TESTING

For Service Technician Use Only

DANGER

Electrical Shock Hazard

Only authorized technicians should perform 

diagnostic voltage measurements.
After performing voltage measurements, 

disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in 

death or electrical shock.

TEST #3 Drive System

Pre-Test Procedure

1.   Activate Service Diagnostic Test Mode, retrieve any fault/

error codes, and clear them. If the displayed error codes 

are F7E3, F7E4, F7E5, F7E6, F7E7, there is likely a motor or 

shifter related issue.

2.   Once the error codes are cleared, enter Service Load 

Control Mode and run the Heavy Agitation test; if the 

motor runs after 15–20 seconds, there is not a problem 

with the motor, control, or motor wiring harness 

connections.

3.   While in Service Load Control Mode, try to get the washer 

to spin; if the motor hums briefly and then shuts down, go 

to Fault Code Display Mode and check for fault codes.

TEST #3a: Drive System – Shifter

This test checks connections, shifter coil, and harness.

NOTE

: Lid must be closed and locked for the motor to agitate 

or spin.

IMPORTANT

: Drain water from tub before accessing bottom of 

washer.

Functional Check:

1.  Check the shifter and electrical connections by performing 

both the Spin and Agitate tests under Service Load Control 

Mode on page 5-5. The following steps assume that this 

step was unsuccessful.

2.  Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3.  The motor and shifter should be able to be turned 

independently of each other. If they are locked together, 

there is a shifter slider issue. Proceed to step 12.       

NOTE: 

Rotating the impeller quickly can cause the UI to 

attempt to power up, and may cause audible feedback 

and the main control to power up and apply braking 

torque to the impeller.

 

¾

If basket and impeller turn freely, go to step 4.

 

¾

If basket and/or impeller do not turn freely, determine 

what is causing the mechanical friction or lockup.

4.  Remove console to access main control.
5.  Visually check that the J4 connector is inserted all the way 

into the main control.

 

¾

If visual checks pass, go to step 6.

 

¾

If connector is not inserted properly, reconnect J4 and 

repeat step 1.

6.  With a voltmeter set to AC, connect the black probe to 

J4-1 (N) and red probe to J4-7 (L1). Plug in washer or 

reconnect power. 

7.  Activate shifter motor by switching the shifter output 

ON and OFF. Energize outputs using Service Load Control 

Mode on page 5-5.

  NOTE

: Motor must be stopped to toggle the shifter.  

Alternately, Spin and Agitate can be commanded to switch 

shifter in Service Load Control Mode.

  IMPORTANT

: Lid must be closed with Lid Lock enabled to 

run the Spin and Agitate tests.

 

¾

If 120VAC is present, go to step 8.

 

¾

If 120VAC is not present, go to step 12.

8.  Unplug washer or disconnect power.
9.  Tilt washer back and remove sound pad (if equipped) to 

access the drive system (see Figure 1).

¾

  If 120VAC is present, go to step 8.

¾

  If 120VAC is not present, go to step 12.

8.

  Unplug washer or disconnect power.

9.

  Tilt washer back and remove sound pad  

(if equipped) to access the drive system (see 

Figure 3a).

10.

  Visually check the electrical connections 

to the shifter.

¾

  If visual check passes, go to step 11.

¾

  If connections are loose, reconnect the 

electrical connections and repeat step 1.

11.

  With an ohmmeter, check the harness for 

continuity between the shifter and main control 

using the following pinouts. See chart below. 

¾

  If there is continuity, go to step 12. 

¾

  If there is no continuity, replace the lower 

washer harness and repeat step 1.

12.

  Remove the motor bolt, then the motor 

cover (see Figure 3b). Remove the motor stator 

and the shifter coil and confirm that the slider 

on the motor shaft moves freely (see Figure 4).

¾

  If slider moves freely, and there are no 

indications of rubbing on the inside diameter 

of the shifter coil and outside diameter of the 

slider, go to step 13.

¾

  If slider binds or does not move freely, or 

there are indications of rubbing on the inside 

diameter of the shifter coil or outside diameter 

of the slider, replace the drive.

a.

  Unplug washer or disconnect power.

b.

  Replace the drive. 

c.

  Reassemble all parts and panels. 

d.

  Plug in washer or reconnect power.  

Perform Service Diagnostics to verify repair.

13.

  If the preceding steps did not correct the 

problem, replace the main control.

a.

  Unplug washer or disconnect power.

b.

  Replace the main control. 

c.

  Reassemble all parts and panels.

d.

  Plug in washer or reconnect power.  

Perform Service Diagnostics to verify repair.

TEST #3b: Drive System – Motor

This test checks the wiring to the motor and 

the motor itself.

NOTE:

 Drain water from tub and remove any 

wash load items present in the basket.

1.

  See Activating Service Diagnostic Mode, 

page 2, and check the motor and electrical 

connections by performing the Low, Mid, and 

High Speed Spin Test under Service Load 

Control Mode, page 4. The following steps 

assume that this step failed.

2.

  Unplug washer or disconnect power.

3.

  Check to see if impeller will turn freely and 

is not connected to the basket.

NOTE:

 Rotating the impeller quickly can cause 

the UI to attempt to power up, and may cause 

audible feedback and the main control to power 

up and apply braking torque to the impeller.

¾

  If impeller turns freely, go to step 4.

¾

  If impeller does not turn freely, determine 

what is causing the mechanical friction or 

lockup.
