I checked the control panel diagnostics- no error codes. Door switch checks out. Shifter coil resistance is around 95 ohms. Ran the manual mode diagnostics- no errors and all functions respond except low and high agitation and spin. LED on motor blinks continuously at 1 second intervals in ready mode. It is as if the circuit board relay is not delivering a start signal to the motor. I do not have schematics to trouble shoot further. Any input on how to determine if the motor is getting the start signal from the control?:confused:

At the rightmost connector on the inverter, place one meter probe at the violet wire contact and then check with the other probe at black, yellow, blue and red. You should read 9 volts DC on each of those. If the readings are good, the motor/inverter is faulty. Eric
