resistance (continuity). If not,
replace relay.
When in spin, voltage from yellow to
red should be 0 volts and voltage
from blul;} to red should be 115 volts.
AGITATE SPIN
YL-RD 115 VAC
OVAC
BLU-RD OVAC 115 VAC
If these voltages did not change from
agitate to spin with machine still in the
spin portion of the diagnostic program,
check for 24 VDC (direct current) across
the purple and gray wires of the coil. If
24 VDC is present replace the relay. If
no
24 VDC is present, check micro-
processor board or wiring.
If voltages changed but machine agi-
tates when it was suppose to be spin-
ning and vise versa, check to see that
yellow and blue wires are connected to
proper terminals on both relay and
motor. Reprogram spin cycle.
With the coiI energized the ohmmeter
should again show 0 ohms resistance
(continuity). If not, replace relay.
CAUTION ----------,
The following is a live voltage check.
Use appropriate care.
1. Unplug washer power cord from
power supply.
2. Reverse (interchange) the BU and
YL wires on the reversing relay.
3. Re-connect power cord to power
supply.
4. Program the spin operation. If the
washer now spins you know that the
motor will reverse and that mechan-
ically the washer dependable drive
mechanism is operating.
If the washer will only spin, unplug
washer power cord from power supply,
reverse the BU and YL wires as in pre-
vious example and check operation. If
agitation is achieved, check for constant
voltage at relay coil (relay energized
constantly).
If constant voltage, check micro-
processor board. If there is no voltage
during the agitate period but the washer
spins, then change the relay.
To Remove Relay:
1. Remove all wires from relay.
2. Remove screw securing relay to
control housing. (Note positioning
tab for ease in mounting and
locating relay.)
