      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological: bidness, customers, tools, troubleshooting, flavorite brewski, whatever. Webcams and microphones are open and live!
      This workshop is also a great time for any students at Master Samurai Tech to bring any and all questions about the coursework. We're happy to walk through any concepts you're having trouble with. Think of it like office hours with your teachers. 
      If you have a specific appliance problem you'd like us to talk about, post it here! We need a problem statement and a PDF of the tech sheet or schematic so we can all see it on screen share. If you have a PDF that isn't already in the File library here at Appliantology, send it to us by attaching it to the contact form. 
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.

Motor draws 7amps with belt off and set to spin. Draws 7.5 amps with belt on and agitating. Motor cuts in and out with belt on and set to spin. Amps jump from 7.5 to 22.5 each time motor cuts in and out. Capacitor or motor???

Let's test that capacitator:

Good capacitor will do this when you put your meter probes (Rx1K scale) on the terminals and then reverse 'em:

Bad, naughty, shameful capacitor will do this:

So, even when you reversed the leads, the meter went straight to 0 ohms and stayed there? If so, then yep, it has deeply dishonored you. Deal harshly with it's insolence.
