DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE

Before servicing, check the following:
Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.

Has a household fuse blown, or circuit

breaker or GFCI tripped? Was a regular fuse
used? Inform customer that a time-delay fuse
is required.
Are both hot and cold water faucets open

and water supply hoses unobstructed?
Make sure drain hose is not sealed into

drain pipe, and that there is an air gap
for ventilation.
All tests/checks should be made with a

VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter) or DVM
(digital-voltmeter) having a sensitivity of
20,000 Ω per volt DC or greater.
Resistance checks must be made with

washer unplugged or power disconnected.
IMPORTANT: Avoid using large

diameter probes when checking harness
connectors as the probes may damage
the connectors upon insertion.
Check all harnesses and connections

before replacing components. Look for
connectors not fully seated, broken or
loose wires and terminals, pin insertion,
or wires not pressed into connectors
far enough to engage metal barbs.
A potential cause of a control not

functioning is corrosion or contamination on
connections. Use an ohmmeter to check for
continuity across suspected connections.

SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC MODE
These tests allow service personnel to test
and verify all inputs to the machine control
electronics. You may want to do a quick and
overall checkup of the washer with these tests
before going to specific troubleshooting tests.

ACTIVATING SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC MODE

1. Be sure the washer is in standby mode
(plugged in with all indicators off).
2. After initial power is applied, wait
30 seconds before activating Service
Diagnostic mode.
3. Select any three (3) buttons (except
POWER) and follow the steps below, using
the same buttons. Remember the buttons
and the order that the buttons were pressed.
Within 8 seconds,
• Press and Release the 1st selected button,
• Press and Release the 2nd selected button,
• Press and Release the 3rd selected button;
• Repeat this 3 button sequence 2 more times.
4. If the Service Diagnostic mode has been
entered successfully, all indicators on the
console are illuminated for 5 seconds with
"888" or "88" showing in the Estimated Time
Remaining (Whirlpool) or Estimated Cycle
Time (Maytag) seven-segment display. If
there are no saved fault codes, all indicators
on the console will momentarily turn off,
and then only the seven-segment display
will come back on and display "888" or "88".
NOTE: The Service Diagnostic mode will time
out after 10 minutes of user inactivity, or shut
down if AC power is removed.
