DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE
Before servicing, check the following:
Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
Has a household fuse blown or circuit break-
er tripped? Time delay fuse?
Are both hot and cold water faucets open
and water supply hoses unobstructed?
All tests/checks should be made with a
VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter) or DVM (digi
-
tal-voltmeter) having a sensitivity of 20,000
ohms per volt DC or greater.
NOTE: Avoid
using large diameter probes when check
-
ing harness connectors as the probes may
damage the connectors upon insertion.
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
washer unplugged or power disconnected.

able: Automatic, Manual, and Console. These
