Motor Dryer
1. Function
• The motor rotates the drum using the belt as well as the fan to expel wet air.
• This is a shunt AC motor. When the motor begins to run, a centrifugal switch shorts out the operation
coil.
• The centrifugal switch also supplies power to the heater. Thus, if the motor stops, the heater goes off
also.

• Rotational speed : more than 1600 rpm with load
• No load : 190W, 4.9A at 120V

3. Checking method of mal-function

operation.

2 Check if the door switch is in normal operation.
3 Remove the drum and check the thermostat fan.
4 Check the belt switch.
