Installation Instructions
Safety First: Before beginning any installation, ensure the dishwasher's power supply is disconnected at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.

- Carefully disconnect any wiring connected to the old solenoid.
- Remove the old solenoid assembly, noting the position of all components, especially the spring and lever.
- Install the new Supco DW10060 solenoid assembly. Ensure the mounting brackets are securely fastened using the provided screws.

Maintenance

- Periodically inspect the solenoid and its connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks.
- Ensure all mounting hardware remains secure.
- If a leak is detected, check the associated seals and O-rings for damage or improper seating.
Troubleshooting
If your dishwasher is not functioning correctly after solenoid replacement, consider the following:
- Dishwasher Not Draining/Filling: Verify all electrical connections to the solenoid are secure. Ensure the solenoid plunger moves freely.
- Solenoid Not Actuating: Check for proper voltage supply to the solenoid. Consult a qualified technician if electrical issues persist.
- Spring Placement: Ensure the spring is installed correctly. Incorrect placement can prevent the lever from retracting, affecting solenoid function.
- Leaks: Inspect all seals and connections for proper seating and integrity. Replace any worn or damaged seals.
