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.
DRIVE MOTOR
Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
Turn off gas supply to dryer.
Remove the three wires from the motor
connected to the centrifugal switch.
Set ohmmeter to the R X 1 scale.
Set digital ohmmeters to lowest scale.
Run winding test: Touch one ohmmeter test
lead to the white wire connector, and the
other test lead to the blue wire connector.
The meter should indicated 12.6 Ω (±2 Ω)
(run winding).
Start winding test: Touch one ohmmeter
test lead to the violet wire connector, and
the other test lead to white wire connector.
The meter should indicate 12.6 Ω (±2 Ω)
If the resistances at the motor are correct,
check for a failed or broken belt switch.
Touch the ohmmeter test lead to the
broken belt switch terminals. Lift the idler
arm assembly. The meter should should
indicate continuity (0 Ω).
If The meter should indicate an open circuit
(infinite Ω), replace the broken belt switch.
