[COLOR=blue]Alvin: I[/COLOR][COLOR=red] am having trouble deciding if the timer is bad. The cycle should take approx. 97 min. according to the owners manual , but it takes 132min. Before the drying cycle, the machine fills & empties 5 or 6 times. Is this normal? Also can you show me a wiring schematic?[/COLOR]
The FIRST thing to check is your water temp. It REALLY should be at LEAST 130 degrees!!! The water is heated during the cycle, If its not hot enough coming into the unit, the dishwasher will heat the water, and that takes time, The wiring schematic should be under the unit between the metal shield and the tub.
