean water during thenext fill cycle. As water is forced throughthe auxiliary pump check valve, the wateris directed only into the collection chamberand out the drain line. The closed gatevalve in the main pump prevents waterfrom reentering the tub through the mainpump. The water pressure pushing up onthe piston in the collection chamberprevents water from reentering the tubfrom the collection chamber.

NOTE: The check valve flapper in the auxiliary pump is beveledon one side and marked OUT on the other. The side markedOUT should face towards the collection chamber.

NOTE: If no-drain problems occur,one possibility may be the rubbercheck valve in the auxiliary pumpmay be damaged or missing. Also, adamaged or "stuck open" piston inthe collection chamber will cause thewater to circulate through the tubrather than being forced down thedrain.

If you suspect an obstruction inthe drain hose, it is not possible toclear the hose by blowing through itwithout removing the hose from thecollection chamber. This is due tothe check valve allowing water toflow in only one direction.

  All models use the quiet, capacitor startinduction motor. This motor rotates clockwise(as viewed from the terminal end) atapproximately 3100 rpm and drawsapproximately 1.8 amps at 120 VAC. It has aresistance of 10 ohms (± 2).

NOTE: The capacitor comes with the motorand is not currently available as a separate

part.

Induction Motor

The induction motors use the new Piranha™

anti-jamming food disposer cutter blade. Thisdual-swivel impeller is made of “304 series”stainless steel.

The terminals on the induction motor arelabeled L1 and N. The motor is thermallyprotected (internally) through the L1 side. Thewiring connector is color-coded blue to matchthe blue wire leading to the motor and isdesigned to fit on the terminals only one way.Make certain that the connector is fully seatedwhen installing.

NOTE:  It is extremely important that the self- tapping grounding screw is tightened securely.

MOTOR

  It is important to remember the motor doesnot start immediately when the dishwashercycle has started. The tub will begin filling withwater and the motor will start approximately 50seconds into the fill cycle. If the motor hums,but will not start, make certain the pumpimpeller is free from obstructions and themotor shaft can turn freely. Note, on theinduction motor models, if the capacitor isopen or shorted, the motor will hum and willnot start. Check for 120 VAC at the motorterminals. Take the voltage measurementwhile "under load" (as the motor is trying tostart). This will eliminate any possibilities ofpoor wiring connections. If 120 VAC is presentand the motor will not start, the motor will haveto be replaced.

TURBIDITY SENSOR (Clean Sensor)

The turbidity sensor measures the amount ofsuspended particles in the wash water bytransmitting light through a glass tube andmeasuring the quantity of light which passes

through. As the soil level increases, theamount of transmitted light decreases. Theseturbidity measurements are supplied to thecontrol and used to determine whether anyprewash or rinse cycles can be skipped.Decisions are based on a comparison ofclean water measurements at the beginningof the first fill, measurements taken at the endof selected fills, and water temperature. Bymeasuring the turbidity level, the control canconserve energy on lightly soiled loads byskipping unnecessary cycles.

NOTE: If the turbidity sensor circuit fails openor shorted, the SENSING LED will not lightand the unit will operate for the maximum

amount of time, using the maximum numberof wash and rinse fills for the selected cycle.

Turbidity - the amount of suspended  particles in a fluid.

All turbidity sensor models have a tub thermistorused to measure sump water temperature. Abracket holds the thermistor to the bottom of thetub. The temperature of the water in the sump isestimated by adding 8o  F to the external tubtemperature. The thermistor's resistance has anegative coefficient. As the temperatureincreases, it's resistance value goes down. At aroom temperature of 77o F, the thermistor'sresistance is approximately 50K ohms. Thetemperature measurement is used to help thecontrol determine whether to skip any prewashesand start the main wash cycle.

Dishwasher Door and Tub

  All models have an "aluminum wrap" outer doorpanel. This outer panel is a one-piece unit,eliminating all exterior trim. The panel is attachedto the door hinges with six Torx T-20 screws. Theescutcheon is attached to the outer door panelwith four Phillips screws on the Profile ™ andProfile Performance™  models. All other modelsuse two screws. The wire harness runs down the

center of the outer panel, between pads ofinsulation. A replacement outer door panel canbe installed over the existing panel if excessivedamage to the old panel has not occurred. Byremoving the two bottom Torx screws, the newpanel can be slipped under the escutcheon andwrapped over the old panel.

  The door springs are side mounted. The springsare adjustable by moving the bottom spring hookto a different hole in the lower leg channel. Aheavy spring kit (GPF100) is available for customdoor panels weighing more than four pounds.The top of the spring hooks into a plastic linkwhich connects to the door hinge bracket asshown below.

The PermaTuf ®  

interior door panel contains therinse agent tank and soap dispensermechanism. All Triton™ models have a thermalmastic attached to the inner door to help reducesounds and reduce water temperature lossduring circulation.

 The active vent helps to reduce the noise level andheat loss when in the closed position. The ventuses the same type DC motor as the sequenceswitch. The electronic control supplies +/-14 VDCto the motor. The control reverses polarity to drivethe motor in a clockwise or counterclockwise

direction. Once the vent door is driven to the openor closed position, the motor stalls, drawing 125milliamps. The electronic control senses thiscurrent draw and recognizes that the proper ventposition has been reached. If you suspect aproblem, remove the leads and check for 14 VDC atthe control. The vent is closed during the washcycle and open during the drying cycle or when theunit is not in use. If the vent is closed and the dooris unlatched during the wash cycle, the vent willopen. When the door is latched again, the vent wilremain open for seven (7) seconds, then closeagain to finish the cycle.

The door components are accessed by separatingthe inner and outer door panels. This is done byremoving the seven Phillips screws from aroundthe edge of the inner door panel (note the differentthread patterns), and the one small Phillips screwfrom the underside of the latch knob. Carefullyseparate the door panels, keeping the latchmechanism with the inner door. Raise the inner

door panel and latch it to the tub to hold it in place.

IMPORTANT:When servicing, check all wiring for looseconnections at harness, connector plugs,and control pins first. Loose pins orwiring is the most likely cause for erraticoperation or non-operation of the unit! 

Door Components

Electronic Control

  There are two types of electronic controlsturbidity sensor and non-turbidity sensor. The

sensor control (WD21X10062), is used on ProfilePerformance™ models and has a vertical row ostatus display LEDs to the left of the selector padsThe non-sensor control (WD21X10061), is used onProfile™ models and has a clean LED on theStart/Reset pad. The model selection connectodetermines which dishwasher features are activatedin the control. The connector is NOT supplied witha replacement control and must be transferred fromthe old control.

  The sequence switch controls power to the120V components: the motor pump assembly,heater, drain solenoid, auxiliary pump (ifapplicable) and water valve. The switchcontains two sets of contacts, a 14 VDC drivemotor and a molded cam (or platter). The camhas molded "raises", which lift or lower themetal fingers of the contacts. The low voltageDC contacts provide feedback to the electronic

control and the 120 VAC contacts energize theindividual dishwasher components.

NOTE: Do NOT attempt to disassemble andrepair the sequence switch. If you determinethe switch to be at fault, it should be replacedand is available only as a complete assembly.

  The sequence switch's drive motor receives+14 VDC or -14 VDC from the electroniccontrol. The voltage can be measuredbetween the orange and blue wires on thewhite connector plug while the motor isrunning. It is important to note that the motordoes not continuously receive voltage from thecontrol. The electronic control will only supply+/- 14 VDC to the sequence switch motorwhen necessary to change the position of the120V contacts and operate a component orchange a cycle. The cam is able to rotate in aclockwise or counter-clockwise direction basedon the DC polarity supplied to the motor.When the cam rotates in a counter-clockwisedirection, the sequence switch will break powerto all components and de-engerize them. Thisis accomplished by a rod located under the

metal fingers which lifts the contacts off themolded cam and opens all circuits wheneverthe cam is driven in a counter-clockwisedirection.NOTE:  The sequence switch does NOT runcontinuously. The motor only drives the camwhen necessary to activate (or deactivate) acomponent or change a cycle.

  As a safety feature, when the selected cycleis completed and the switch is returned to it's"home" position, the final rotation is counter-

The cam will rotate in both directions throughsections 1 and 3. For example; In a normalwash cycle, the cam will rotate in a clockwisedirection beginning in section 1 and the unit willfill with water for prewash. About 50 secondsinto filling, the cam will rotate a little further insection 1 and the main pump will come on. Thedishwasher will begin to circulate the water

as it continues to fill. When the dishwashercompletes the prewash wash time, the switchrotates the cam further in section 1 and themain pump (and auxiliary pump if applicable)drains the water from the tub. After theprewash is complete, the cam will then rotatecounter-clockwise back to the beginning ofsection 1 and begin a second fill. When all theprewashes are complete, the cam will rotateclockwise into section 2 and trip the detergentcup. After the cup has opened, the cam willcontinue to rotate into section 3 and begin thefill for main wash.

NOTE:  It is normal operation for the detergentcup to open and dispense detergent into thetub when the main pump is off and there is nowater in the tub! 

 For information on the disassembly and repairof the detergent cup and rinse aid assemblies,refer to Technician Manual Pub. No. 31-3281.

  The sequence switch is also designed so a

counter-clockwise rotation of the cam througheither sections 2 or 4 will cause the switch tostall. This is caused by the detergent trip levercatching in the notches (or cam drops) on thebackside of the cam. Under normal conditions,the sequence switch should never rotatecounter-clockwise through these sections. Theswitch is designed to run backwards into a stallwhen the control cannot determine the switch'sposition. This insures that no load is activateduntil the dishwasher's problem is corrected. Ifthis problem ever does occur, the trip lever willbe held by the cam and you will be unable tomove it. In the following order, check thesepossibilities:

1. The electronic control received a false signaland is confused as to the switch's position.Disconnect power for a minimum of 10seconds, reconnect power and attempt to resetthe dishwasher.

2. A poor electrical connection or broken wire ispreventing the control from receiving thecorrect feedback signal. Check the wiring.

3. The sequence switch is bad and requiresreplacement.

4. The electronic control is bad and requires

replacement.  After completing the main wash and pre rinsecycles, the cam will rotate into section 4 anddispense the rinse agent. It will continue torotate clockwise into section 1 again, where thecam will activate the final rinse cycle. At theend of the dishwasher cycle, the cam will rotatecounter-clockwise a short distance in section 1,open all the contacts and de-energize allcomponents until the next time the dishwasheris operated.

  As mentioned earlier, each set of contacts onthe sequence switch control a different functionin the dishwasher. The white   connector plugcontains the low voltage DC wiring. Two wiressupply +/- 14 VDC to operate the motor. Theremaining wires use 5 VDC to provide feedbackon the position of the cam to the electroniccontrol. The molded "raises" on the cam openand close the 5 VDC contacts, enabling thecontrol to determine the cam's current position.

A black wire is connected to a terminal thatprovides a common for all 5 VDC contacts withinthe switch.  The black   connector plug contains the 120VAC circuits.

As shown in theillustration, the switchis labeled to show whateach wire is connectedto. The numberingnext to the white plugidentifies where thewires connect on theelectronic control.

Heating Element

Profile™  model dishwashers contain a 500watt and Profile Performance™ models containa 725 watt Calrodâ   heating element. Theseelements consist of a tungsten wire packed inmagnesium oxide and surrounded by a coatedstainless steel sheath. The 725 watt elementhas a resistance of approximately 19 ohms andthe 500 watt has a resistance of approximately

29 ohms. The elements can be utilized forheating the water during the wash cycle and forheating the air during the dry cycle.

Drying Cycle

  There are two methods of drying the dishwareat the end of the wash cycle; heated dry andenergy saving natural dry. Both methods utilizeconvection air flow to aid in the drying process.  As shown in the illustration, convection airflow is created by the hot dishware drawing coolroom air into the tub through the gap betweenthe tub and the bottom of the inner door panel.

This air helps to evaporate moisture as it iscirculated through the tub. The air is exhaustedback into the room through the upper door vent.

When HEATED DRY (Profile™) is selected,the heated dry LED will be lit and the 500 wattheating element will be on during the dryportion of the cycle. This cycle will add 30minutes to the total cycle time. When SPEEDDRY (Profile  Performance™) is selected, the

speed dry LED will be lit and the 725 wattheating element will be on during the dryportion of the cycle. The cycle will add 23minutes to the NORMAL WASH cycle and 30minutes to the SANI WASH cycle.

NOTE: During the SANI WASH cycle, the calrodis on for only the first 5 minutes of the 30 minutecycle and the remainder is cool down.

  The dry option may be changed by pressingthe appropriate dry pad any time after thewash cycle has started. If changed during thewet portion of the cycle, dry time is eitheradded or subtracted, as appropriate, from the

remaining cycle time. If changed from ON toOFF during the dry portion of the cycle, thepanel blanks and the CLEAN LED will beturned on. The HEATED DRY and SPEEDDRY option will not operate on the RINSEONLY cycle. Turbidity sensor models use the tub thermistorto monitor the temperature inside thedishwasher throughout the entire dry cycle. Ifthe inside tub temperature exceeds 170o F, theelectronic control turns the heater off for theremainder of the dry cycle.

Notes on Drying

 It is normal for steam to come through the ventduring the dry cycle and whenever water isbeing pumped from the tub.  Make certain the water inlet temperature iscorrect . Low water in let temperature wi l lprevent proper convection air movement andincrease drying time substantially.  If the complaint is the dishes are not drying

correctly, don't overlook the rinse agent. Arinse agent will improve the water sheetingaction and drying performance.

  After a power failure, the electronic controlwill automatically default to HEATED DRY(Profile™) or SPEED DRY (ProfilePerformance™) "ON".

- 20 -

NOTES:

Depending on the model, the heating elementmay be used in one of four ways during wash tohelp reach a 131° - 135°F water temperature.This temperature is required to effectivelydissolve animal fats and soils on dishware.

SaniWash™  - raises the water temperature inthe final rinse to santize the dishes. Once

  a temperature of 155°F (+/- 4°*F) isreached, the control will turn the heater off.

Hi-Temp Wash Option  - turns the heating  element on in all pre-wash fill cycles.

Hi-Temp Rinse Option  - turns the heating  element on in all pre-rinse and final rinse  cycles. Auto Temperature Sensing  - turbidity sensor  models measure the water temperature

and turn on the heater when necessary.

  These methods for heating the water stillrequire a minimum water inlet temperature of

120°F. If the water temperature is too cold, thecycle will not be long enough for the heater toraise the water to the proper temperature.
