No Heat/Overheat
3.
Test the Probe - Thermostat
UNPLUG THE SMARTWASHER. On the Temp/Level Controller,
disconnect the yellow wire on #13 and the orange wire on #14.
Measure the resistance between the yellow and orange wires.
This measurement is temperature based. Refer to the chart
below for proper readings.
If you do not get the readings below, the probe is defective.
(Reconnect wire to #13 and #14).
4.
Test the Heater.
UNPLUG THE SMARTWASHER. Remove heater wires from #7
on the Terminal Block and #6 on the Temp/Level Controller. With
an ohmmeter, check the resistance of the heater. It should read
22 - 27 ohms. If it does not read in this range, the heater is
defective. (Reconnect wire to #6 and #7).
5.
If everything above tests good, than the Temp/Level
Controller is defective.

NO PUMP
1.
Test the Pump.
UNPLUG THE SMARTWASHER. Remove the timer wires #2, #4, #5,
and #6 on the upper Terminal Block. Move the brown pump wire at #5
on the lower side to #2 on the upper side of the Terminal Block. Plug
the unit in and turn the pump toggle switch on. Does the pump come
on? If it does, then the timer is defective and needs to be replaced.
Leave the timer wires disconnected to use the SmartWasher until the
new timer is received. If the pump does not come on, proceed to the
step 2. (When the new timer comes in remember to move the wire
from upper terminal #2 back down to lower terminal #5 before
connecting the new timer).
2.
Test the Switch.
UNPLUG THE SMARTWASHER. Remove the toggle switch wires
from bottom #3 and #8 on the Terminal Block and with an ohmmeter
check the resistance. If the toggle switch is in the off position the
meter should read infinity (open). If the toggle switch is in the on
position, the meter should read 0 ohms (closed). If you don't get
these readings, the toggle switch is defective and needs to be
replaced. If the toggle switch tests good, the pump is defective and
needs to be replaced.
3.
Move the brown pump wire back to #5, reconnect the timer
and toggle switch wires removed in the previous steps.
