Diagnostics From The Board AC Voltage Into The Board – Not Powering up

First Check the house outlet for the proper voltage. Check for 120 VAC to the J101 connecter BLACK to WHITE wires from the LINE FILTER. If no voltage there, Check line voltage coming into the line filter from the power cord connecter. If you have voltage there, replace the line filter. If no voltage, check the power cord connecter and harness for damage.

Check from the J603 connecter on the board. Look for approximately 12 VDC from the Red wire pin 4 to the Yellow wire pin 1. And also there should be approximately 7.5 VDC from the Brown wire pin 3 to the Yellow wire pin 1. If either of these voltages are not present, replace the inverter board. If they are present and the UI board is not coming on, replace the UI board.

Diagnostics From The Board Testing the RPS/Hall Sensor

The Hall Sensor can be check from the J1001 connector. With the power to the machine on, and the connector plugged in, you can see with your multi-meter 0 – 12vdc signal from “P-” to any one of the 3 HALL wires on the inverter board when you very slowly move the basket. CAUTION: there is a potential of -170vdc from earth ground to “P”.

Checking from the J803 connecter, BLACK wire to the WHITE wire, the resistance should be approximately 12 ohm. Amp draw is approximately 10 amps

Diagnostics From The Board Heater and Continuity Circuit

The Brown wire that is on the heater sheath goes to the J501. This is the continuity circuit with the Yellow wire at the thermistor. If the continuity is not there between the 2, the heater will not come on. NOTE: To read continuity there needs to be water in the tub.

For models equipped with a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor status will be determined by reading the pressure sensor’s frequency. If the pressure sensor’s frequency is outside of the “Valid Values” then an error condition is set. The error condition will be logged in Service mode. If Pressure Sensor Error occurs during cycle, the cycle will be canceled and the control should go to Idle. If a cycle is started during a pressure sensor error, the Fill cycle will be cancelled.

Use a Hertz meter to read the Hertz at specified water levels. For testing at the pressure sensor, the pin out is as follows: 1 = Ground 2 = Signal 3 = 5V With that, you would want to test between pins 1, & 2, to measure the signal.

1. Remove control panel 2. Compress the locking tab holding sensor in its housing.

3. Disconnect the sensor connector and air pressure hose.

Be sure to Reconnect Yellow signal wire onto the thermistor and the Brown wire on the heater. This is needed to sense continuity through the water in the tub to allow the heater to come on. As water fills the tub the connection is made between the outer casing of the thermistor and the heater. This then is read at the inverter board.

NOTE: Make sure the rubber O-RING is in place before reinstalling the new thermistor.
