Answer

Hello Doug, You should run the diagnostics cycle to pull the fault codes. To invoke the Diagnostics Cycle, perform the following key presses or actions in less than 6 seconds while in standby: Heated Dry ? Normal ? Heated Dry ? Normal Invoking Service Diagnostics clears all status and last ran information from memory and restores defaults; It also forces the next cycle to be a sensor calibration cycle. Calibration cycles begin with a “sensor check” to determine whether the dishwasher has an OWI soil sensor. If the controller detects an OWI, it forces two rinses to occur prior to Final Rinse (to assure clear water), then calibrates the OWI during the final rinse. Turn on all LEDs immediately upon receiving entry sequence (even if door open) and throughout this first interval as a display test. If the flowmeter is operating correctly, the control will turn on the Clean LED when the flowmeter counts 3 or more pulses anytime during these intervals. Thermistor (temperature sensor) checks: Turn Clean LED on if the thermistor is in its normal temperature range of 62°F–160°F. Turn sanitized LED on if the thermistor is above 100°F. OWI (optical soil sensor) checks: Check OWI sensor for the presence of clear water during the 5 sec pause in interval 13 and turn on the Clean LED in interval 12 if clear water detected. Check OWI sensor for the presence of air during the last 5 sec of Drain interval 3 and turn on the Clean LED in interval 2 if air detected. Check OWI sensor for the presence of bulk soil in the water during pause interval 8; execute max. allowed APFs and turn on Clean LED in interval 7 if bulk soil detected. Heater relay must lag wash motor relay by 1.5 sec at start-up of heated wash intervals to avoid simultaneous heater and motor in-rush current.
