TEST #4 Door Switch Test
On stack dryers, Activate Diagnostic
Test Mode, and perform a Door Switch
Test. Functionality can be veried by the
appearance of a degree symbol above a digit
each time door is closed, but goes away when
the door is opened again.
If the Door Switch Test does not reveal the
degree symbol (small circle above the digit) in
the display when the door is closed:
Unplug dryer of disconnect power.
Check that the wires between the door
switch and dryer control are connected.
On electronically controlled dryers: control
board connector AA7 (pin #8) to neutral
are the door switch connections. CS and
MN Models need to have continuity (0 Ω)
checked at the door switch connector, or
from neutral to the Push-to-Start switch.
If the connections are OK, replace the door
switch assembly and retest.
If wire and door switch assembly have been
replaced and dryer still does not start, check
the door-switch relay.

TEST #5 Exhaust Temperature Test:
Hold a thermometer capable of reading from
90° to 180° F (32° to 82° C) in the center
of the exhaust outlet. The correct exhaust
temperatures are as follows:
* Check the cut-in and cut-out temperature
3 to 4 times to get the average. Dryer will
cycle much quicker without clothes in the
drum.
If the exhaust temperature is not within
specified limits, unplug dryer or disconnect
power. See dryer does not heat page 6-8.
• If thermostats check OK look for exhaust
restrictions.
NOTE: Do not take the dryer test
temperature from inside the drum.
