First diagnostic step
Touch the Stop/Clear pad to clear the F 03. Check the drum for water. If the drum has a normal fill of water, touch the Drain/Spin pad and press the start pad. If the water does not pump out, remove the front access panel and measure the voltage drop across terminals of the drain pump. If the meter reads 120 VAC, the drain pump is defective or the drain hose is plugged. If the meter reads zero, disconnect power, remove the large four pin plug (JX) and the eight pin plug (J11) from the back of the control. Measure the resistance between pin 3 in the four pin plug and pin 3 of the eight pin plug. If the meter reads open, the wires between the control board and the drain pump are defective. If the meter reads around 15 Ohms, the control board should be replaced. If the drum does not have water in it, start the washer in the Normal Cycle and select Warm Wash. If the washer does not fill, make sure the faucets are turned on, unplug one of plugs from the water valve and measure the voltage drop across the terminals in the plug. If the meter reads 120VAC, the water valve is defective. If the meter reads zero, measure for voltage from each terminal in the plug to neutral. If the meter reads zero from each terminal, the pressure switch or the wiring to the pressure switch is defective. If the meter reads 120VAC from one terminal, the control board or the wiring from the valve to the control board is defective. If the washer is over filling, check the pressure switch or the tube to the pressure switch.
