Whirlpool 4322616 manual Start Capacitor

Check the high-speed windings by testing between the blue and white wires. A resistance reading between 3/4 ohm and 2 ohms should be present.

Check the low-speed winding by testing between the violet and the white wire. A resistance reading between 1 1/2 and 3 ohms should be present.

Check the motor overload by testing between the white and white-black wires. There should be 0 ohms resistance.

START CAPACITOR

To test the start capacitor, remove the wires from the capacitor leads.

Discharge the capacitor using an insulated screwdriver.

With the meter to the R X 100 scale, place the meter leads on the capacitor leads.

The meter needle should deflect toward “0” and then reverse toward infinite resistance if the capacitor is good.

Is there is no needle deflection, the capacitor is “open”.

WATER TEMPERATURE SWITCH

To test the water temperature switch, set the wa- ter temperature switch to warm wash/cold rinse.

Remove the brown-red wire and the yellow-red wire from the switch.

Test between the brown-red terminal and brown terminal for continuity.

Test between the green-black and yellow-red ter- minals for continuity.

Set the water temperature switch to hot wash/ warm rinse.

Test between green-black and brown-red conti- nuity.
