Look again; this may be one for the US market. I looked at your diagram for voltages and I am seeing two listings for such things as circulation pump with 120 and 230 Even for 120 it won't matter which wire goes where; it is AC current. The only thing is that when you are switching circuits, such as your light; you normally break the connection on the "hot" or "Line" black wire and not the neutral but it will work at any rate.
That is the trouble with some of these international units. They should have a different model number for the US market but maybe in this case no. Maybe the person you got the unit from remembers which spade the neutral was connected to when he/she removed the cord.
Yes, I found a YouTube video on installation and it showed the power cord attached. What I found interesting in the video was that the power outlet was at the floor; I would think one would want it up high just in case of water leakage.
go back and find the installation manual go a few pages past the picture and there are instructions to wire the dishwasher.
OK I will give you the answer in your original picture the one circled in red is the black wire the one circled in blue is the white wire and the green yellow is the green wire.
I need to cut out some cabinets, but it sounds as though it’s running normally as I type this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It’s dangerous to switch the neutral. If you switch the hot conductor, it de-energizes all the wiring in the appliance. However; if you switch the neutral, it leaves all of the wiring in the appliance energized. If you touch it, or if there’s a fault and you touch the appliance housing, you could be electrocuted even if the appliance's power switch is off. This is where the "code" comes into play, which has been beat to death in another thread. Will the appliance work yes, is it safe NO.
That's only true for very simple circuits/devices. WTF do you think polarized plugs and outlets exist for ?
Hi billb3. Why the need to end your post with such a negative tone? Mentioning the purpose of the polarized plug here does have merit. But it doesn’t seem that taking such a condescending tone about it is very helpful to anyone; even those of us the comment isn’t directed towards. unfortunately I have seen a couple threads lately where things have gone south. I have stayed on this forum and left others because of the the generally positive attitude and comraderie we have here. Two examples below I recall reading recently that you were involved in. This first one is a very fair point. The topic you are referring to is one of the things about another site that drove me nuts. Very knowledgeable individual, but maybe a little overbearing with the information and how it was presented. You make a very fair point here. . And of course nobody wants bullying going on here. But that is what it looked like happened to you in the following quote. It was completely uncalled for, and if it had been directed at most of us, I’m sure we would not have been happy. There is certainly no need for those types of comments here. I apologize if I seem to be overstepping, but I like it here and I know the moderators and the members work hard to keep it that way. Maybe I misinterpreted the response, but it is the third fairly negative post I have read this past week and it is disheartening to read posts that might change the climate of FHC. Happy Holidays everybody. I hope everyone can stay stress free; I know I’m trying to.
I actually read Electrical Engineering when I was at university. AC current has no polarisation; in the US it switches direction 60 times a second; in the UK 50 times a second. Polarised plugs are actually made to help with keeping the neutral line intact and switching the "hot" line. The voltage coming into the house is 220 volts and you split off from the L1 and L2 to power most devices requiring 120 volts. The power is also typically single phase into residential homes. If I understood the schematic for the dishwasher in question, it is microprocessor controlled so the AC input went to a full bridge rectifier with filtering to power the microprocessor.
If they didn't teach you what a polarized AC plug was for in EE 101 you should go get your money back.
