Newb Question: KENMORE 80 Series Washer AC induction motor part #3352287 how to wire it up help


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have set out to learn about AC motors, in order to do so I have taken apart an old KENMORE 80 Series clothes washing machine and am just wondering what do I need to look for or connect to simply get the induction (asynchronous) AC motor to spin, not looking to fix the washer by any means, don't care about any of the water pump functionality just want to get the motor to spin, what are the minimal components required between the 120 volt plug that goes to the wall and the actual motor, I picked this up for FREE off of Craigslist as it was not running

 

I have watched Jeremy Fielding's How To Wire Most Motors For Shop Tools and DIY Projects: 031 direct link to wiring a washing machine motor provided, however mine is a bit more complicated as it has a SPEED know with 4 settings and an additional second two wire harness going to the motor that has me more confused than a blind goat on astraturf

 

I have included a pic of the wiring diagram which I don't know how to read (yet) hope you can learn me something
