If measuring voltage from the Main PCB Assembly to the Hall Sensor, use the
following steps:
1. Unplug power cord.
2. Remove rear washer panel.
3. Locate Hall sensor connector on the stator behind the rotor.
4. Place meter leads on terminals 5 to 4, white to gray.
5. Plug in power cord, close door, and press power button.
DO NOT PRESS START!
6. You should measure 10 to 15 Vdc. If 10 to 15 Vdc is present, control board,
white wire, and gray wire are OK! If not follow testing output voltages on control
