Component
Disconnect wires from component to
properly measure the resistance of the
component.
Place switch in the following positions
and measure across the terminals
below:
Hot / Cold
Warm / Warm L1-1, L1-2, L2-2
Warm / Cold
Cold / Cold
Measure resistance of terminals on
each valve.
Resistance across each valve .............
Verify input and output voltage is
present.
Verify wiring is correctly connected to
the timer.
Do not disconnect the pressure hose
from pressure switch to perform
measurements.
Measure resistance across the
following terminals on the pressure
switch:
Terminal 1 to 2 ................................
Terminal 1 to 3 ................................
Disconnect wire terminals from switch.
Test terminals with switch closed ......
Test terminals with switch open.........
If washtub does not stop spinning
within seven seconds after opening
loading door.
If brake pads make noises...................
Measure resistance of switch
positions:
Closed (ON position) .........................
Open
