 If continuity exists for both connections,
go to step 6.
 If an open circuit is found, check the integrity
of the connections of the power cord to the
harness in the dryer; harness to the ACU;
and the integrity of the power cord itself.
5. If it is necessary to replace the power
cord, remove the retaining clip that secures
the cord to the back panel. Disconnect the

wire from the rear panel, then pull out the
power cord.
6. Visually check that ALL connectors are
fully inserted into the ACU.
7. Visually check that ALL connectors are
fully inserted into the UI.
8. Reassemble all parts and panels.
9. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.
