Page 39: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Service Test Mode The dryer control has a service test mode that can be utilized by the service technician in order to test critical components and to access fault codes. This test mode will help the service technician to quickly identify certain failed or improperly operating dryer components. - Page 40 SERVICE TEST MODE SEQUENCE KEY PRESS OR DISPLAY MODE DESCRIPTION ACTION Checks the Will display “ON” if OK, will display “Er” if no response.

If there is more than one fault, pressing the START button will clear the displayed fault code from the fault log and cause the next most recent fault to be displayed.
- Page 42 Diagnostics from the Board Dead Board If the board is not responding, check for voltage through the L1 fuse. If voltage is present there, check voltage from the J8 orange wire to board neutral on the J8 white wire. If there is no voltage check for an open thermostat or fuse, then remove power from the dryer and disconnect the J8 connector.
- Page 43 Moisture Sensor Rods Check from the the J25 connector on the board and look for approximately 5 VDC. Lay a wet cloth across the rods in the drum. You should see the voltage drop. If voltage does not drop, disconnect power from the dryer. Disconnect the J25 connector from the board. With the wet cloth still across the rods, check the continuity across the pink and gray wires.

- Page 45 Electric Dryer Heater Resistance Disconnect power from the dryer. Check from the J7 to the J2 connector on the board. Set your meter to resistance setting. Check resistance between the blue wire on J2 and the white wire on the J7 connector. Should read approximately 41.9 ohm.
- Page 46 Electric Dryer Heater Voltage Check from the J7 white wire and the J2 blue wire connectors on the board to the orange wires either at the J8 or the J5 connectors. You should read 0 VAC. With the unit in the running position, you should see approximately 240 VAC from any of these wires to the L2 terminal.
- Page 47 Gas Valve If no heat, with the dryer running and a heat cycle selected, check for 120 VAC to the gas burner assembly from the J2 red wire to the brown wire on the J8. Approximate amperage draw of 3.5 amps can be checked from the red wire on the J2 connector.
- Page 48 Motor Resistance Disconnect power from the dryer. Disconnect the J8 connecter from the board. Set your meter to resistance setting. Check resistance between the brown wire on J8 and the red wire on the J5 connecter. This will read LOWER THAN the lowest resistance because it is a parallel circuit.
- Page 49 Water Valve Disconnect power to the dryer. Remove the J8 connector. Check resistance between the J8 brown wire to the red wire on the J5 connector. Should read approximately 550 ohm. If resistance is good, reconnect wires and put the dryer in service mode. Check for 120 VAC at the same. POWER BOARD TO OUTLET O-18...
