Frigidaire fdbc24bas1 Supplementary Manual

The drain hose must have a loop at a
minimum height of 32 inches in order to
insure proper drainage.

The main pump can easily be removed by
disconnecting the drain pump connector
hose and the wiring harness connections
made at the circulation motor and rotating
the four sump retainers toward the middle
of the sump.

The pump assembly is driven by a
synchronous motor. Rotation is in the
counterclockwise direction at 3600 RPM.
The motor drives a pump which supplies
100 percent filtered water at a rate to
approximately 12 GPM.

Draining is accomplished by using a small
separate synchronous drain pump mounted
to the side of the sump. The drain pump is
connected to the main pump by a small
rubber hose. The drain check valve is
located at the discharge end of the drain
pump. The drain hose is attached by a
worm gear clamp to the discharge end of
the drain pump.

Refer to the cycle chart on the reverse side
to determine when the heater is on during
the wash cycle.

Voltage checks of the heater should be
made with the timer set in the main wash.

The door seal is pressed into the tub
channel for an interference fit. Center the
gasket (marked on back) at the tub top
center and press in place without stretching
or bunching. The gasket takes a short turn
at the bottom of the tub channel before
ending at the channel end wall.
