Does anyone have a simple explanation of how a Rapid-Advance timer works. I think I've got it, but I'm not sure if my idea is absolute bogus or not.
Here's what I say happens:
The machine has a number of Fill, Drain, Pump and Rapid-Advance tabs that are triggered as the timer turns in a certain direction. Depending on the Cycle button you choose, a certain set of these are allowed to have electricity. When the timer reaches a RapidAdvance point, the RapidAdvance tab switches the timer to high (or uses a second timer) to spin the "timing plate" (the one with the bits that allow tabs to make electrical circuit) around to where the machine needs it.
Is that correct? What about on certain dishwashers, do some actually suddenly turn the water on/off as they advance, or not?
