The works of a dishwasher

The automatic dishwasher is in many ways an economical machine. It saves time for whoever in the family has to clean up after meals every year there is an average of 40,000 glasses, dishes, pots and pans to do. Dishwashers are water misers besides, using about 15 gallons per full load, less than the amount generally required by a hand-wash job. The dishwasher operating cost is low, too the electricity dishwasher uses is less than you use in making waffles and bacon for the family breakfast, and even lower if you select an "air-dry" option, which dries the dishes without switching on the dishwasher heating element.

Although dishwashers are complex machines, many failures are relatively simple to fix, and most dishwasher parts can be replaced as units. After the operator loads the racks, latches the dishwasher door, pushes the cycle selector button and turns the switch, the timer - an electric clock that activates the dishwasher parts in sequence .- takes over. The brains of the dishwasher, it controls the hot-water inlet valve, the dishwasher pump that sends water through the dishwasher spray arms or out the drain hose, the detergent and rinse-agent dispensers, the dish-drier dishwasher heating elernent, and the valve that lets air out to speed drying. At the end of the cycle, it shuts off the dishwasher. The only components independent of the dishwasher timer are the float valve- a safety device that shuts off incoming water to prevent overflow if the inlet valve fails to close- and a screen that prevents clogging of the pump.

Filling the dishwasher
At the beginning of each wash or rinse cy¬cle, the timer opens the inlet valve to bring hot water ideally at about 1500 into the dishwasher. The dishwasher timer shuts off the water flow when the proper level is reached in the tub.

Washing or rinsing the dishes
The timer starts the dishwasher motor that turns the pump impellers. Water pumped through the spray arms by the upper impeller turns the arms and hoses dishes at 50 gallons a minute. The lower impeller pumps no water in this part of the cycle.

Draining the dishwasher
At the end of a wash or rinse, the dishwasher timer reverses the direction of the motor, so that the lower impeller pumps water out of the tub through the drain hose. After the final rinse, the tim¬er starts the drying stage.

Drying the dishes
After the tub has been pumped dry, the timer opens the air vent, allowing the hot, moist air to escape. If the faster drying of a "heated dry" cycle has been selected, the timer also turns on the heating element, rais¬ing the temperature to around 1800.
