Test Anemometer
YES
Go to step B2
1 Do the anemometer cups spin freely?
NO
Anemometer defective - replace
YES
Plug the connector into the control
box;
Go to “Testing The Control Box”
2 Test signal from anemometer:
2.1 Remove anemometer connector from control box;
2.2 Place continuity tester between pins of connector;
2.3 Have a helper slowly turn the anemometer:
Does the circuit open and close? It should open
and close once for every revolution.
NO The circuit stays open or stays
closed; go to step B3
YES
Continuity OK; replace anemometer
3 Test the wire continuity between the connector and the

Steps 1 through 5 are for the Patio and Wind Speed Switches. Refer to step 6 for the Mode Switch.
YES
Circuits are open, go to step 2.
1 Using a continuity tester, place one lead on common (Pin
3 – Patio; pin 5 – Wind Speed). Place the second lead on
pin 1. Put the switch in the center position and measure
the continuity. Move the second lead to pin 7, measure
the continuity.
Circuit should be open
NO
Circuit(s) are closed (continuity
exists); switch assy is defective -
replace
YES
Circuit closed; go to step 3
2 Place the second lead on pin 1. Press the switch down
(“Extend” for patio, “Lo” for sensitivity). Is circuit closed?
NO
Circuit open; switch defective-replace
YES
Circuit open; go to step 4
3 Leave the leads in position of step 2. Press the switch up
(“Retract” for patio, “Hi” for sensitivity). Is the circuit open?
NO
Circuit closed, switch defective-replace
YES
Circuit open; go to step 5
4 Move the second lead to pin 7. Press the switch down
(“Extend” for patio, “Lo” for sensitivity). Is the circuit open?
NO
Circuit closed, switch defective-replace
YES
Circuit closed; go to step 6
5 Leave the leads in position of step 4. Press the switch up
(“Retract” for patio, “Hi” for sensitivity). Is the circuit closed?
NO
Circuit open; switch defective-replace
YES
Switch tests OK, return to diagnostic
