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.
 Are both hot and cold water faucets open
and water supply hoses unobstructed?
 Make sure drain hose is not sealed into
drain pipe, and that there is an air gap
for ventilation.
 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 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.
SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC MODE
These tests allow service personnel to test
and verify all inputs to the machine control
electronics. You may want to do a quick and
overall checkup of the washer with these tests
before going to specific troubleshooting tests.
