ELECTRICAL TESTS

Warning - Always shut off electrical power to the washer before beginning any service repair procedures.

Grounded Components

When performing service diagnostics, replacements and repairs, always check to determine whether all ground wires linking panel and components are reattached if removed.

Water Valve Test

The water valve test is similar to the test outlined in the 16008373 manual, except, to check the ohm resistance of thermistor, pull the P3 wire harness connector off the machine control and locate the P3(6) and P3(7) leads in the connector on the machine control board. Note the thermistor has been relocated on the valve to the outlet of the valve. (See
