DRIVE MOTOR
Refer to page 4-7 for the procedure for servic-
ing the drive motor.
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off gas supply to dryer.
3. Disconnect the plug from the motor con-
nector.
4. Set the ohmmeter to the R X 1 scale.
5. Touch one ohmmeter test lead to the blue
motor wire connector, and the other test
lead to connector pin 5 (white-orange wire).
The meter should indicate between 2.4 and
3.6 Ω (main winding).
6. Touch one ohmmeter test lead to the blue
motor wire connector, and the other test
lead to connector pin 3 (violet wire). The
meter should indicate between 2.4 and
3.8 Ω (start winding).
7. If either resistance is much larger than
4 Ω, replace the motor.
If the resistances at the motor are correct,
check for a failed belt switch.
If the belt switch is okay , check for an open
circuit between the motor and the elec-
tronic control board.
