ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for operating and executing a self-test routine of an LED display device adapted for assembly into home appliance. The device is comprised of a plurality of LED elements, a control processor, a switch assembly, and a signaling element. The self-test routine comprises disposing the switch assembly in a predetermined pattern for detecting switch operability and initiating a program in the processor for self-testing of illumination of the LED elements. The elements are monitored during the self-test routine for communicating a minimum current level preselected as identifying proper illumination. Failure of the self-test routine to properly detect minimum current levels precludes a proper response from the signaling element within a predetermined time limit, thereby causing the display device to be identified as an unacceptable device.
