⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: Dryer Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Diagnostic code: Low voltage detected at control board power supply
How to Fix Dryer Error
- Disconnect power and remove rear panel to access power cord terminal block.
- Restore power and measure voltage at terminal block: L1-Neutral=120V, L2-Neutral=120V, L1-L2=240V. Voltage below 105V on either leg triggers d
- If household voltage low, contact utility company—may indicate neighborhood transformer issue.
- If voltage correct at terminal block but d9 persists, test voltage at control board power supply input terminals.
- Inspect control board WPW10111608 for failed filter capacitors on power supply section—bulging/leaking tops indicate failure.
- Test power supply output voltages if schematic available (typically 5VDC and 12VDC rails)—out of spec indicates board failure.
- Control board cannot be economically repaired—replace WPW10111608 assembly.
- Before replacement, verify no short circuits exist downstream that could damage new board: test heating element for ground faults, motor windings for shorts.
- After installation, measure control board supply voltages to confirm proper operation.
- Run diagnostic cycle to verify all functions operate correctly at proper voltage levels.
