FOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN ONLY – DO NOT REMOVE OR DESTROY
WARNING
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.
IMPORTANT
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive
Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD may
damage or weaken the electronic control assembly.
The new control assembly may appear to work well
after repair is finished, but failure may occur at a later
date due to ESD stress.
Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap
I
to green ground connection point or unpainted
metal in the appliance -OR- Touch your finger
repeatedly to a green ground connection point or
unpainted metal in the appliance.
Before removing the part from its package, touch
I
the anti-static bag to a green ground connection
point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal
I
contacts; handle electronic control assembly by
edges only.
When repackaging failed electronic control
I
assembly in anti-static bag, observe above
instructions.
DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE
Before servicing, check the following:
Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
I
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
I
Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.
Are both hot and cold water faucets open and water
I
supply hoses unobstructed?
All tests/checks should be made with a VOM (volt-ohm-
I
milliammeter) or DVM (digital-voltmeter) having a
sensitivity of 20,000 Ω per volt DC or greater.
NOTE: Avoid using large diameter probes when
checking harness connectors as the probes may
damage the connectors upon insertion.

POUR LE TECHNICIEN SEULEMENT – NE PAS ENLEVER NI DÉTRUIRE
Check all connections before replacing
I
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
I
is corrosion or contamination on connections.
Observe connections and check for continuity
with an ohmmeter.
Connectors: Look at top of connector. Check for
I
broken or loose wires. Check for wires not pressed
into connector far enough to engage metal barbs.
Resistance checks must be made with washer
I
unplugged or power disconnected.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
There are three diagnostic test modes available:
Automatic, Manual, and Console and Indicators. These
tests allow the factory or service personnel to test
and verify all inputs to the machine/motor control.
You may want to allow the automatic test cycle to
complete prior to going into specific troubleshooting
tests, to verify the functionality of all of the washer
subsystems.
ACTIVATION OF AUTOMATIC
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE
1. Be sure the washer is in standby mode (plugged in
with all indicators off) or in setting mode (plugged
in and power up just before running a cycle).
2. Select any one button (except POWER/CANCEL
and START/PAUSE) and follow the steps below,
using the same button:
a. Press/hold 3 seconds.
b. Release for 3 seconds.
c. Press/hold 3 seconds.
d. Release for 3 seconds.
e. Press/hold 3 seconds.
If this test mode has been entered successfully,
all indicators on the console are illuminated for
8:88
5 seconds with
showing in the Estimated
Time Remaining three-digit display.
If indicators do not display as described above,
the press/hold/release procedure above may not
have been performed within the time frame
necessary for successful entry. Repeat step 2
to ensure this was not the cause. If still
unsuccessful, see Diagnostic: Unsuccessful
Entry, at right.
3. The test sequence continues by checking for saved
fault codes:
If there are saved fault codes, see Diagnostic:
Saved Fault Codes, page 2.
If there are no saved fault codes, all indicators
on the console will momentarily turn off, then
8:88
turn back on with
displayed. After
5 seconds, the Automatic test, below, begins.
DIAGNOSTIC: Automatic
Performs a five-minute automatic test with water
functions to check major washer functions (lid can be
open). Press the same button used in step 2 above to
advance through automatic test steps.
NOTE: Basket must be floating in order to agitate.
Step C1 must be allowed to complete before
advancing to step C5.

DIAGNOSTIC: Unsuccessful Entry
If entry into diagnostic mode is unsuccessful (see steps
