Dryer Motor Centrifugal Switch

Example shown is for a Whirlpool dryer. All dryer motors operate similarly. Some centrifugal switches are separately replaceable (like this one); some are not.

For an electric dryer no-heat complaint where you've checked everything else and still not getting heat, that only leaves a bad centrifugal switch in the dryer motor. On most models, that means a new motor.

I am having a dryer model number 110.95862400 that is not heating. I have checked all the components, and traced voltage to diagnose.  My question is "Shouldn't I be getting Nuetral from my centrifugal switch on this model?"

I am getting 120 v. The ignitor did glow till the click of the coils and no gas, then no ignitor glow since. 

 

Help me figure out where my neutral is please.

So I decided to put my probe into the neutral on the motor and now it is firing up and I am getting neutral where I knew I should be. 

 

I am thinking poor connection on the motor.
