WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD may damage
or weaken the machine control electronics. The new control
assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished,
but failure may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.
■
Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to
green ground connection point or unpainted metal in
the appliance
-OR-
Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground
connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
■
Before removing the part from its package, touch the
anti-static bag to a green ground connection point or
unpainted metal in the appliance.
■
Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts;
handle machine control electronics by edges only.
■
When repackaging failed machine control electronics in
anti-static bag, observe above instructions.
DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE
Before servicing, check the following:
■
Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
■
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 functioning 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 dryer unplugged or
power disconnected.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
These tests allow factory or 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 dryer with these tests before
going to specific troubleshooting tests.
ACTIVATING THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE
1. Be sure the dryer is in standby mode (plugged in with all
indicators off, or with only the Cycle Complete indicator on).
2. Select any one button (except PAUSE/CANCEL) and follow
the steps below, using the same button (remember the
button):
Press/hold
3 seconds
➔
Release for
3 seconds
➔
Press/hold
3 seconds
➔
Release for
3 seconds
➔
Press/hold
3 seconds
3. If this test mode has been entered successfully, all indicators
on the console are illuminated for 5 seconds with
88 showing
in the Estimated Time Remaining two-digit display. If there are
no saved fault codes or active fault codes, all indicators on
the console will momentarily turn off, then stay on with
88
displayed.
DIAGNOSTIC: Unsuccessful Entry
If entry into diagnostic mode is unsuccessful, refer to the
following indications and actions:
Indication 1:
None of the indicators or display turns on.
Action:
Select any cycle.
➔
If indicators come on, try to change the function for the
button used to activate the diagnostic test mode. If that
button fails to change the function, something is faulty with
the button, and it is not possible to enter the diagnostic
mode.Remove the console electronics and housing
assembly. See Accessing & Removing the Electronic
Assemblies, page 10.
➔
If no indicators come on after selecting the cycle, go to
TEST #1, page 4.
Indication 2:
Fault code flashes from the display.
Action:
Review the Display Fault/Error Codes table, page 2, for
the recommended procedure.
DIAGNOSTIC: Saved Fault Codes
If there are saved fault codes, the most recent fault code will
alternately show “F-” and “XX” where XX is the fault code, and all
the cycle selector indicators flash.
Press and release
the same button
used to activate

➔
All indicators momentarily turn off, then stay on.
DIAGNOSTIC: Active Fault Codes
If there is an active fault code, it will be flashing in the display
(the cycle indicators do not flash). Review the Display Fault/Error
Codes table, page 2, for the recommended procedure.
If there is no active fault code,
88 will be displayed.
DIAGNOSTIC: Console Buttons and Indicators
Pressing buttons and rotating the cycle selector will turn off the
corresponding indicator and sound a beep as shown in figure 1,
Console Diagnostics, page 2. Pressing (more time) will
toggle the left digit on the display while sounding a beep.
Pressing (less time) will toggle the right digit on the display
while sounding a beep.
If indicators fail to come on and beep after pressing buttons and
rotating the cycle selector, go to TEST #5, page 9.
