DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE

Before servicing, check the following:
• Make sure there is power at the wall out-
let.
• Has a household fuse blown or circuit
breaker tripped? Time delay fuse?
• Is dryer vent properly installed and clear of
lint or obstructions?
• All tests/checks should be made with a
VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter) or DVM
(digital-voltmeter) having a sensitivity of
20,000 ohms per volt DC or greater.
• Check all connections before replacing
components. Look for broken or loose
wires, failed terminals, or wires not pressed
into connectors far enough.
• A potential cause of a control not function-
ing is corrosion on connections. Observe
connections and check for continuity with
an ohmmeter.
• Connectors: Look at top of connector.
Check for broken or loose wires. Check
for wires not pressed into connector far
enough to engage metal barbs.
• Resistance checks must be made with dry-
er unplugged or power disconnected.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

These tests allow factory or service person-
nel to test and verify all inputs to the machine
control electronics. You may want to do a
quick and overall checkup of the dryer with
these tests before going to specific trouble-
shooting tests.
