PART NO. W10680150D
IMPORTANT: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. Most people begin to feel an ESD discharge at
approximately 3000V. It takes as little as 10V to destroy, damage, or weaken the main control
assembly. The new main control assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished,
but a malfunction may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.
Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green ground connection point or
unpainted metal in the appliance
-OR-
Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal
in the appliance.
Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground
connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle electronic control assembly
by edges only.
When repackaging main control assembly in anti-static bag, observe above instructions.
Voltage Measurement Safety Information
When performing live voltage measurements, you must do the following:
Verify the controls are in the off position so that the appliance does not start when energized.
Allow enough space to perform the voltage measurements without obstructions.
Keep other people a safe distance away from the appliance to prevent potential injury.
Always use the proper testing equipment.
After voltage measurements, always disconnect power before servicing.

DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE
Before servicing, check the following:
Make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker
tripped? Was a regular fuse used? Inform
customer that a time-delay fuse is required.
Is dryer vent properly installed and clear
of lint or obstructions?
All tests/checks should be made with a
VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter) or DVM
(digital-voltmeter) having a sensitivity of
20,000 per volt DC or greater.
Resistance checks must be made with
dryer unplugged or power disconnected.
IMPORTANT: Avoid using large
diameter probes when checking harness
connectors as the probes may damage
the connectors upon insertion.
Check all harnesses and connections
before replacing components. Look for
connectors not fully seated, broken or
loose wires and terminals, pin insertion,
or wires not pressed into connectors
far enough to engage metal barbs.
A potential cause of a control not
functioning is corrosion or contamination on
connections. Use an ohmmeter to check for
continuity across suspected connections.
SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC MODE
These tests allow service personnel to test
and verify all inputs to the machine control
electronics. You may want to do a quick and
overall checkup of the dryer with these tests
before going to specific troubleshooting tests.
ACTIVATING SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC MODE
1. Be sure the dryer is in standby mode
(plugged in with all indicators off).
2. Select any three (3) buttons (except
POWER) and follow the steps below, using
the same buttons (remember the buttons and
the order that the buttons were pressed):
Within 8 seconds,
Press and Release the 1st selected button,
Press and Release the 2nd selected button,
Press and Release the 3rd selected button;
Repeat this 3 button sequence 2 more times.
3. If this test mode has been entered
successfully, all indicators on the console
will be illuminated for 5 seconds with “888
showing in the three-digit display and a tone
will sound. If there are no saved fault codes,
all indicators on the console will momentarily
turn off, and then only the seven segment
display will come back on and display “888”.
NOTE: The Service Diagnostic mode will time
out after 10 minutes of user inactivity, or shut
down if AC power is removed from the dryer.

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.)

bulkhead, and drum.
3. Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity
across the thermal cut-off. See figures 10a
and 10b, page 17, for location.
4. If the ohmmeter indicates an open circuit,
perform the following:
ALL DRYERS: Replace both the thermal
cut-off and high limit thermostat. In addition,
check for blocked or improper exhaust
system, and, on electric dryers, for heat
element malfunction.
TEST #4d: Gas Valve (Gas Dryer)
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Access the gas valve by sliding the top
back and removing the front panel, front
bulkhead, and drum.
3. Use an ohmmeter to determine if a
gas valve coil has malfunctioned. Remove
harness plugs. Measure resistance across
the terminals (see figure 11). Readings should
match those shown in the following chart;
if not, replace coils.
4. Disconnect the ignitor plug from the
burner. Using an ohmmeter, measure
the resistance across the ignitor’s 2-pin
connector. Resistance should be 50-500 .
If resistance readings are outside the range
or open, replace the ignitor.
If resistance readings are within range,
reconnect the ignitor plug and continue
to step 5.
5. Disconnect the wires going to the flame
sensor terminals. Using an ohmmeter, measure
across the two sensor terminals for continuity.
If there is continuity, reconnect the sensor
wires and continue to step 6.
If the reading is open, the flame sensor
needs replacing.
6. Reassemble all parts and panels before
reconnecting power.
7. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.
8. Run a high-temp TIMED DRY cycle
(mixed/timed dry on Whirlpool) of at least 2
minutes in duration.
9. Watch the ignitor for a couple of minutes
through the “peek window” in the side. If the
ignitor stays red hot and the gas does not come
out and ignite, the flame sensor needs replacing.
NOTE: If ignitor does not come on, line voltage
may not be present at the gas burner. The motor
centrifugal switch may be suspect.
