NOTE: The motors on these extractor models are controlled by AC voltage passing through the ON/OFF
switch.
VACUUM MOTOR NOT RUNNING:
1.
Always unplug the machine before working on the wiring system.
2.
Open the machine to look for damaged or disconnected wires leading to the vac motor.
3.
Remove the screws from the switch plate. Gently turn the switch plate over and check
the back of the switches to make sure no wires have pulled loose.
MEASURING THE AC VOLTAGE THROUGH THE SWITCH:
1.
Connect a voltmeter to the terminals (with wires) on the vacuum switch being tested. Set
the
AC voltage
in the range of 120 volts, or more. (See Figure 1 to the right).
2.
Turn the vacuum switch
“OFF”
.
3.
With the switch in the
“OFF”
position, plug the #1 Cord (red
sleeve) into an outlet and
measure for
NO AC voltage
.
4.
Turn the switch
“ON”
and look
for an AC voltage reading. (See
Figure 1 to the right).
5.
If the switch is not
working, replace it.
Refer to the
schematic and parts list for the
particular machine you are
working on.
6.
If the switch is working correctly,
test the motor itself by connecting
it directly to
AC
