9. Remove the bare copper wire terminal from
pin 5 of black drive motor switch. See figure 18.

Figure 18 - Main and start winding measure points.
10. Using figure 18 and the strip circuit on
page 22, 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.
Resistance
Winding
in ohms
MAIN 3.3–3.6
START 2.7–3.0
 If the resistance at the motor is correct,
there is an open circuit between the motor
and CCU. Go to step 11 to check for belt
switch problem.
 If the Start winding resistance is much
greater than 3 ohms, replace the motor.

11. Check the belt switch by measuring
resistance between the two light blue wires,
as shown in figure 19, while pushing up the
belt switch pulley.

Figure 19 - Checking the belt switch.
 If the resistance reading goes from open
to a few ohms as pulley arm closes the
switch, belt switch is good. If not, replace
the belt switch.
 If belt switch is good and there is still an
open circuit, check and repair the main
wiring harness.
12. Reassemble all parts and panels.
13. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.
14. Perform the "Quick Diagnostic Test"
through Service Diagnostics to verify repair.
TEST #4: Heat System
3 Quick Check: Heater activation and
related component attributes are provided
in "Service Diagnostics ➔ Component
Activation ➔ Heater 1, Heater 2, and
Heater 1+2" for electric, or "Heat On"
for gas.
This test is performed when either of the
following situations occurs:
3 Dryer does not heat
3 Heat will not shut off
