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

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-
