Motor Assembly
The motor assembly consists of a reversible,
variable speed, 3-phase induction DC motor, and
sensor. The motor drives the tub drive pulley with
a 7-rib belt. The sensor monitors motor rpm and
is connected to the control board. The motor
assembly is checked from the front of the washer
and removed from the rear.
Methods to Methods to check the motor assembly:
1.
Remove the Rear Cover
2.
Disconnect the motor wire harness.
On the motor plug, check for an approximate
resistance value of 5 ohms between any two of
the three wires:
•
Blue to white - 5 Ω
•
Blue to red - 5Ω
•
White to red -5Ω
•
The sensor has a resistance value of
approximately 118 Ω between the two orange
wires.
Operation of the motor assembly can be checked
by using service test modes t10. (See
.)
Mode
Speci? c failures associated with the motor
assembly can initiate error codes E50, E52, E53, E55,
E56, E57, E58, E5B, E5C, E5D, E5E, E5F. (See Service
Test Mode.)
To remove the motor:
1.
Remove the 4 Phillips-head screws from the
cabinet rear cover.
2.
