How Sears Dishwashers Work
Sears dishwasher has 3 main areas:
1. Motor and pump system
2. Controls, switches, valves & solenoids
3. Interior
Part Components of Sears Dishwasher
Motor and Pump System
A dishwasher has one motor. This motor is attached to a pump which forces the water into the spray arms. When the the drain cycle occurs, this same pump pushes the water out of a dishwasher and down the drain.
Drain Pump Motor
Controls, Switches, Valves & Solenoids
Most Sears dishwashers have at least 6 or more controls, switches, valves & solenoids. These are timers, selector switches, water-inlet valves, float switches, soap dispensers, drain solenoids, thermostats, soil sensors, door switch, drying fan & heating elements.
Interior of Sears Dishwasher
Dishwasher interior is composed of dish racks, spray arms, spray tower, upper part of the pump assembly & water filter.
Dishwasher goes through a number of cycles. The timers and controls are responsible for making sure the cycles run smoothly. This is how:
- The dishwasher fills with water
- The water heats up to correct temperature
- Detergent is released
- Fresh water is shot all over dishes to wash them clean
- Old water is drained
- More water is sprayed over the dishes so they can be rinsed
- Water is drained again
- The air in the dishwasher heats up so the dishes can dry
Maintenance Tips for Sears Dishwasher
- Clean and deodorize dishwasher interior - If dishwasher is used frequently, the interior does not need to be cleaned separately. If it is not used for a time of a week or more and it begins to mold or to develop an odor, one should use a special dishwasher cleaner, like Glisten.
- Cleaning of dishwasher exterior - it should be cleaned with a damp sponge, dipped in warm water with a bit of dish detergent.
- Repairing the dishwasher dish rack - the plastic coating may corrode and rust if it wears off. The rust can stain your dishes and do damage to your dishwasher in the long run. RepairClinic.com carries repair kits for all your dishwasher repairing needs.
- Cleaning the dishwasher filter- many dishwashers have filters that need to be cleaned regularly. Check your owner's manual to find out if you need to do that for your Sears dishwasher. To protect the dishwasher pump and the motor seal from leftover debris, damaged or broken filters need to be replaced.
- Spray arm cleaning - the small holes in the spray arms of your dishwasher may become clogged with dirt, particles and debris over a period of time. Your dishwasher will do a better job of cleaning your dishes if you keep the spray arms clean and clear of obstruction.
