How To Make a Test Power Cord for Used Dryer Motors: A Technician & Hobbyist Guide

[@pl747]

Do you have the washing machine motors video? I would like to see the old style Whirlpool and GE motors and the new style too.

I do have a video on testing the old style Whirlpool motors right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2eyemqbqqyHe8U This is a great tool to have. I have test cords for the old GE motors and the newer motors too. Thanks for giving me some more video ideas! Right now I just supply power to them and give them a twist to start but I need to polish up my act and incorporate using the capacitors into a test box like I did in the video on Whirlpool motors.

From the left side it’s ground then hot then neutral. Keep the three wires on the left as shown in the video. Thanks for watching!

Why did you not leave pigtails on and then put barrel connectors on them so you can easily stick your test leads into them?

That’s an excellent question! And I don’t have a good answer. I’m just dumb that way sometimes but now that you mention it I should have. I hope people will read your comment and learn something extra! Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching too.
