Motor Thermal Protector; Motor Start Capacitor - Whirlpool ADVANTECH CAE2761K Installation, Operation And Service Instructions

Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

MOTOR THERMAL PROTECTOR

Refer to page 4-11 for the procedure for ser-
vicing the motor.
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Disconnect one of the wires from the mo-
tor thermal protector.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
4. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the ter-
minals of the motor thermal protector. The
meter should indicate a closed circuit (0 Ω).

MOTOR START CAPACITOR

Refer to page 4-11 for the procedure for ser-
vicing the motor start capacitor.
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Discharge the capacitor by touching each
of the terminals with a 20,000 Ω (red, black,
orange) resistor to ground.
3. Disconnect the wire connectors from the
capacitor terminals.
4. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1K scale.
5. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the ca-
pacitor terminals. The meter should quickly
rise to a low resistance, (see the Illustra-
tion), and then gradually fall to a high re-
sistance. To repeat the test, reverse the
ohmmeter leads. The result should be the
same if the capacitor is good.
