will have a red label on it. The belt that goes with it
will have red lettering on it.
Diagnosing Drive Motors
The motor requires 120 VAC.
Resistance values at the board connector J511 are:
• 1/2 horsepower motor: brown/white and
brown/yellow should read approximately 3.1
ohms.
• 1/3 horsepower motor: should read
approximately 3.8 ohms.
Motor Removal
1. Unclip the hall sensor from the motor.
2. Unclip the main harness from the motor
connector by pushing down on the connector
clip. The clip is large enough that it can be done
with one hand. The motor side of the harness is
secured in place.
Mode Shifter
The mode shifter consists of a motor that operates
by receiving 120 VAC from the control board, a
micro switch, and a spring and clutch. It engages or
disengages the clutch with the transmission pulley,
depending on whether the cycle is in spin or agitate.
3. Remove the two 1/2 in. hex bolts that secures
the motor to the platform. When reinstalling the
bolts, torque to 170 in. pounds.
Important: If removing the motor with the washer
leaning back, be sure to support the weight of the
motor, as it will drop away from the platform once
the second bolt is removed.
