Main Control Board
Diagnosing the machine control board is covered in this section. Many components can be checked
from the main control, which can be accessed with the door on or removed if needed. Some
connectors are located through the bottom cover to allow easy access to the AC supply connector, door
harness and
ACM

odule. The ACM or smart appliance allows the appliance to
communicate with the utility meter when peak rates occur, and allows the appliance to respond and
operate in a manner that will reduce energy usage of that appliance at high/critical demand rates. For
more on the module and display, refer to the separate smart appliance documents. The machine
control board houses all the logic.
The service LED has a continuous flash which only advises the main control has power. The service
LED no longer has any blink patterns which were used to aid diagnostics in the past.
