2. If an information code occurs when there is no characteristic code in the electric harnesses,
check these information code:

3C : The resistance of motor(U-V/V-W/W-U) is 4.8

HC/HC1 : The resistance of heater(for 2000W unit) is 25.19 to 27.84
DC1 : The resistance of door switch is 500 to 1,500
DC3/DDC : The resistance of door switch is 31.57 to 61.57
5C : The resistance of drain motor is 182 to 222
