Before servicing, check the following:
Make sure there is incoming power.
Verify that both hot and cold water faucets
are open and water supply hoses are
unobstructed.
Make sure the gas supply is turned on and
there is sufficient gas pressure.
Make sure the vent tubing is not crushed
or obstructed with lint build-up or any other
foreign material.
Make sure the lint filter is clean and the
mesh is not filled with fabric softener
material.
Check all connections before replacing
components. Look for broken or loose
wires, failed terminals, or wires not pressed
into or onto connections far enough.
A potential cause of a control not functioning
is corrosion on connections. Observe
connections and check for continuity with an
ohmmeter.
Connectors: Look at top of connector.
Check for broken or loose wires. Check for
wires not pressed into connector far enough
to engage metal barbs.
Resistance checks must be made with
power cord unplugged from outlet, and with
component connectors disconnected.

On entry to diagnostic mode, the entire
display will flash, a cycle in process is
canceled, money in escrow is cleared, and
diagnostic codes are cleared. If a diagnostic
code persists, it can be acknowledged with
the lower middle (DELICATES AND KNITS)
button prior to starting a diagnostic cycle.
There are six possible ways to initiate cycle
activity from diagnostic mode as follows:
Washer Cleanout Cycle – With the entire
display flashing, this cycle is started by
pressing the center right (BRIGHTS) button.
Use the Washer Cleanout Cycle once a
month to keep the inside of the washer
fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher
water level. Use with liquid chlorine bleach
to thoroughly clean the inside of the washer.
This cycle should not be interrupted.
iMPOrTanT: To avoid damage, do not
place garments or other items in the washer
during the Washer Cleanout Cycle. Use this
cycle with an empty wash drum.
Washer Cycle Credit – With the entire
display flashing, a cycle may be credited
by pressing the lower left (PERM. PRESS)
button (CC will display). When the service
mode is exited, ‘SELECT CYCLE’ will be
displayed unless the end-of-cycle door
opening is required.
Washer Manual Overview Test Cycle – With
the entire display flashing, this cycle is
started by pressing the center left (WHITES)
button. This cycle provides more typical
full length fills, tumbles, and drains, and
allows for a more thorough analysis of the
washer operation, including pressure switch
behavior.
Washer Quick Spin Cycle – With the entire
display flashing, this cycle is started by
pressing the center middle (COLORS)
button. This cycle provides a method to
quickly drain and spin (remove water from
the washer), if desired.
