Moisture Sensor Rods
Check from the J25 connector on the board. Look for approximately 5 VDC. Lay a wet cloth across the rods
in the drum. You should see the voltage drop.
If you do not see the voltage drop, disconnect power from the dryer. Disconnect the J25 connector from the
board. With the wet cloth still across the rods, check the continuity across the PINK and GRAY wires. If no
continuity, visually check harness and connectors for damage. If you have continuity, replace the board.

Drum Light
Check from the J11 connector on the board. Look for approximately 3.8 VDC.
If you see the voltage, but no light, disconnect power from the dryer. Disconnect the J11 connector from the
board. Set your meter to DIODE setting. With your BLACK LEAD on the RED wire, and your RED LEAD on the
BLACK wire, you should read approximately 0.727 if good. If you reverse your meter leads, RED ON RED, you
will not get a reading.
