Maytag Dryer with a Missing Neutral: Will It Still Run?
It's always the old-skool style circuits that have the most interesting electrical issues, isn't it?
In this workshop, we took a look at just one such machine. A missing neutral in the power supply doesn't have the effect that you would necessarily expect. For example, in this dryer, the timer motor runs on 240 VAC, but the drive motor runs on 120 VAC power. With a missing Neutral, the drive motor won't run, but the timer motor will. We go all into that, as well as the kind of troubleshooting mojo you need to uncork in order to recognize and solve this kind of problem.
