TROUBLE SHOOTING CONTROL BOARD
To improve diagnosing and servicing, this control board is equipped with a self diagnosing
green status light (see wiring diagram). To indicate stand by mode and proper operation
this light will remain on. If there should be a malfunction, the light will flash a varying
number of times with a pause between each series of flashes. The number of flashes will
indicate the circuit to check.
