RegUS_PatOff Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 could be a bad Dispenser (280 to 340 OHMS)or a bad (Triac on the) ControllerDU1055XTSQ2 Tech Sheets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llky Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I removed the front panel and checked the little dispenser motor and it ohms about 270 or so.Must be in the control board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegUS_PatOff Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 the Dispenser may just be a bimetal latch triggered by a resistor heater.You may be able to supply 120v (and wait) to check it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegUS_PatOff Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 hhmm.. test cord .. OKbut what's with the Red & Black clips ?is Black hot ? as in AC volts ?or maybe it's just a 2-wire non-polarized plug ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Samurai Samurai Appliance Repair Man Posted December 11, 2009 Team Samurai Share Posted December 11, 2009 It's not a good picture, but there's an AC 120vac plug underneath the cord bundle. The alligator clips clip onto the spades of the wax motor. Wax motor isn't polarity sensitive so it doesn't matter which clip goes on what spade. Clip, plug, play!

In using this cord with a wax motor, it doesn't matter which clip you put to which spade. In some applications, it may be good to know that the red clip is on the neutral wire; but for testing a wax motor, machts nicht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
