DOOR LOCK SOLENOID
Rating: 120V, 60 Hz
Terminals
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical supply before ser-
vicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
Test Procedure
Refer to page 4-18 for the location of the door
lock solenoid and the procedure for servicing
it.
To test the solenoid windings, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1. Use an ohmmeter and set the range switch
to R x 1.
2. With no power applied, remove the wire
from either solenoid terminal.
3. Touch the leads of the ohmmeter to the
terminals of the solenoid. You should ob-
tain a reading of between 40 Ω and 65 Ω.
If the reading is not within the range shown,
the solenoid is defective and should be re-
placed.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
With no power applied, remove the wires
from the door latch switch terminals.
Touch one of the ohmmeter leads to the
COM terminal and leave it there for steps
3 and 4.
Touch the other ohmmeter lead to the NO
terminal. The meter should indicate an
open (infinite ∞) circuit. Close the switch
and the ohmmeter should indicate 0 Ω
(closed circuit).
Touch the ohmmeter lead to the NC termi-
nal. You should obtain a meter reading of
0 Ω. Close the switch and the meter should
indicate an open (infinite ∞) circuit.
