3.Using an analog ohmmeter, test the resis- tance from anode to cathode of SCR1. Reverse the meter leads and check from cathode to anode of SCR1. See Figure F.5. If a low resistance is indicated in either direction, SCR1 is faulty. Replace the SCR Bridge Assembly. See SCR Bridge

Assembly Removal and Replacement.

4.Repeat Step #3 testing SCR2, SCR3 and SCR4.

5.To further check the SCR’s functions, use an SCR tester and proceed to the Active SCR

Test.

NOTE: Also check diode D1.

6.Replace plug J1 on the control board.

7.Replace the case top and left side.
