COMPONENT TESTING
For Service Technician Use Only
TEST #12b: DRY TEMPERATURE
SENSOR (NTC)
The ACU monitors the heater channel temperature using the
dry NTC, and cycles the dry heater relay on and off to maintain
the desired temperature.
NOTE
: Begin with an empty washer/dryer at ambient
temperature and a clean lint screen.
1. Unplug washer/dryer or disconnect power.
2. Gently lay washer/dryer on its right side to access the
ACU. Remove AC shield and ACU cover.
3. Remove connector
J14
from the ACU and measure the
resistance between J14-1 and J14-2 at the connector. The
following table gives temperatures and their associated
resistance values.

If the resistance is infinite or close to zero, go to step 4.
¾
If it is within range, go to step 7.
4. Remove the top panel to access the heater channel
assembly.
5. Disconnect the dry temperature sensor connector from
the NTC. See Figure 1.
6. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance across pins 1
and 2 of the dry temperature sensor.
¾
If the resistance is within the specified range, the
sensor is good; replace the main harness.
¾
If the resistance is far out of range or open, replace the
temperature sensor.
7. If the preceding steps did not correct the dry temperature
sensor problem, replace the ACU.
