Suggested Remedy
Check these areas: Circuit breakers, Voltage, Power leads,
Power connections. Is front display LED showing a dollar
amount.
Check for continuity through door switch when door is
closed. If no continuity, adjust or replace door switch.
Check 1.5 amp (T-1200. uses 2.5amp) breaker or fuse for
continuity. If no continuity, replace breaker or fuse.
Check voltage output from control transformer for 120VAC.
If voltage is incorrect, replace transformer.
Check all wire connections for sure contacts.
Check data cable phone type connectors unplug and VFD
and replug with power removed.
Check all wire connections for sure contact.
Check that 120 v power is at solenoid after start button is
pushed.
Does F1 show on the front of display. If yes follow tests
described in fault code section.
Check to insure that solenoid is receiving 120VAC from main
relay PCB. If it is, replace solenoid.
Check for continuity through door latch switch when door
closed. If no continuity, adjust or replace door switch.
Check to see if thermoactuator(s) and/or its mechanism is
stuck or binding and not allowing the door lock solenoid to
open. Check to be sure that the locking thermoactuator is
not receiving 120VAC during the last 1 1/2 minutes of the
cycle. Also check to see that the unlocking thermoactuator
is receiving 120VAC during the last minute of the cycle. If
the thermoactuators do
times, change the timer. If the timing and voltage are cor-
rect, replace the thermoactuator.
Check to see that door rod from solenoid to lock ass'y is long
enough to allow lock ass'y to disengage. If not, adjust rod.
Check that door lock solenoid is not stuck closed. If stuck, replace
solenoid.
Check coil continuity at terminals and replace if no continuity. 120
V power only on for 20 second in wash bath.
Check water inlet screens for blockage and clean screens if neces-
sary.
Check to insure that water is turned on and operating.
Check black & white harness.
