TEST #9: Heater Element
(on some models)
Perform the following checks to ensure the
heater is functioning properly.
1.
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2.
Remove the heater terminal plastic cover.
3.
Check the connection to the water heater
element.
4.
Check the resistance of the heater element
(abnormal = infinity).
5.
If the resistance is infinite, replace the
heater element and reinstall the heater terminal
plastic cover.
6.
Visually inspect that the connector on the
main control (
J5
) that plugs into the lower
harness is installed correctly (see wiring
diagram, page 22).
If visual check passes, go to step 7.
If visual check fails, reconnect cable.
7.
If connections are correct, replace the
main control.
TEST #8: Lid Lock
Perform the following checks if the washer
does not lock (or unlock).
1.
Check the lid lock by performing Lid
Lock test under Service Load Control Mode
in Service Diagnostic Mode on page 4. The
following steps assume that this step was
unsuccessful.
2.
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3.
Remove console to access main control.
4.
Visually check that the J6 connector is
inserted all the way into the main control.
If visual check passes, go to step 5.
If connector is not inserted properly,
reconnect J6 and repeat step 1.
5.
Check the lid lock motor winding and
switches by removing J6 from the main control
and checking the resistance values shown in
the following table:
If resistance values are good, go to step 6.
If switch measurements do not match the
values shown in the table for unlocked (or
locked) condition, a problem exists in the
lid lock. Replace the lid lock mechanism.
6.
If the preceding steps did not correct the
lock 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.
