Whirlpool ImPress LFB2611L, Manual

Before testing any of the components, perform
the following checks:

• The most common cause for control failure is

corrosion on connectors. Therefore, discon-
necting and reconnecting wires will be nec-
essary throughout test procedures.

• All tests/checks should be made with a VOM

or DVM having a sensitivity of 20,000 ohms-
per-volt DC, or greater.

COMPONENT TESTING

• Check all connections before replacing com-

ponents, looking for broken or loose wires,
failed  terminals,  or  wires  not  pressed  into
connectors far enough.

• Resistance checks must be made with power

cord unplugged from outlet, and with wiring
harness or connectors disconnected.

Refer to page  4-1 for the procedure for servic-
ing the timer.

1.

Disconnect the power to the ironing sta-
tion.

2.

Disconnect the timer motor connector from
terminal 2 of the timer.

3.

Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1K scale.

4.

Touch  one  ohmmeter  lead  to  the  timer
motor wire terminal, and the other lead to
one  of  the  white  AC  wires.  The  meter
should indicate between 2000 and 2400 

Ω

.

5.

Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.

6.

Set the timer to 0 (off).

7.

Touch the ohmmeter leads to timer termi-
nals 1 and 3. The meter should indicate an
open (infinite) circuit.

8.

Turn the timer knob to the 1 position.

9.

Touch the ohmmeter leads to timer termi-
nals 1 and 3. The meter should indicate a
closed (0 

Ω

) circuit.
