TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS
ELECTRIC DRYER
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Remove the cover plate from the top right
corner of the back of the dryer. See Figure 3.
3. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity
between the neutral (N) terminal of the
plug and the center contact on the terminal
block. See Figure 4.
If there is no continuity, replace the •
power cord and test the dryer.
If there is continuity, go to step 4.•

NOTE: These checks are done with the dryer
unplugged or disconnected from power.
TEST #1 Supply Connections
This test assumes that proper voltage is present
at the outlet, and visual inspection indicates
that the power cord is securely fastened to the
terminal block (electric dryer) or wire harness
connection (gas dryer).
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before
operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
WARNING
4. In a similar way, check which terminal
of the plug is connected to the left-most
contact on the terminal block and make a
note of it. This will be L1 (black wire) in the
wiring diagram. See Figure 4.
When this is found, go to step 5.•
If neither of the plug terminals have •
continuity with the left-most contact of
the terminal block, replace the power
cord and test the dryer.
5. Access the machine control electronics
without disconnecting any wiring to the
controlboard.Seegure16.
6. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity
between the L1 terminal of the plug (found
in step 4) and P9-2 (black wire) on the
machine control board. See Figure 17.
If there is continuity, go to step 7.•
If there is no continuity, check that wires •
to the terminal block are mechanically
secure. If so, replace the main wire
harness and test the dryer.
7. Check for continuity between the neutral
(N) terminal of the plug and P8-3 (white
wire) on the machine control board.
If there is continuity, go to step 8.•
If there is no continuity and the mechan-•
ical connections of the wire are secure,
replace the main wire harness.
8. Visually check that the P5 connector is
inserted all the way into the machine
control electronics.
9. Visually check that the console electronics
and housing assembly is properly inserted
into the front console.
