How to Replace the Bimetal AssemblyThe detergent cup in your dishwasher opens automatically when signaled by the timer control. If the detergent cup does not open, it is most likely to be one of three things.
Caution: Please read our safety information before attempting any testing or repairs. Before replacing the bimetal assembly, unplug the dishwasher or shut off the power at the fuse box or breaker panel to avoid an electrical shock hazard. To service the detergent cup and bimetal switch, it is necessary to access the interior of the door. Access varies by model; on some models the interior panel is removed, on others, the exterior panel. It may be possible to simply remove the decorative front panel by removing the a retaining clip or strip along the top, sides or bottom. However, often access is more involved as described on the next page. page 1 of 3 |
