test 3 – output diodes

• Turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the power cord.
• Check the four diodes in the bridge with an ohmmeter in diode test mode.
• For each diode, the value should be “open” (very high resistance) with the meter leads in one direction and

0.1V to 1.0V with the meter leads reversed.

- A diode is shorted if the value is less than 0.1V. Replace both bridges.
- A diode is open if the value is greater than 1.0V in both directions. Replace both bridges.

Note: In each case, common (black) should be on 3.
