Disengage
4. Pull the outer tub assembly out of the washer
cabinet.
Caution: Care must to taken when reinstalling
and sealing the drain hoses to the outer tub to
ensure there is no water leakage.
Motor Assembly
•
The washer has a direct drive pulse width
modulation motor that does not utilize a belt,
transmission, or mechanical brake.
•
The motor assembly is composed of a coil
wound stator, Hall sensor, and permanent
magnet rotor.
•
The motor varies speed and torque when
the pulse width modulated voltage from the
inverter changes frequency.
•
The motor reverses rotational direction when
the inverter reverses electrical polarity to the
motor.
The washer motor has an approximate resistance
value of 8 Ω between any two of the three wires:
•
Blue to red - 8 Ω
•
Red to yellow - 8 Ω
•
Blue to yellow - 8 Ω
Resistance can be measured at the yellow, 3-pin
connector on the inverter board or at the motor.
