Access the washer's internal components<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gather a 1\/4-inch nut driver and a multimeter set to resistance mode (identified by an upside-down horseshoe symbol).<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locate the two screws securing the top panel of the washer, found at the back of the unit.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the 1\/4-inch nut driver to remove the screws.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slide the panel backward, lift it up, and set it aside.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2. Locate and disconnect the temperature sensor connector<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify the double black wire connector labeled SET2, connected to the temperature sensor.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully disconnect the SET2 connector to access the wires for testing.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3. Test the temperature sensor<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set the multimeter to resistance mode.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place the multimeter probes on the two black wires of the SET2 connector.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Record the resistance reading displayed on the multimeter.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4. Interpret the sensor reading<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verify that the resistance value is between 9.8K Ohms and 14.8K Ohms, which corresponds to a temperature range of 86\u00b0F to 68\u00b0F.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the resistance reading falls outside this range, replace the temperature sensor as it is faulty.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOTE: Generally, for every 1 degree in temperature difference, 2 Ohms could be added or subtracted. If the temperature in your home is cooler, resistance would be subtracted.<\/span><\/em>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5. Evaluate the main control<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the temperature sensor reading is within the acceptable range, conclude that the main control unit is the source of the problem.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect or replace the main control as necessary.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You made it!<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We appreciate you stopping by!
