TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS

IMPORTANT: The following procedures
may require the use of needle probes
to measure voltage. Failure to use needle
probes will damage the connectors.
TEST #1: ACU Power Check
This test is used to determine if power is
present at the machine control electronics.
This test assumes that proper voltage is
present at the outlet.
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Check for appropriate line voltages at the
outlet: 240VAC (electric 2-phase), 208VAC
(electric 3-phase), or 120VAC (gas).
 If line voltage is present, go to step 3.
 If line voltage is not present, check for
tripped circuit breaker or blown household
fuse. If CB (circuit breaker) is not tripped,
have customer check with qualified
electrician.
3. Remove console to access the machine
electronics.
4. ACU VAC – With voltmeter set to AC,
connect black probe to ACU P8-3 (N) and
red probe to P9-2 (L1). (See Figure 2.)
Plug in dryer or reconnect power.

 If 120VAC is present, unplug dryer or
disconnect power and go to step 5.
 If 120VAC is not present, unplug dryer or
disconnect power and perform TEST #2:
Supply Connections, page 13.
5. ACU +5VDC – With voltmeter set to DC,
unplug connector P2 from the ACU and
connect black probe to ACU P2-3 (ground)
and red probe to P2-1 (+5V DC). Plug in
dryer or reconnect power.
 If +5VDC is present, unplug dryer or
disconnect power and go to step 8.
 If +5VDC is not present, go to step 6.
6. Unplug dryer or disconnect power. Unplug
P14 from the ACU. Plug in dryer or reconnect
power and repeat step 5.
 If +5VDC returns, one of the thermistors
has shorted. To diagnose thermistors,
see TEST #4a, page 18.
 If +5VDC is not present, go to step 7.
7. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
Reconnect P14 to the ACU and unplug P2 from
the ACU. Plug in dryer or reconnect power and
repeat step 5. Perform voltage check inside
header P2 on ACU, between pins 1 & 3—DO
NOT SHORT PINS TOGETHER.
