DRIVE MOTOR
Refer to page 4-7 for the procedure for servic-
ing the drive motor.
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the
dryer.
2. Set the ohmmeter to the R X 1 scale.
3. Disconnect the plug from the motor con-
nector.
4. Touch one ohmmeter test lead to the blue
motor wire connector, and the other test
lead to connector pin 5 (white-orange wire).
The ohmmeter should indicate between
2.4 and 3.6
Ω
(main winding).
5. Touch one ohmmeter test lead to the blue
motor wire connector, and the other test
lead to connector pin 3 (violet wire). The
ohmmeter should indicate between 2.4 and
3.8
Ω
(start winding).
6. If either resistance is much larger than
4 ohms, replace the motor.
If the resistances at the motor are correct,
check for a failed belt switch.
If the belt switch is okay, check for an open
circuit between the motor and the machine
control electronics board.
