Abstract
If the pressure switch pre-loading cam has been set for a level above medium the pressure switch is returned to medium after completion of the wash cycle by momentary energization of the solenoid to unlatch the slider from the lobed cam. The slider carries the high and extra high settings and when it is disconnected from the cam the torsion spring on the cam shaft can drive the cam back to medium by pushing the slider out of the way. This arrangement prevents inadvertent repeated use of the higher water level settings, thus preventing inadvertent use of hot water.
