Answer

Hi Tom. Check in behind the lower kick plate or inside the inner door panel to find the tech. diagnostic sheet. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. On P10-1 connector pin 5 brown wire is the 120 vac from the K2 relay on the control board paart # WPW10084141. On the p10-3 pin 1 brown is the neutral for that circuit. If between these points you do not get the 120 vac then possibly the board is bad. There is a noin replaceable fuse (f-9) on the board which may be open. First make sure the control board has the voltager input at P4-2 black wire on the board. It gets its power through a closed non resettable thermal fuse part # W10258275. These live checks are done with the door latch switches tripped closed. All this is on the wiring diagram/tech sheet. The wax motor is ohmed out to 600-1800 ohms cold. The piuns will be different when your model has turbozone cycle selected. Thank You.
