Action
Use an ohmmeter to verify the speaker resistance is about 8
ohms at relay board connector J40, pins 5-6. If defective, raise
the lower shroud and measure at 6 pin connector to determine if
speaker or harness is defective.
Replace the control board.
Cycle power after compartment probe is plugged in.
Replace the humidity sensor.
If problem persists, replace control board.
Remove reservoir, but take care because surface may be hot!
Check that the white reservoir switch button moves freely. If it is
stuck in the closed position it should be replaced with the new
style. (6600-1298-500)
Check resistance of reservoir switch at relay board harness J32,
2-3. Switch should be closed when reservoir is closed and open
when reservoir is open.
Check for continuity on pin 6 (RHBOTTLE). If defective, replace
cable.
Replace relay board.
