WARNINGElectrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.Replace all parts and panels before operating.Failure to do so can result in death orelectrical shock.
IMPORTANT
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD may damageor weaken the machine control electronics. The new controlassembly 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 togreen ground connection point or unpainted metal inthe appliance
-OR-Touch your finger repeatedly to a green groundconnection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
Before removing the part from its package, touch theanti-static bag to a green ground connection point orunpainted metal in the appliance.
Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts;handle machine control electronics by edges only.
When repackaging failed machine control electronics inanti-static bag, observe above instructions.
DIAGNOSTIC GUIDEBefore servicing, check the following:
Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Timedelay fuse?
Is dryer vent properly installed and clear of lint orobstructions?
All tests/checks should be made with a VOM(volt-ohm-milliammeter) or DVM (digital-voltmeter) having asensitivity of 20,000 ohms per volt DC or greater.
Check all connections before replacing components. Look forbroken or loose wires, failed terminals, or wires not pressedinto connectors far enough.
A potential cause of a control not functioning is corrosion onconnections. Observe connections and check for continuitywith an ohmmeter.
Connectors: Look at top of connector. Check for broken orloose wires. Check for wires not pressed into connector farenough to engage metal barbs.
Resistance checks must be made with dryer unplugged orpower disconnected.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTSThese tests allow factory or service personnel to test and verifyall inputs to the machine control electronics. You may want to doa quick and overall checkup of the dryer with these tests beforegoing to specific troubleshooting tests.
ACTIVATING THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE1. Be sure the dryer is in standby mode (plugged in with all
indicators off, or with only the Clothes Dry indicator on).

NOTE: These checks are done with thedryer unplugged or disconnected frompower.
TEST #1 Supply ConnectionsThis test assumes that proper voltage ispresent at the outlet, and visual inspectionindicates that the power cord is securelyfastened to the terminal block (electricdryer) or wire harness connection (gasdryer).
ELECTRIC DRYER:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Remove the cover plate from the topright corner of the back of the dryer.See figure 3.
3. With an ohmmeter, check for continuitybetween the neutral (N) terminal of theplug and the center contact on theterminal block. See figure 4.
If there is no continuity, replace thepower cord and test the dryer.
If there is continuity, go to step 4.
4. In a similar way, check which terminalof the plug is connected to theleft-most contact on the terminal blockand make a note of it. This will be L1(black wire) in the wiring diagram. Seefigure 4.
When this is found, go to step 5.
If neither of the plug terminals havecontinuity with the left-most contactof the terminal block, replace thepower cord and test the dryer.

IMPORTANT:Be sure all harnesswires are looped backthrough the strainrelief after checking orreplacing coils.
TEST #4 Moisture SensorNOTE: This test is started with themachine completely assembled.
This test is performed when an automaticcycle stops too soon, or runs much longerthan expected.
NOTE: Dryer will shut down automaticallyafter 2 hours.
The following items are part of this system:
Harness/connectionMetal sensor stripsMachine control electronics. See ESDinformation, page 1.
1. Activate the diagnostic test mode andadvance past saved fault codes. Seeprocedure on page 1.
2. Open the dryer door. The dryer willbeep and an alphanumeric numberwill be displayed.
3. Locate the two metal sensor strips onthe face of the lint screen housing.Bridge these strips with a wet cloth orfinger.
If a beep tone is heard and analphanumeric number is displayedon the console, the sensor passesthe test. Go to step 9.
If a beep tone is not heard, or acontinuous beep tone is heard
before bridging the moisture strips,continue with step 4.
NOTE: Over drying may be caused bya short circuit in the sensor system.
4. Access the moisture sensor wires byremoving the toe panel. See Removingthe Toe Panel, page 10. Disconnect thesensor wires from the harness. Seefigure 12.
5. Access the machine controlelectronics. See Accessing &Removing the Electronic Assemblies,page 10. Remove connector P13 fromthe circuit board. Check the mainharness connections between thesensor harness and machine controlfor a short or open circuit.
Replace the main harness ifnecessary.
If harness is OK, continue with step 6.
6. Access the moisture sensor byremoving the toe panel. See Removingthe Toe Panel, page 10. Disconnect thesensor from the wire harness. Seefigure 12.
7. Measure the resistanceacross the outermostcontacts of the cable thatincludes the two red MOVs.
If a small resistance is measured,check for debris across moisturestrips inside of the drum; clean ifdebris is present. If debris is notpresent, replace sensor harness.
If a small resistance is not measured,continue with step 8.

8. Measure the resistance acrosseach of the outermostcontacts and the centerterminal (ground connection).
If a resistance less than infinity ismeasured, replace the sensorharness.
9. If moisture sensor diagnostic testpasses, check the thermistor: PerformTEST #3a, page 7.
If the problem persists afterreplacing the moisture sensor andthermistor, replace the machinecontrol electronics.
TEST #4a AdjustingCustomer-Focused DryingModesNOTE: If the customer is complainingabout the clothes being damp and themoisture sensor passes TEST #4, step 3,the total dry time can be lengthened bychanging from a 1 (standard auto cycle)to a 2 (15% more drying time) or 3(30% more drying time) auto cycle.
1. Activate the diagnostic test mode, andadvance past saved fault codes. SeeActivating the Diagnostic Test Mode,page 1.
2. In diagnostic test mode, press and holdthe Dryness Level button for 5seconds. The dryer will beep and thecurrent drying mode will be seen onthe display. The factory default valueis 1.
3. To select a different drying mode, pressthe Dryness Level button again. Thedryer display will flash and show 2, 3,or 1.
4. With the display flashing the selectedauto cycle mode, press the STARTbutton to save the drying mode andexit diagnostics (the START button inthis mode does not start a dryingcycle). The result will be stored inEEPROM of the control board, and willbe retained after a power loss.
5. Press the STOP button at any time tocancel changes and exit from thismode.
