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.

VDC.
If you see the voltage but
no light, disconnect power
from the washer.
Disconnect the J204
connecter from the board.
Set your meter to DIODE
setting. With your BLACK
LEAD on the RED wire, and
your RED LEAD on the
BLACK wire, you should
read approximately 0.727
if good. If you reverse your
meter leads, RED ON RED,
you will not get a reading.

UI Logic Board Voltage
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.
UI Board
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.

Drive Motor
Checking from one of the 3 phase wires,
RED, YELLOW or BLUE on connecter J1203
to any of the other wires on the same
connecter, the resistance should be
approximately 18 ohm
36 /
12/3/2012

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 multimeter 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.
37 /
12/3/2012

Heater and Continuity Circuit
Checking from the J803 connecter, BLACK

wire to the WHITE wire, the resistance
should be approximately 12 ohm. Amp
draw is approximately 10 amps
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.

Removing The Water Valve

To replace the water valve remove the backsplash assemble. See Backsplash Removal procedure.
Remove the 2 inch HEX screws that

hold the fill funnel in place.
Then remove the inch HEX screws that

hold the water valve to the top cover.
The number of screws vary depending on
the water valve in the washer. 3 coils to 6
coils.

Water Valves

Slide the water valve
out toward the rear
of the washer. The

goes to the LED Tub
light that is mounted
to the fill funnel.
Once you have the
valve slid out, you
will need to orient
the clamps for
removal.
The lobe of the clamp
needs to be up.

To orient the clamp
Use you pliers to
grasp the clamp and
turn it until the lobe
is up.
NOTE: The tube the

clamp is securing
may turn with the
clamp. This is ok.
Although regular pliers

will work, the Click
Pliers work better.

If the pressure sensors frequency is outside of
the Valid Values then an error condition is set.
The error condition will be logged in Service

Testing
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.
Removing the Pressure Sensor

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

connector and air
pressure hose.

To remove either lean the unit

back or open the rear panel.
Disconnect wire connector
from the sensor. Lift up and off
of the leg post. Disconnect
hose from the sensor.
The Bulk Tank Pressure Sensors are

located at the back of the unit. They are
mounted to a plastic bracket that Sits
over the rear legs. Slots in the bracket
holds it in place to the wrapper.

system.
Motor will spin up to 1000 rpm

on high end models for more
water extraction. Less time
needed for drying allows for
more energy savings.

Platform Assembly Removal

First remove the impeller
held down by a 7/16 bolt.
Lift the impeller up. The
coupler may come off with
the impeller. If not, remove
it also.
Remove the 1 and 5/16 inch hub

nut. The Torque when re-installing
the Hub Nut is 100 ft . lbs.

Platform Assembly Installation
Install the platform starting

with the inner bolts first. They
are numbered 1,2,3 and 4.
Start with number 1 first.
Start the bolts but do not

tighten all the way in right
away. Tighten each bolt of
the way in at a time. This is
done to pull the pressed on
seal into the tub assembly
evenly.
Once the inner bolts are all

pulled in, the outer bolts may
then be installed. Tighten and
torque to 65 inch lbs.

Heater Assembly
Heater Assembly Is
Similar to what we
see on Front Load
Washers. It Has a
Compressible Gasket
that is compressed
when the 10 mm nut
is tightened. This
creates a water tight
seal. Torque spec. is
44 in lbs.

Thermistor
The Thermistor is Located in the Bottom of the Tub

Assembly Next to the Drain Pump and is Removed
by Removing the 2 - 5/16 Hex Screws.
NOTE: Make sure the

rubber O-RING is in
place before reinstalling
the new thermistor.
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.
