Energy save IV/Imperial. Came with the house and I have been proudly running it the last 9 years. Seems to be a good machine. I have been deep into it and made several repairs. the other day it started smoking from under the machine. Believe it was electrical, shut it down, waited till the smoke cleared and inspected. Found nothing, ran 3 cycles since with no problems. I mainly want to know if anyone has a shop manual, or knows the timer cycles? It was within the first 10 minutes of the cycle and I am trying to figure out what was running. The diswasher was silent when this happened, I figure maybe the preheat cycle however the element seems to be working fine. Thoughts?
 
Hi, the most common reason this machine will smoke is the water heater was engaged without being covered with water. Are you sure the smoke didn’t originate from within the dishwasher tank?

If something electrical burned underneath, you should be able to smell it somewhere or it wasn’t very serious. I would keep an eye on the machine and keep using it.

If you take the outer door panel off there’s a cycle chart for the timer and wiring diagram on the inside of the upper door.
