diode is shorted. In either case, replace diode.

3.Meter should indicate 240 VAC. If it does not, replace control.

4.If meter indicates 240 VAC and indicator does not light, move lead from P of control to terminal D of terminal block.

5.If meter does not indicate any voltage, then the diode is an open circuit or a wire harness has a broken wire. Test diode and wire harness for continuity.

6.If a short exists in the diode, all indicator lights will come on when one control is turned on.

7.Replace diode or light assembly as required.
