E. Thermistor Check
To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2)Removethefrontpanel,thenmovethecontrolswitchtothe"OFF"position.
3) Remove the control box cover.
4) Remove the thermistor.
5) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or
3 minutes.
6) Disconnect the white thermistor connector from the control board WHITE K3 connector
and check the resistance between thermistor leads. Normal reading is within 4.7 to
6.2kΩ.Ifoutsidethenormalreading,replacethethermistor.See"V.B.ImportantNotes
