Scullery Dishwasher ll

Problem: The Dishwasher l project only addressed one problem. The Fleet was very vocal that additional problems be solved and that fixes be introduced into the fleet as soon as possible. 

Solution: Two additional problems, the thermometer and the fill valve, have been added to the package. When combined with the water level indicator in the first iterations, the three most serious dishwasher problems will  have been addressed.

Benefits

Estimated Navy Cost Avoidance:

Minimum annual:            $325 K

Minimum 15 Year:       $4,875 K

Fleet Impact: This project, when combined with the previous project, will address more than half of the 3M noted maintenance actions. A substantial improvement in reliability and availability should be quickly obvious. OPNAV has included installation funding in FY03 MachAlt line.

Status: Pending

This project was approved in January 2002. NAVSEA has provided necessary documentation. Upon award of contract to NAVSEA/Philadelphia, engineering and test efforts will commence. Fleet ships, in three homeports will be used to verify replacement parts in CY 02.

Applications:

All classes of ships.
