THE BASKET LIFT

With the basket lift

in the UP position, is 27-33VDC present at Pin 7 or 9 of IFB 15-pin connector (0 volts if in DOWN position)?

Yes

With the basket lift

in the UP position, is line voltage

present at the NC (lower) terminal of the microswitch (middle terminal if in DOWN position)?

Yes

If the basket lift motors are activating, but the basket lift fails to raise or lower, or if its movement is erratic, the probable cause is jamming or binding of the basket lift rods. Apply a light-weight white grease (such as LubriplateTM) to the rods. If this does not correct the problem, check for bent or otherwise damaged rods and links, and for loose bellcranks.
