Electrical Equipment & Testing
Electrical Test Equipment

The equipment required to service these models depends


largely upon the condition encountered. Locating a Digital Test Meter

equipment such as: or closed circuits, measure
resistance, AC and DC volts,

Appliance Test Meter

An Appliance Test Meter is a multi-purpose tester


combining an AC/DC voltage tester with a multi-range
ohmmeter. Analog Test Meter
can be used to check for

electrical circuit to another.

The obvious advantages of being able to check electrical


components and circuits without power applied is one of
the features of the Ohmmeter. Multiple ranges allow
accurate determination of resistances of both single
components and entire circuit paths. Resistance is
measured in "Ohms."

! WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:

Always be sure the power has been disconnected


before making resistance measurements. Failure to
do so will also result in damage to your meter!
Internal batteries provide all the power needed to
make resistance checks. They should be checked
at least once a year and replaced as needed.

Continuity Testing: is a process of eliminating electrical


components involved in a given function of the appliance,
until the inoperative part is found. By reviewing the list of
possible electrical problems under a given condition, and
then performing appropriate continuity checks of the parts
involved, you should be able to locate the electrical
component which is inoperative.

NOTE: When checking components or circuit paths for


continuity, external wiring should be disconnected to
eliminate false readings through external paths. Isolate
what you want to test.

Electrical-Mechanical Troubleshooting

! WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit and discharge
capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before attempting to service, unless test procedures require power to be
connected. Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.

! CAUTION
Units covered in this manual are polarized. Reversing polarity of a unit or any of its components will cause
damage. To avoid reversing polarity, any wires disconnected or removed during service must be reconnected to the
same location. To ensure wires are reconnected to the proper location, tag or otherwise mark the wires before
disconnecting or removing.

Service and Disassembly Procedures
! WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit and discharge
capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before attempting to service, unless test procedures require power to be
connected. Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.

The following paragraphs describe how to disassemble


unit under test. Disassembly to some extent is required
to install unit, to perform troubleshooting procedures, and
to remove and replace failed components.

Component names used throughout disassembly


procedures are the same as those used in Parts
Manuals.
For quicker reassembly, disassemble unit under test only
to extent necessary to troubleshoot and repair. Unless
noted, reassembly is opposite of disassembly.

! WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock, ground wires and wires colored like
ground wires are NOT to be used as current carrying
conductors. The standard accepted color coding for
ground wires is green or green with a yellow
stripe. Electrical components such as the water valve
and motor are grounded through an individual wire
attached to the electrical component. Ground wires
should not be removed from individual components
while servicing, unless the component is to be
removed and replaced. It is extremely important to
replace all removed ground wires before completing
service.

Front Support and Toe Panel Removal

Removal of Front Support and Toe Panel will allow access


to the Water Valve, Float Switch Assembly, Electrical
Junction Box, hoses, thermostats, Start Capacitor and
Motor/Pump Assembly.

Removal

1. Disconnect power to the machine.

2. The Front Support Panel is held by 2 screws, one


each side. Remove both screws.

3. The Toe Panel is held by 2 screws, one each side.

Heating Element

The purpose of the Heating Element is to provide heat


during the dry cycle and increase water temperature
during portions of the wash cycle when certain options are
selected.

The element is dual wattage. During wash cycles, it is


rated at 830 watts. During the dry portion of the cycle, it
is rated at 650 watts. Increased wattage is possible
because of water flowing across the element sheath.

To Check Heating Element

1. Disconnect power to the machine.

2. Remove Front Support and Toe Panel. (See paragraph


Front Support and Toe Panel removal).

3. Locate element terminals, remove wires, perform


continuity check across terminals.

approximately 22 ohms. If OPEN, replace element. NOTE: Before reinstalling Heating Element, examine
condition of O-ring seals that are located between
element leads and tub basin. Replace if needed.
