6. Using Figure 8, check for the resistance
values of the motor's Main and Start
winding coils as shown in the following
table.
NOTE: Main and Start winding coils must
be checked at the motor.
Main Wi nding:
Blue Wire in Back and Bare
Copper Wire (5 Position)
Start Winding:
Blue Wire in Back and Bare
Copper Wire (3 Position)

MAIN 1.4–2.6
START

• If the resistance at the motor is correct,
there is an open circuit between the
motor and machine control electronics.
Check for failed belt switch.
• If the Start winding resistance is much
greater than 4 ohms, replace the mo-
tor.
7. Check the belt switch by measuring re-
sistance between the two blue wires, as
shown in Figure 9, while pushing up the
belt switch tension pulley.

Figure 9. Checking the belt switch.
• If the resistance reading goes from in-
finity to a few ohms as pulley arm clos-
es the switch, belt switch is OK. If not,
replace the belt switch.
• If belt switch is OK and there is still an
open circuit, check and repair the wir-
ing harness.
8. Door switch problems can be uncovered
in the Door Switch Diagnostic Test; how-
ever, if this was not done, the following
can be done without applying power to
the dryer. Connect an ohmmeter across
P8-3 (neutral, white wire) and P8-4 (door,
tan wire).
