4. Access the machine electronics without
disconnecting any wiring to the timer.
5. With an ohmmeter, check the continuity
from the L1 plug terminal of the power cord
to pin C on the timer and from the N plug
terminal of the power cord to the door switch.
 If continuity exists for both connections,
go to step 7.

of the connections of the power cord to the
harness in the dryer and the integrity of the
power cord itself.
