Figure 4. Power cord-to-wire harness connection.
4. Access the machine control electronics
without disconnecting any wiring to the
control board. See Accessing & Remov-
ing the Electronic Assemblies.
5. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity
between the neutral (N) terminal of the
plug and P8-3 (white wire) on the ma-
chine control board. The left-hand side of
figure 5 shows the position of the neutral
terminal (N) on the power cord plug. Also
see Figure 16.
• If there is continuity, go to step 6.
• If there is no continuity, disconnect
the white wire of the harness from the
power cord at the location illustrated
in Figure 4. Test the continuity of the
power cord neutral wire as illustrated
in Figure 5. If an open circuit is found,
replace the power cord. Otherwise, go
to step 6.
