This test checks the dry heating element, wiring, and ACU.
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Remove top panel to access machine electronics.
3. Disconnect connector J4 from the ACU. Refer to ACU
diagram on page 3-7.
4. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance across pins 1
and 2 of connector J4.
¾¾ If the resistance is 12.32–13.6Ω (1100W) or 30.1-34.9Ω
(450W), the heating element and wiring are good; go
to step 9.
¾¾ If the resistance is open, go to step 5.
5. Remove top panel to access the dry heating element.
6. Disconnect the wire connectors from the dry heating
element. See Figure 1.
7. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance across the
two heating element terminals.
¾¾ If the resistance is 12.32–13.6Ω (1100W) or 30.1-34.9Ω
(450W), the dry heating element is good; go to step 8. Figure 2 - Location of Dry Heater Connector on ACU
