Page 40: Diagnostics From The Board
Diagnostics from the Board Dead Board If the board is not responding check for voltage through the L1 fuse. If voltage is present there, check voltage from the J8 ORANGE wire to board neutral on J8 WHITE wire. If no voltage check for an open thermostat or fuse. Remove power from the dryer and disconnect the J8 connector. - Page 41 Moisture Sensor Rods Check from the J25 connector on the board. Look for approximately 5 VDC. Lay a wet cloth across the rods in the drum. You should see the voltage drop. If you do not see the voltage drop, disconnect power from the dryer. Disconnect the J25 connector from the board.
- Page 42 Inlet and Outlet Thermistors Disconnect power from the dryer. Check from the J10 connector on the board. Set your meter to resistance setting.

- Page 43 Electric Dryer Heater Resistance Disconnect power from the dryer. Check from the J7 to the J2 connector on the board. Set your meter to resistance setting. Check resistance between the BLUE wire on J2 and the WHITE wire on the J7 connector. Should read approximately 41.9 OHM.
- Page 44 Electric Dryer Heater Voltage Check from the J7 WHITE wire and the J2 BLUE wire connectors on the board to the ORANGE wires either at the J8 or the J5 connectors. You should read 0 VAC. With the unit in the running position, you should see approximately 240 VAC from any of these wires to the L2 fuse.
- Page 45 Gas Valve If no heat, with the dryer running and a heat cycle selected, check for 120 VAC to the gas burner assembly from J2 RED wire to the BROWN wire on the J8. Approximate amperage draw of 3.5 amps can be checked from the RED wire on the J2 connector.
- Page 46 Motor Resistance Disconnect power from the dryer. Disconnect the J8 connecter from the board. Set your meter to resistance setting. Check resistance between the BROWN wire on J8 and the RED wire on the J5 connecter. This will read LOWER THAN the lowest resistance because it is a parallel circuit.
- Page 47 Water Valve Disconnect power to the dryer. Remove the J8 connector. Check resistance between the J8 BROWN wire to the RED wire on the J5 connector. Should read approximately 550 OHM. If resistance is good, reconnect wires put the dryer in service mode. Check for 120 VAC at the same. POWER BOARD FUSE CCMR...
