Dishwasher Safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
! DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
- Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
■ Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
■ Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
■ When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
- Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
■ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
■ Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
■ Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
■ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
■ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

General Theory of Operation
Maytag® Microfiltration Wash System
No Filter Cup, No Chopper
The industry's first microfiltration system is a clear departure from traditional, passive filtration because it continuously filters 100% of the water, reducing the cycle time and energy consumption on the heaviest loads.
Similar on the Surface, Radically Different Inside
The only visible filtration component of the new filtration system is the coarse filter in the bottom of the tub. The rest of the high-performance filtration system is below the tub.
How Microfiltration Works
- Water and food particles flow through the coarse filter into the filter housing.

text_image
A BA. Outer Blades
B. Inner Blades
-
The ultra-fine filter is cleaned by an area of back-pressure created by two sets of wing-shaped blades located inside and outside the filter.
-
Food particles remain suspended inside the filter housing; filtered water is pumped back to the wash arms.
-
During draining, a secondary pump flushes out food particles and soils.

This dishwasher has an updated technology in dishwasher filtration. The triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superb performance. Throughout the life of the dishwasher, the filter will require maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
The triple filter system consist of a fine-filter plate and a dual filter cup assembly.
■ The fine-filter plate protects the wash pump and water delivery system. It also removes moderate size particles from recirculation onto the dish-load.
■ The dual filter assembly protects the drain system from large objects while collecting the smallest particles for the improved cleaning performance.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■ Visible objects or soils are on the filters.
■ There is a degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes).
■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequencies.

text_image
Dual Filter Assembly Fine-Filter Plate| Recommended Time Interval to Clean Your Filter | |||
| Number of Loads Per Week | If You Only Scrape Before Loading* | If You Scrape and Rinse Before Loading | If You Wash Before Loading |
| 8-12 Every two months | Every four months Once per year | ||
| 4-7 Every four months | Once per year Once per year | ||
| 1-3 Twice per year | Once per year Once per year | ||
*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes. This will also save your time and efforts.
Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Building up white residue on dishwasher indicates hard water.
Filter Removal Instructions
- Turn the Dual-Filter Assembly 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out.

Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.
Rinse the filter under running water until most soils are removed. If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.

- Place the fine-filter plate under the locating tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher so the round opening for the Dual-Filter Assembly lines up with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electrical shock.
WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
Voltage Measurement Safety Information
When performing live voltage measurements, you must do the following:
■ Verify the controls are in the off position so that the appliance does not start when energized.
- Allow enough space to perform the voltage measurements without obstructions.
- Keep other people a safe distance away from the appliance to prevent potential injury.
■ Always use the proper testing equipment.
■ After voltage measurements, always disconnect power before servicing.

Fuse Service and Resistance Check
F500 = Small - TRIAC Load Fuse
Check operation of loads during the Service Diagnostics cycle.
■ If any of the TRIAC loads work, F500 Fuse is OK.
If all TRIAC loads fail to work, F500 Fuse could be open. See Fuse Resistance Check.
Fuse Resistance Check:
- Unplug the dishwasher or disconnect power.
- Measure resistance of F500 Fuse.
NOTE: Fuses are on the bottom of the Control Board but can be checked from the top side. See "Control Pin-out" diagram.
If resistance is < 3 Ω, then fuse is OK.
If resistance is > 3 Ω, then fuse is OPEN.
If the fuse is open:
Inspect and check resistance of all loads on fuse. If any loads are open, shorted, or have evidence of overheating or pinched wires, replace them.
Component Testing
Testing Dishwasher Components from the Control
Before testing any of the components, perform the following checks:
The most common cause for mis-diagnosed control failure is poor connections. Therefore, disconnecting, inspecting, and reconnecting wires will be necessary throughout test procedures.
All tests/checks should be made with a VOM or DVM having a sensitivity of 20,000 ohms-per-volt DC, or greater.
- Check all connections before replacing components, look for broken or loose wires, failed terminals, or wires not pressed into connectors far enough.
■ Voltage checks must be made with all connectors attached to the boards.
■ Resistance checks must be made with power cord unplugged or power disconnected, and with wiring harness or connectors disconnected from the control.
The testing procedures in this section may require the use of needle probes to measure voltage. Failure to use needle probes will damage the connectors.

General Theory of Operation
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.
Refer to Wiring Diagram on page 3-3.
Neutral and L1 (AC voltage) enters the Control Board at P4, pins 4 and 1 respectively. AC is converted to DC voltage at the Low Volts Power Supply (LVPS). Supplies include 13 VDC and 5 VDC, and DC GND (REF). These low voltage supplies are used to provide power to the microprocessors and board components, control the TRIAC, power the sensors, user interface, buzzer, fan motor, and energize the AC relays.
The 13 VDC is vital to the operation of the dishwasher. This supply is necessary to operate all 120 VAC loads in the dishwasher, whether they are connected to a relay or controlled by TRIAC. 13 VDC is generated by the power supply and flows through the door switch-when closed-to be available to the heater relays (L1 and N), wash motor relay, and the pilot relay. A relay coil becomes energized when the control closes the LV drive circuit for a specific relay completing 13 V pathway, which in turn closes the relay switch providing AC to the load. The Pilot relay provides "L1" to the remainder of the components that are controlled by the Neutral-sensed TRIAC.
In the micro-filtration dishwasher, there are 2 or 3 fuses on the Control Board: F500 Small TRIAC Load Fuse, F101 Main Power Supply Fuse, and F501 Wash Motor Fuse. If the TRIAC Fuse is open, all loads controlled by TRIAC will not operate. If the Main Power Supply Fuse is open, no 5 V or 13 V supply will be available and the unit will appear to not power up. If the Wash Motor Fuse (optional) is open, all loads will work except the wash motor.
NOTE: Refer to "Fuse Service and Diagnostic Checks" on page 3-4.
Power Check
This test checks for incoming and outgoing power to and from the control board. This test assumes that proper voltages is present at the outlet or direct connect cable.
Test Procedure
- Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
- Remove access panel.
- Remove terminal box cover.
- With a voltmeter set to AC, place black probe on white terminal block screw head (N) and red probe on black terminal block screw head (L1).
- Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power.
If 120 VAC is present, unplug dishwasher or disconnect power and proceed to step 6.
If 120 VAC is not present, have customer correct power.
- Remove the outer door panel to access the control board.
- Remove cover from control board and locate connector P4.
- With a voltmeter set to AC, connect black probe to P4, pin 4 (N) and red probe to P4, pin 1 (L1).
- Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power.
If 120 VAC is present, go to step 10.
If 120 VAC is not present, check for open connection between terminal block and control. Repair as needed.
- Verify DC Supplies.
- 5 VDC is used to power IC's and micro-processors on the circuit board as well as provide power to the sensors.
If 5 VDC were missing, the OWI (Optical Water Indicator) and user interface would not function. To verify 5 V ± 5%, with a voltmeter set to DC, connect the black lead to P10-2 (DC GND) and the red lead to P11A-2 or P11B-2 (5 V).
- 13 VDC is used to actuate the 120 VAC relays and TRIAC on the control, the overfill switch input, and the LEDs on models with interior lighting.
If 13 VDC was missing, the heater, motors, and all the other loads would not turn on as well as the LEDs on models with interior lighting. The control would falsely detect an overfill fault. To verify 13 V ± 5% , with a voltmeter set to DC, connect the black lead to P10-2 (DC GND) and the red lead to P11-7 (13 V).
Troubleshooting Missing DC Supplies: Refer to the Wiring Diagram on page 3-3 when troubleshooting the DC supplies. If 5 VDC or 13 VDC is missing on the control, unplug dishwasher or disconnect power, and then disconnect all components/ loads from the control relying on the missing or loaded supply. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power and check if the DC supply has returned.
If not, replace the control.
If it has, turn off dishwasher and reconnect one connector at a time until the component loading down that supply has been identified.
- Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
- Reassemble all parts and panels.

■ Harness/Connection
■ Diverter Motor (see test on previous page)
■ Diverter Position Optical Sensor
Control Board
Test Procedure
-
Check the operation of the diverter motor in the Service Diagnostics Cycle. You should be able to "hear" the water spraying from different spray arms as the diverter rotates through the various wash zones.
-
If the diverter is diverting the flow of water to the wash zones, the diverter motor is working-continue to step 3. If not, perform the diverter motor test procedure on the preceding page.
-
Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
-
Remove toe and outer door panels to access control board.
-
Visually check that the diverter position switch connector and P11 connector on the control are securely installed.
If visual check passes, go to step 6.
If any of the connectors are not inserted properly, reconnect and retest diverter position switch.
- Check continuity of harness between diverter position switch and P11 on control.
If continuity test is good, continue to step 7.
If continuity test fails, repair or replace harness as needed.
-
To test diverter switch, set up voltmeter for DC voltage and connect red lead to P11-2 and black lead to P10-2.
-
Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power.
-
Run the Service Diagnostics Cycle as stated in Step 1, and you should observe the diverter position switch closing momentarily and then reopening as it reaches each potential position. DC voltage should vary from approximately 0 V to 8-10 V as the diverter rotates and the sensor detects positions. Monitor for several intervals of the Service Diagnostics Cycle to observe behavior.
If the sensor is functioning normally (Voltage is varying as diverter rotates), proceed to step 10.
If sensor does not detect positions properly, or voltage is consistently at 0 V or 8-10 V and does not change, then replace diverter assembly and retest.
-
If the preceding steps did not correct the diverter/position switch problem, replace the control board and retest.
-
Reassemble all parts and panels.
-
Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power and run Diagnostics Cycle to verify repair.
