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
obstrucons?
n All tests/checks should be made with a VOM (volt-
ohm-milliammeter) or DVM (digital-voltmeter) having a
sensivity 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 inseron.
n Check all harnesses and connecons before replacing
components. Look for connectors not fully seated, broken
or loose wires and terminals, pin inseron, or wires not
pressed into connectors far enough to engage metal barbs.
n A potenal cause of a control not funconing is corrosion
or contaminaon on connecons. Use an ohmmeter to
check for connuity across suspected connecons.
