TO TURN ON THE DRAIN PUMP:
1. Turn on the washer
2. Press the SPIN SPEED button to select LOW
speed.
3. Press the START/PAUSE button.
The drain pump will be energized for several
minutes at the beginning of the spin cycle.

[Note]
The temperature sensing circuits on the main
PCB are very simple, consisting only of resistors
and capacitors. Problems with wiring or
connections in the thermistor circuit are the
most likely cause for this error. Be sure to
check ALL connections and wiring thoroughly.
The main PCB should only be replaces as a last
resort, as it is unlikely to be the cause.
