DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE

Before servicing, check the following:
Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.

Has a household fuse blown, or circuit

breaker or GFCI tripped? Was a regular fuse
used? Inform customer that a time-delay fuse
is required.
Is dryer vent properly installed and clear

of lint or obstructions?
Make sure both hot and cold water faucets

are open and water supply hoses are
unobstructed.
Make sure drain hose is not sealed into

drain pipe, and that there is an air gap for
ventilation. See Installation Instructions for
other drain hose installation considerations.
All tests/checks should be made with a

VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter) or DVM
(digital-voltmeter) having a sensitivity of
20,000 Ω per volt DC or greater.

Resistance checks must be made

with washer/dryer unplugged or power
disconnected.
IMPORTANT: Avoid using large

diameter probes when checking harness
connectors as the probes may damage
the connectors upon insertion.
Check all harnesses and connections

before replacing components. Look for
connectors not fully seated, broken or
loose wires and terminals, pin insertion,
or wires not pressed into connectors
far enough to engage metal barbs.
A potential cause of a control not

functioning is corrosion or contamination on
connections. Use an ohmmeter to check for
continuity across suspected connections.
DO NOT REMOVE OR DESTROY
