Fuse Service & Resistance Check
F9 = SMALL-TRIAC LOAD FUSE
Check operaon of loads during the Service Diagnoscs cycle.
¾ If any of the TRIAC loads work, F9 Fuse is OK.
¾ If all TRIAC loads fail to work, F9 Fuse could be open. See
Fuse Resistance Check.”
FUSE RESISTANCE CHECK:
1. Unplug the dishwasher or disconnect power.
2. Measure resistance of F9 Fuse.
NOTE: Fuses are on the boom of the Control Board but
can be checked from the top side. See “Control Pinout”
diagram.
¾ If resistance is < 3 Ω, then fuse is OK.
¾ If resistance is > 3 Ω, then fuse is open.
IF THE FUSE IS OPEN:
Inspect and check resistance of all loads on fuse. If any loads
are open, shorted, or have evidence of overheang or pinched
wires, replace loads and/or repair wires.
Component Tesng
TESTING DISHWASHER COMPONENTS FROM THE
CONTROL
Before tesng any of the components, perform the following
checks:
• The most common cause for misdiagnosed control
failure is poor connecons. Therefore, disconnecng,
inspecng and reconnecng wires will be necessary
throughout test procedures.
• All tests/checks should be made with a VOM or DVM
having a sensivity of 20,000 ohms-per-volt DC, or
greater.
• Check all connecons before replacing components,
looking for broken or loose wires, failed terminals, or
wires not pressed into connectors far enough.
• Voltage checks must be made with all connectors
aached to the boards.
• Resistance checks must be made with power cord
unplugged or power disconnected, and with wiring
harness or connectors disconnected from the control.
• The tesng procedures in this secon may require the
use of needle probes to measure voltage. Failure to use
needle probes will damage the connectors.
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Only authorized technicians should perform
diagnostic voltage measurements.
After performing voltage measurements,
disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.
