TEST #4d Gas Valve
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Access the gas valve by removing the
front panel and drum assembly. See Re-
moving the Front Panel/Drum Assembly.
3. Use an ohmmeter to determine if a gas
valve coil has failed. Remove harness
plugs. Measure resistance across ter-
minals. Readings should match those
shown in the chart. If not, replace the
coil.
IMPORTANT: Be sure all harness wires are
looped back through the strain relief after
checking or replacing coils.
Terminals Resistance
1 to 2 1365 ± 25
1 to 3 560 ± 25
4 to 5 1220 ± 50
TEST #5 Moisture Sensor
NOTE: This test is started with the machine
completely assembled.
This test is performed when an automatic cy-
cle stops too soon, or runs much longer than
expected.
NOTE: Dryer will shut down automatically af-
ter 2-1/2 hours.
The following items are part of this system:
• Harness/connection
• Metal sensor strips
• Machine control electronics
1. Activate the diagnostic test mode and
advance past saved fault codes.

2. Open the dryer door. If a beep tone is
heard and an alphanumeric number is
displayed on the console as soon as the
door is opened, a short circuit exists in
the moisture sensor system.
• If this doesn't happen, go to step 3.
• Otherwise, go to step 4.
NOTE: Over drying may be caused by a
short circuit in the sensor system.
3. Locate the two metal sensor strips on the
face of the lint screen housing. Bridge
these strips with a wet cloth or finger.
• If a beep tone is heard and a software
revision number is displayed on the
console, the sensor passes the test.
Go to step 4.
• If not, unplug dryer or disconnect power.
• Access the moisture sensor wires by
removing the front panel. See Remov-
ing the Front Panel/Drum Assembly.
Disconnect the sensor wires from the
harness. See Figure 12. Go to step 8.
4. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
5. Access the machine control electronics.
See Accessing & Removing the Electronic
Assemblies. Remove the connector P13
from the circuit board. Measure the resis-
tance across terminals 1 (yellow-red wire)
and 2 (yellow-red wire). See Figure 17.
• If the ohmmeter does not indicate (in-
finity) open circuit, go to step 6.
• Otherwise, measure the resistance be-
tween pins 1 and 2 of connector P13
on the machine control board. If a re-
sistance less than 1 megohm is mea-
sured (with analog or digital ohmmeter),
inspect the control board for any debris
bridging these pins. If no debris, replace
the machine control electronics.
