Re: Whirlpool AWO/D 049 problem

31.5 million resistance reading.
I’ve checked all the cables from the heater back to the control board and all appear to be sound and connections tight. Everything inside still looks new, nothing burnt or rusting.

Could it be a control board fault? And if so is there any way of testing That?

How would I do That? Where am I placing my multimeter probes and what reading am I looking to Get?

Thanks for your help so far, much appreciated.

Ok I’ve just had the front off to check the heater.

Connections on the heater are all tight and in tact. Getting a resistance reading of 28ohms on the heater element and 17k ohms on the sensor.

Would a heater fault flag up that early in it’s checks? The washer doesn’t even get to the point of allowing any water into it, it literally flashes a couple of lights and then cuts out as above. If you still think it’s the element I’ll strip it out tonight and test it and the sensor.

Cheers for the help so far.

This is what happens after about 10 seconds after putting it into Test mode.

Also the Start button is flashing green. All the other lights are on solid and not flashing.
