Symptom Probable Cause Suggested Remedy
Hot water
does not
enter tub in
wash Water Valve Coil Check coil continuity at terminals and replace if no continuity.
Check for 120 V power from main relay PCB
Water Inlet Check water inlet screens for blockage and clean if necessary
screens
Water Check to insure that water is turned on and operating.
Blk or Wht wire at
main controller Check black or white wires at Molex plug on PCB at main control-
ler and at relay PCB.
Pressure Switch Check pressure switch continuity between terminals . If no con-
tinuity, check pressure switch hose for obstruction. If hose okay,
change pressure switch.
No cold wa-
ter to tub in
wash Water Valve Coil Check coil continuity at terminals and replace if no continuity.
Water Inlet Screens Check water inlet screens for blockage and clean if necessary.
Water Check to insure that water is turned on and operating.
Blk or whit wire at
controller and main
relay PCB Check black or white wires at Molex plug on PCB at main control-

no continuity, check pressure switch hose for obstruction. If hose
okay, change pressure switch.
Water comes
in but level
does not rise Drain Valve (open) Check these areas • Drain valve blockage • Drain valve motor and
