You will need a volt/ohmmeter and a small screwdriver to check
certain parts on your SmartWasher. To remove wires from the
terminals, place a screwdriver into the square hole above/below
the wire you need to remove and push in. Pull gently on the wire
to remove. To replace the wire follow the same procedure but
gently push on the wire to insert it into the terminal block. Tug on
the wire to make sure it is secure.
1. Insure the circuit into which the unit is plugged is of sufficient
amperage (minimum 15 amps/110V or 5 amps/220V) and
that no other equipment is connected to the circuit. The
SmartWasher will draw approximately 10-14/110V amps
(2.5-5 amps/220VAC) when the heater is running. If the
outlet does not meet these specifications, plug unit into an
outlet that meets these specifications.
2. Check the power. If the power light is not on, check the
voltage across connectors #1 and #3 on the Temp/Level
Controller. You should read 120VAC (220 VAC). If you don't
get the correct reading and there is 120VAC (220 VAC) at
the outlet, the power cord is defective and will need to be
replaced. If there is voltage, the power light is defective.
HEATING PROBLEMS
No Heat/Overheat
1.
Is the LOW FLUID LIGHT ON? If the SmartWasher is low on
OzzyJuice, it will not heat. Add a full container of OzzyJuice
to the machine. The low fluid light should go out. If the low
fluid light does not go out, lift the sink and check that the
float is clean and level with the top of the fluid. If so, proceed
to step 2.
Allow appropriate time for unit to heat, then recheck. If there is
still no heat proceed to step 3.
2.
Test the Probe - Low Level Indicator
UNPLUG THE SMARTWASHER. On the Temp/Level Controller
disconnect the gray wire on #12 and the orange wire on #14.
Find the level indicator (float) on the probe (located on the steel
rod inside the tank). With an ohmmeter, check the resistance
between the gray and orange wires. The level indicator, when the
machine is full will be at the top stop and the meter reading
should read 0 ohms (closed). Push the float down to the bottom
stop and check the reading again. The reading should be infinity
(open). If you do not get these readings the float is defective.
(Reconnect wires to #12 and #14).
