DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING
DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE
Before servicing, check the following:
Make sure there is power at the wall •
outlet.
Has a household fuse blown or circuit •
breaker tripped? Time delay fuse?
Is dryer vent properly installed and clear of •
lint or obstructions?
All tests/checks should be made with a •
VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter) or DVM
(digital-voltmeter) having a sensitivity of
20,000 ohms per volt DC or greater.
Check all connections before replacing •
components. Look for broken or loose
wires, failed terminals, or wires not pressed
into connectors far enough.
A potential cause of a control not functioning •
is corrosion on connections. Observe
connections and check for continuity with
an ohmmeter.
Connectors: Look at top of connector. •
Check for broken or loose wires. Check
for wires not pressed into connector far
enough to engage metal barbs.
Resistance checks must be made with power •
cord unplugged from outlet and with wiring
harness or connectors disconnected.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
These tests allow factory or service personnel
to test and verify all inputs to the machine
control electronics. One may want to do a quick
and overall checkup of the dryer with these
testsbeforegoingtospecictroubleshooting
tests.
ACTIVATING THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE
1. Be sure the dryer is in standby mode (plugged
in with all indicators off, or with only the Cycle
Complete indicator on).
2. Select any one button (except PAUSE/
CANCEL) and follow the steps below, using
the same button (remember the button):
3. If this test mode has been entered success-
fully, all indicators on the console are illumi-
nated for 5 seconds with 88 showing in
the “Estimated Time Remaining” two-digit
display. If there are no Saved Fault Codes
or Active Fault Codes, all indicators on the
console will momentarily turn off, then stay
on with 88 displayed.
If entry into diagnostic mode is unsuccessful,
refer to the following indications and actions:
Indication 1: None of the indicators or display
turns on.
Action: Select any cycle. If indicators come on,
try to change the function for the button used
to activate the diagnostic test mode. If that
button fails to change the function, something
is faulty with the button, and it is not possible
to enter the diagnostic mode. Remove the
console electronics and housing assembly.
See Accessing & Removing the Electronic
Assemblies.
If no indicators come on after selecting the •
cycle, go to TEST #1.
Indication 2: Fault code ashes from the
display.
Action: Review the Display Fault Codes table
for the recommended procedure.
