• Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply.
• Check the ATC Control Board for proper installation in its connector.
• Make sure that the harness wires are in their proper location in the connector.
• Remove the ATC Control Board from its connector.
• Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance of the thermistor at connector harness
