DOOR SWITCH
Refer to page 4-6 for the procedure for servic-
ing the door switch.
1. Go into the Diagnostic Test mode on page 6-
2. The door switch function is verified with
a beep each time the door is opened and
closed, and an alpha numeric code ap-
pears in the display (“0E”, “0g”, “1E”, or
“2E”).
2. If any of the conditions are not met, or if
one of the dryer model codes listed above
is displayed when the door is closed, check
that the wires between the door switch and
the electronic control board are properly
connected.
If the wiring is okay, perform the resistance
tests.
Resistance Tests
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off gas supply to dryer.
3. Close the dryer door.
4. Disconnect the 3-wire connector from the
door switch to the electronic control board.
5. Set the ohmmeter to the R X 1 scale.
Refer to the illustration below for the following
tests.
6. Touch the black ohmmeter test lead to the
white wire pin in the connector and leave
it there for the remaining tests.
7. Touch the red ohmmeter test lead to the
brown wire pin in the connector. The meter
should indicate an open circuit (infinite).
8. Touch the red ohmmeter test lead to the
blue wire pin in the connector. The meter
should indicate a closed circuit (0 ohms).
9. Open the dryer door.
10. Touch the red ohmmeter test lead to the
blue wire pin in the connector. The meter
should indicate an open circuit (infinite).
11. Touch the red ohmmeter test lead to the
brown wire pin in the connector. The meter
should indicate a closed circuit (0 ohms).
12. If the resistance test is incorrect, replace
the wire and door switch assembly, (see
page 4-6 for the procedure), and retest.
