Phil Electrical stuff is always had to diagnose without being able to touch it, see it, etc. However, I think your problem is the fan fail bypass. Since the bypass does nothing more than route the power from a single wire to each fan wire, it should be straight forward to test the circuits and determine if it is the bypass apparatus or the circuit itself. If it is the apparatus, make a new one, if it is the circuit, you will have to find the weak connection. I believe the only connection from the relay to the fan motor plug is in the washer bottle compartment. From you note it sounds like you are on the right track to isolating the problem. Let us know what you find. Harold McElraft - 3354
