Operating Instructions
Wash System
Your Kenmore dishwasher filters 100% of the
water for optimum cleaning. The wash system
uses alternating arms to save water and energy
and includes a heavy-duty stainless steel food
disposer that grinds up large food particles.
How the wash system works
1. Load the dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading
Dishes).
2. Hot water enters the dishwasher, covers the filter, and
rises to the bottom of the heater clips.
3. Detergent is dispensed at the appropriate time and
mixed with the hot water. This mixture is pumped
through the lower spray arm and sprays against the
soiled surfaces of the dishes to remove food particles.
4. Water passes through the fine mesh primary filter
where food soil is removed and the clean water is then
recirculated.
5. Ports under the lower wash arm direct the food soil
through a secondary filter into a collection chamber.
6. Food soil is held in the collection chamber until it is
flushed away during the drain cycle.
7. Clean, hot water enters the dishwasher and the
sequence is repeated.
8. Beginning with the third water fill, the wash action
switches between the lower spray arm and middle
spray arm in 90 second intervals. You may notice a
change in sound as the wash action pauses and
switches to the other arm.
9. The dishwasher may pause during the cycle while
water is being heated. Wash action will continue
during this time.
10. Rinse aid is automatically dispensed in the final rinse
to aid in drying.
