Factory test mode will test the thermistor (used for automatictemperature control) that is contained in the turbidity sensor and will test the transmitter that iscontained in the turbidity sensor.Entering Factory Test ModeNote: This mode can only be entered within the first 2 minutes after power-up. After 2 minutes, factorytest mode is unavailable.1. Disconnect power from dishwasher. Wait 10 seconds and connect power to dishwasher.2.
