TEST #2 Valves
This test checks the electrical connections to the valves, and
the valves themselves.
1. Check the relays and electrical connections to the valves
by performing the Cold, Hot, Oxi (not on all models), and
Fabric Softener Service Test Load Control on page 5-5.
Each test activates and deactivates the selected valve. The
following steps assume one (or more) valve(s) did not turn
on.
2. For the valve(s) in question check the individual solenoid
valves:
a. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
b. Remove console to access main control.
c. Remove connector J2 from main control. Refer to main
control diagram on page 6-6.
d. Check harness connection to solenoid valves.
3. Check resistance of the valve coils across the following J2
connector pinouts:
Valve
Pinout
Fabric Softener
J2, 4 & 7
OXI (not on all models)
J2, 4 & 8
Hot
J2, 4 & 9
Cold
J2, 4 & 10
Resistance should be 790–840 Ω.

If resistance readings are tens of ohms outside of
range, replace the valve assembly.
¾
If resistance readings are within range, replace main
control and perform Service Diagnostics to verify
repair.
