IMPORTANT: Lid must be closed with Lid Lock
enabled to run the SPIN and AGITATE tests.
NOTE: It will take between 4-15 seconds for
the shifter to change states.
If 120VAC is present, go to step 9.
If 120VAC is not present, to step 17.
Shifter Switch:
9. With a voltmeter set to DC, connect the
black probe to J2-3 (Circuit Gnd) and red
probe to J2-1 (Shifter Switch). In manual test
mode, switch between Spin and Agitate modes.
Voltage should toggle between 0 and +5VDC.
SPIN = +5 VDC
AGITATE = 0 VDC
If voltage corresponds to setting, go to
step 10.
If voltage does not switch, go to step 12.
Optical Sensor:
10. With a voltmeter set to DC, connect the
black probe to J2-3 (Circuit Gnd) and red
probe to J2-4 (+13VDC).
If +13VDC is present, go to step 11.
If +13VDC is not present, go to step 17.
11. With a voltmeter set to DC, connect the black
probe to J2-3 (Circuit Gnd) and red probe to J2-2
(RPM input). Slowly turn drum by hand. Voltage
should toggle between 0 and +5VDC.
If voltage is not confirmed, go to step 12.
If voltage is confirmed, go to step 17.
12. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
13. Tilt washer back to access the bottom
of the washer and the drive motor area.
14. Visually check the electrical connections
to the shifter.
If visual check passes, go to step 15.

If connections are loose, reconnect the
electrical connections and repeat step 1.
15. With an ohmmeter, check the harness for
continuity between the shifter and main control
using the following pinouts. See chart below.
Shifter to Main Control & Drain Pump
Shifter Connector Pin-2 to Main Control J16-2
Shifter Connector Pin-3 to Main Control J16-1
Shifter Connector Pin-4 to Main Control J2-4
Shifter Connector Pin-5 to Main Control J2-3
Shifter Connector Pin-6 to Main Control J2-2
Shifter Connector Pin-7 to Main Control J2-1
If there is continuity, go to step 16.
If there is no continuity, replace the lower
machine harness and repeat step 1.
16. Replace the shifter assembly.
a. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
b. Replace shifter assembly.
c. Reassemble all parts and panels.
d. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Calibrate
washer and perform Automatic Test to verify repair.
17. Replace main control.
a. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
b. Replace the main control.
c. Reassemble all parts and panels.
d. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Calibrate
washer and perform Automatic Test to verify repair.
TEST #3b: Drive System – Motor
This test checks the motor, motor windings,
wiring, and start capacitor.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 5, "PSC Motor Strip
Circuit" on page 15 for tests and measurements.
IMPORTANT: Drain water from tub before
accessing bottom of washer.
1. Check the motor and electrical connections
by performing the Gentle or Heavy Agitation test
under Manual Test Mode on page 9. The following
steps assume that this step was unsuccessful.
