PROBLEM

 

POSSIBLE CAUSE/TEST

 

 

 

WON'T SPIN

1.

Perform Actuator and Switch Test for Spin.

(Verify lid is closed)

2.

Check for power on 120V between 9-pin connector and ground.

 

3.

Verify Water Level switch is reset by disconnecting the hose

NOTE:

 

to it. If this works repeat step 1.

Unit has a drain cycle of approximately

4.

Blow into Water Level switch hose.

5 minutes before spin.

5.

Check for voltage at motor.

 

6.

If no power at 9-pin connector and motor resistance readings

 

 

are OK replace electronic control.

 

 

 

SPINS AT WRONG SPEED

1.

Check brake system.

 

2.

Verify solenoid operation and that it is not jammed.

 

3.

If solenoid has power during the Actuator and Switch

 

 

test for Pump and Brake Solenoid and does not actuate,

 

 

replace solenoid.

 

4.

The solenoid cannot be checked for resistance because it

 

 

has an internal diode and is in parallel with the pump.

 

5.

Check transmission clutch system.

 

 

 

WON'T DRAIN/SLOW DRAIN

1.

Perform Actuator and Switch test for Pump and Brake

 

 

Solenoid.

 

2.

Check connections to pump.

 

3.

Check for voltage at pump.

 

4.

Clean pump.

 

5.

Check for lint in drain hose.

 

6.

Check pump using resistance test.

 

7.

If no AC voltage is output from 9-pin connector when selected,

 

 

replace electronic control.

 

 

 

UNIT STOPS WITH LID OPEN

1.

Machine is designed to stop all functions with lid open. When

 

 

the lid closes the machine continues the cycle.
