Setup and Installation

Installation of the suction/drain body requires careful attention to ensure a watertight seal and proper function. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with dishwasher component replacement.

1. Preparation:
   • Disconnect the dishwasher from the main power supply.
   • Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
   • Drain any residual water from the dishwasher.
   • Access the area where the existing suction/drain body is located. This may involve tilting or moving the dishwasher.
2. Removal of Old Part:
   • Carefully disconnect the drainage hose and any threaded connections from the old suction/drain body.
   • Remove any clamps or fasteners securing the old unit.
   • Extract the old suction/drain body.
3. Installation of New Part:
   • Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris.
   • Position the new Zanussi Dishwasher Suction/Drain Body, ensuring all sealing gaskets are correctly seated.
   • Connect the threaded part (2" thread) securely.
   • Attach the drainage hose to the hose connection (35/47mm) and secure it with the provided hose clamp.
   • Verify all connections are tight and properly aligned.
4. Final Checks:
   • Restore the water supply and check for any leaks around the newly installed component.
   • Reconnect the dishwasher to the power supply.
   • Run a short test cycle to confirm proper drainage and operation.

Note: The outer diameter of the body is 125mm. Ensure this matches the required space in your dishwasher model.

Operating Principles

This suction/drain body is a passive component within the dishwasher's hydraulic system. Its primary function is to facilitate the intake of water for washing cycles and the efficient drainage of wastewater. It acts as a critical junction for water flow, ensuring that water is directed correctly within the appliance.

Proper installation ensures that the dishwasher can fill and drain without obstruction, contributing to effective cleaning and preventing water accumulation.

Maintenance

Regular inspection and occasional cleaning can extend the lifespan of the suction/drain body and prevent issues.

• Visual Inspection: Periodically check the visible parts of the suction/drain body and its connections for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks.
• Hose Connection: Ensure the drainage hose remains securely clamped and free from kinks or blockages.
• Cleaning: If accessible, gently clean any debris or residue that may accumulate around the inlet/outlet ports. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic components or seals.
• Seal Integrity: Over time, rubber gaskets can degrade. If leaks occur, inspect the gaskets and replace them if they appear brittle or damaged.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your dishwasher related to water intake or drainage, consider the following:

• No Water Intake:
  • Check if the water supply to the dishwasher is fully open.
  • Inspect the inlet hose for kinks or blockages.
  • Ensure the suction body is correctly installed and not obstructed.
• Poor Drainage / Water Remaining:
  • Verify the drainage hose is not kinked or blocked.
  • Check the dishwasher's filter for food debris.
  • Inspect the suction/drain body for internal blockages.
• Leaks:
  • Immediately turn off the water supply and power to the dishwasher.
  • Inspect all connections around the suction/drain body, especially the threaded and hose connections.
  • Ensure all gaskets are properly seated and not damaged. Tighten connections if loose.

If problems persist after performing these checks, it is advisable to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
