    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:

The dryer won't start.

I performed the Field Service Diagnostic procedure and received an error code 009. "eERROR_DRUM_MOTOR The Drum Motor Error is detected when the Centrifugal Switch does not change within a certain period of time after the Drum Motor relay has been turned on or off.

I replaced the Drum Motor. No effect. Same error code.

I have measured all the thermostats to determine if they were failed. Zero or near zero resistance.

I measured the "broken belt" cutoff switch. 

I verified the house current at the plug.

The Technical Service Manual is not very helpful...it is located here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14w3Fs0MZ9pNPLyQt2VXPTVp1XF9f_FPa/view

When the dryer is powered and then the Start button is selected, you can hear a relay click and the timer counts for a couple of minutes, but it then just stops with nothing else happening.

 

1. How do I determine if the new motor (or original motor) is good?

2. What should I measure/troubleshoot next?

3. There aren't many "parts" left, other than the main circuit board...thoughts?

Thanks!

Scott
