DRIVE MOTOR & CAPACITOR
Refer to page 4-12 for the procedure for ac-
cessing the drive motor and capacitor.
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off gas supply to dryer.
IMPORTANT: Discharge the capacitor by
touching a 20,000 Ω resistor to the terminals
a
nd chassis ground.
3. Disconnect the plug from the motor con-
n
ector and the wires from the capacitor.
4. To test the motor capacitor:
a) Set the ohmmeter to the R X 10K scale.
b) Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the two
capacitor terminals. The meter should
indicate a low resistance, and then gradu-
a
lly increase towards infinity.
5. To test the drive motor:
a) Set the ohmmeter to the R X 1 scale.
b) Touch the ohmmeter test leads to mo-
t
or plug pins 6 (white) and 7 (blue). The
meter should read approximately 4 Ω.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
