Barry, It appears that you did get the dryer motor wired properly and it sounds like you may have received a bad motor.

Hello Dennis, The door switch has to be connected and in the closed position for the motor to run. The other wiring also has to be connected properly.

After doing some research I have concluded that this is the correct motor for out dryer. The motor just makes a low buzz when I try to start the dryer, I also have to hold down the start button when normally I would only have to press it once. I removed the motor and tested it on my work bench with a 120V cord on the switch terminals colored yellow and gray as mentioned in another answered question. The motor spins just fine and the centrifugal switch opens up normally. So why does the motor just buzz when it is installed with the belt? Do I need a new motor?

1 Answer

Hello Matt. Yes, the motor is bad and will not start under a load. You will need to replace the motor in the unit.

Hello Randall. 12002351 is the motor your model calls for. If the terminal block is not the same, the motor should come with the instructions needed to wire it properly. Thanks.

Roger, to test the motor, you will need to label and remove the wires from the motor switch. On the switch if you place you meter leads on the red terminal and the gray terminal, you should have a reading of 1.5 to 2.25 ohms resistance If you place the meter probes across the gray and yellow terminals you should have a reading of 2 to 3 ohms resistance. If you have a 120 VAC test cord, you can attach the test terminals to the gray and red terminals ,when you plug the cord into an outlet the motor should start and run. To test the heat sensor (thermostat) remove the wires and place the meter leads across the terminals on the thermostat. There should be a "closed" circuit indicated on your meter at room temperature on all the thermostats and fuses in the heater circuit. If you heat them with a match or lighter, you should hear the circuit click and open then reset once it cools down again.
