Frigidaire fdbc24bas3 Supplementary Manual

The drain hose must have a loop at a

 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 dr

ain pump is

connected to the main pump by a small

ru

ber hose

. 

The dr

 a

worm gear clamp to the discharge end of

the drain pump.
