DIAGNOSTIC: Console Buttons and Indicators
Pressing each button will turn off its corresponding indicator(s) or display segment and sound a beep (see figure 1 a or 1 b, page 2 or3). On some models, rotating the cycle selector knob turns off each corresponding cycle indicator.

NOTE: A second press of the POWER button while in Console Buttons and Indicators mode exits the Service Diagnostic mode and returns the dryer to standby mode.

> If indicators do not turn off and beep after pressing buttons and, on some models, rotating the cycle selector knob.

Exit Procedure
To exit User Interface Test, press the POWER button once or twice (depending on diagnostic procedure).

LOADS TEST

ACTIVATING LOADS TEST MODE

NOTE: Entering into Loads Test mode may automatically reset some codes that may have been set, and that information could be erased. Before activating the Loads Test mode, be sure to check for Saved Fault Codes using the Service Diagnostics mode.

1. Be sure the dryer is in standby mode (plugged in with all indicators off).
2. Within 5 seconds, do the following in sequence:
   • Press and Release the "+" button,
   • Press and Release the "-" button,
   • Repeat the above sequence one more time. (Example: "+" … "-" … "+" … "-")
3. If this test mode has been entered successfully, all indicators on the console will be illuminated with "BBB" or "BB" showing in the Estimated Time Remaining three- or two-digit display.

NOTE: The Loads Test mode will time out after 10 minutes of user inactivity, or shut down if AC power is removed from the dryer.

Unsuccessful Activation
If entry into Loads Test mode is unsuccessful, refer to the following indications and actions:
Indication 1: None of the indicators or display turn on.
Action: Select any cycle.

If either the"+" button or"-" button is unable to change the time indication in the Estimated Time Remaining three- or two-digit display, something is faulty with the button, and it will not be possible to enter the Loads Test mode. Replace the user interface and housing assembly. If the"+" and"-" buttons both work, press the POWER button to turn off the dryer and retry to activate Loads Test mode from step 1 above.
