Out of Balance (OOB) during Dry Load Sense
From Tech Sheet W11473246, p.18:
1.Check for excessively OOB load. Customer education on how to distribute load.
2.Measure control board supply voltage at the test points. Expected: 12 VDC and 5 VDC; a drop below 4.75 VDC on the logic rail points to a failed onboard regulator.
3.Inspect all connectors on the main control for corrosion, thermal stress, or backed-out pins. Reseat each connector with the power disconnected.
