SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES - ALL APPLIANCES
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, it is important that Safe Servicing
Practices be observed. The following are some limited examples of safe practices:
1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to
complete it in a safe and satisfactory manner.
2. Before servicing or moving an appliance:
• Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet, trip the circuit breakerto the
OFF position, or remove the fuse.
• Turn off the gas supply.
• Turn off the water supply.
3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
4. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE.
SUBSTITUTIONS MAY DEFEAT COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY
STANDARDS SET FOR HOME APPLIANCES.
5. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or
GREEN with YELLOW STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be used as current
carrying conductors. It is EXTREMELY important that the service technician
reestablish all safety grounds prior to completion of service. Failure to do so will
create a hazard.
6. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:
• All electrical connections are correct and secure
• All electrical leads are properlydressed and secured awayfrom sharp edges,
high-temperature components, and moving parts
• Allnon-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are adequately
spaced away from all metal parts and panels
• All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely
connected
• All panels are properly and securely reassembled

FUNCTION TEST SEQUENCE
1. Press and hold Select and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds to reset the control. The buzzer will
sound 1 time and “rES” will be shown briefly in the display.
2. Immediately after, rotate cycle selector knob 5 turns counterclockwise to the second position from the bottom.
Press and hold the Options and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. The control will enter test
mode, the buzzer will sound 3 times and all LED’s will rapidly flash.
After entering the test mode, the cycle selector knob can now be rotated to select the following tests:
Rotate the cycle selector knob clockwise from the starting position:
0 turns: All LED’s will flash.
1 turn: Drive motor runs; heat source is on. Drying LED is lit. “H” and the control thermistor reading will
toggle back and forth in the display.
2 turns: Drive motor runs; heat source is off. Cool Down LED is lit and “AF” (Air Fluff) is displayed.
3 turns: Drive motor runs; heat source is off. Drying and Cool Down LED’s are lit and numbers appear in
the display showing moisture sensor readings. Opening the door (press in on door switch plunger)
and placing a finger on the both moisture sense bars at the same time will make the numbers
decrease. In controls that do not have a digit display, the More Dry LED should be ON. Opening
the door (press in on door switch plunger) and placing a finger on the both moisture sense bars at
the same time will make the Damp LED come on.
4 turns: Drive motor runs; heat source is off.
Key test:
a. When the Temperature key is pressed, all the temperature LED’s should light.
b. When the Dryness key is pressed, all the dryness level LED’s should light.
c. When the Options or Select key is pressed, all the Option LED’s should light.
d. When the Start/Pause key is pressed, all the cycle status LED’s should light.
e. When the Cancel key is pressed, all the cycle status LED’s should light.
5 turns: Drive motor runs; heat source is off. Cool Down LED is lit. Control thermistor reading is
displayed.
6 turns: Drive motor runs; heat source is on. Drying LED is lit. Control thermistor reading is displayed.
7-11 turns: All LED’s will flash.
To EXIT test mode, press and hold the Select and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds or disconnect
