FAN

Refer to page 5-5 for the procedure for servic-
ing the fan.
1. Unplug the clothes vitalizer or disconnect
the power.
2. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
3. Disconnect one of the wires from the fan
terminals.
4. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to each of
the fan terminals. The meter should indi-
cate approximately 90 to 170 Ω.

DOOR SWITCH

Refer to page 5-10 for the procedure for ser-
vicing a door switch.
Actuator Button
1. Unplug the clothes vitalizer or disconnect
the power.
2. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
3. Disconnect one of the wires from the door
switch terminals.

Terminals
Refer to page 5-6 for the procedure for servic-
ing the heater & thermostat.
1. Unplug the clothes vitalizer or disconnect
the power.
2. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
3. Disconnect the heater/thermostat connec-
tor from the wiring harness.
4. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to connec-
tor pins 1 (white) and 2 (red-white). The
meter should indicate approximately 10 to
25 Ω.
5. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to connec-
tor pins 1 (white) and 3 (violet). The meter
should indicate approximately 25 to 37 Ω.
NOTE: If the readings in steps 4 and 5 indi-
cate an open (infinite) circuit, perform the fol-
lowing test.
6. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the ther-
mostat terminals. At normal room tempera-
ture, the meter should indicate a closed
(0 Ω) circuit. If the meter indicates an open
(infinite) circuit, replace the heater & ther-
mostat assembly. NOTE: The thermostat
opens at 170°C/338°F and closes at
136°C/277°F.
