Special Troubleshooting and Access Tips

The front panel can be removed to give you
access to the motor and motor connectors for
resistance readings. This prevents moving the
washer from its installations.
With the front panel removed, and the motor
connector exposed, you can check the motor
windings. They are color coded in the schematic
as black, blue, and red.
Black is #1 Winding, Blue is #2 Winding, Red is #3 Winding
Note: Resistance is 2.8 ohms which is within
approximate range for winding resistance. Check 1
to 3, 1 to 2, and 2 to 3.
The tachogenerator resistance is also read from
the front. The leads are located on the right upper
and center of the block.
With volt/ohmmeter probes attached to the right
and center leads, the reading should approximate
the one in the picture. With a required resistance
of 184 ohms, this reading is within the acceptable
range. The information is provided in the sche-
matic. Remember to access the tachoenerator
leads from the front.
To check for magnetic properties of the magnet
on the dispenser door, hold an ordinary metal
paper clip to the magnet with the door open (see
photo below). If the magnet in the dispenser door
will not hold the paper clip, replace the magnet.
