My wife kept complaining about error codes, which were always gone when I got to the machine. I didn't know about the diagnostics, because they were taped to the inside of the control section. I am an electronics engineer with almost 50 years of designing microprocessor based machines, and over 50 years of troubleshooting and beta testing, so I really understand the diagrams.
So far, I have recycled the circuit breaker, measured 121 volts between each leg and neutral and 242 between L1 and L2. (Jeff and Jake, there is no fuse on this model.) The control board has 121 volts at J101 when plugged in. Unplugging and testing for continuity, the new door switch (I thought that was the problem) is 2.7 ohms between N and J101. That seems high to me, but I'm only an engineer.
Continuity between L1 and J101 shows the HIGH-LIMIT one-shot is good at 4.0 ohms. Between L1 and K502 the Inlet Safety and Outlet Control Backup devices are good. Testing between N and K504 shows the Idler Switch is good at 4.0 ohms.
It's looking like I probably need a new control board. I wish it was something less expensive. Who has good suppliers for this? The existing board says it is an EBX1580PXXX from the 2015 Dryer Redesign, dated 1/19/2017
