Section 3. Automatic

Temperature Control

ATC Functionary

The nozzle of the water valve directs the incoming water over two thermostats mounted onto the upper injector assembly. One of the thermostats controls the cold water valve, and the other controls the hot water valve.

When ATC cold wash is selected:

The cold water valve is opened for full cold fill. If the incoming water temperature is below approximately

65°F, the hot water valve will open and warm the incoming water. The hot water valve will continue to cycle on and off maintaining optimum cold water temperature until the tub is full. The target water temperature for a cold wash is 70°F to 80°F.

When ATC warm wash is selected:

The hot water valve is opened for full hot fill. If the incoming water temperature is above approximately

100°F, the cold water valve will open and cool the incoming water. The cold water valve will continue to cycle on and off maintaining optimum warm water temperature until the tub is full. The target water temperature for a warm wash is 90°F to 100°F.

ATC is not active during rinse or hot wash.

Section 4. Water Valves

Water Valve Access

Water valve access is gained by lifting the top assembly. The water valve is located just behind the Automatic Temperature Control Assembly and mounted to the back cabinet wall. To remove the water valve.

Disconnect water lines and remove one screw on the left side of the water valve mounting bracket. Slide bracket to the left and remove.
