3. Liftthe outer tub up and disengage the
suspension rod assemblies from each comer
of the outer tub.
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.
* 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 а 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 Q between any two of the three wires:
* Bluetored-8Q
* Redto yellow-8.2
* Blue to yellow - 8 Q
Resistance can be measured at the yellow, 3-pin
connector on the inverter board or at the motor.
