DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE
Before servicing, check the following:
n Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
n Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Was
a regular fuse used? Inform customer that a me-delay
fuse is required.
n Is dryer vent properly installed and clear of lint or
obstrucons?
n All tests/checks should be made with a VOM (volt-
ohm-milliammeter) or DVM (digital-voltmeter) having a
sensivity of 20,000 Ω per volt DC or greater.
n Resistance checks must be made with dryer unplugged or
power disconnected.
n IMPORTANT: Avoid using large diameter probes when
checking harness connectors as the probes may damage
the connectors upon inseron.
n Check all harnesses and connecons before replacing
components. Look for connectors not fully seated, broken
or loose wires and terminals, pin inseron, or wires not
pressed into connectors far enough to engage metal barbs.
n A potenal cause of a control not funconing is corrosion
or contaminaon on connecons. Use an ohmmeter to
check for connuity across suspected connecons.
