From Tech Sheet W11472624, p.36:

1.Check for plugged recirculate hose (black hose), plugged or disconnected air tube (clear tube), wires to recirculate pressure switch, and test the switch (black wire/tan wire contacts should be open with pressure applied and closed with no pressure).

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.
