TEST DESCRIPTION
This test will help determine if the "power section" of the inverter board are functioning correctly. This test will
NOT indicate if the entire PC board is functional. This resistance test is preferable to a voltage test with the
machine energized because this board can be damaged easily. In addition, it is dangerous to work on this
board with the machine energized.
