Check the wiring between the main control board and the motor control board. If wiring is bad, correct wiring problem. If wiring is good, replace the main control board. If the problem is not corrected, replace the user interface board Test 11 Communication problem. Check the wiring between the main control board and the user interface board. If wiring is bad, correct wiring problem. If wiring is good, replace the user interface board. If the problem is not corrected, replace the main control board. Test 18 1. Check power in for voltage under load. Correct supply or branch circuit issues. No problem go to step 2 2. Check power wiring to main board. Yes, fix wiring or plug to main board. No, go to step 3. 3. Check wiring to motor board for short to power or ground. Yes, fix problem. No, replace the main board. Test 19 Check wiring to main board. Unplug the If problem is not corrected replace main control. unit for 1 minute and retry.
