36. MOTOR
Refer to Figure 25
a. Remove exhaust fan cover, motor and exhaust
assembly and impeller and housing. Refer to
Paragraphs 25, 26 and 27.
b. Disconnect wires from motor switch and
ground wire from motor
NOTE: Refer to appropriate wiring diagram when
reconnecting wires.
c. Remove two motor clips holding motor to
mounting bracket and lift motor out of bracket.
d. On older models without anti-rotate motor
mounts, when replacing motor, switch location
should be at 10 o’clock looking from back of
motor when placing motor in bracket. Refer to
Figure 25.
e. On newer models with anti-rotate motor
mounts, set motor into bracket and rotate until
motor seats firmly into motor notch in bracket.
NOTE: New motor cannot be used with old bracket.
TO REMOVE MOTOR SWITCH
a. Remove one or two screws holding switch to
motor.
b. Disconnect internal motor leads from switch
terminals.
NOTE: Refer to appropriate wiring diagram when
rewiring motor switch.
To Test Drive Motor:
Refer to Figure 27
1. Disconnect wires from motor switch.
NOTE: Refer to appropriate wiring diagram
when rewiring motor switch.
2. Put test meter probes on terminals 4 and 5. Meter
should read approximately one on Ohm scale.
3. Put test meter probes on terminal 4 and motor
frame. Meter should register “no reading” or
infinite.
4. Put test meter probes on terminal 5 and motor
frame. Meter should register “no reading” or
infinite.
5. Put test meter probes on terminals 4 and 6. Meter
should register “no reading” or infinite.
Manually flex the centrifugal switch in motor
and meter should read approximately two on
Ohm scale.
6. Put test meter probes on terminals 1 and 2. Meter
should register “no reading.” Manually flex the
centrifugal switch in motor and meter should
read “zero” Ohms.
