Troubleshooting and Repairing a no-go motor problem in a Whirlpool Dryer

[@jamesbain620]

This video was awesome!!! You not only saved me from buying a new dryer, but also got a very valuable crash course in reading a wiring schematic THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

[@bert5959ify]

Thank you again. I’ve watched one of your videos about a year or 2 ago and it has definitely changed my diagnostic techniques and saved me a bunch of time. Especially on that style whirlpool. Those timers are garbage. High voltage contacts burn up. You can clean them up once, but it doesn’t last. $65 bucks later and your good for another few years with a new junk timer.

Perfect....I found by schematic and ringing ot....but was verified by yor video with the jumper for the fix.....thanx for the clarity....nice job....!

Just had a maytag technician come out. He states that I had a bad motor. I had already tested it and knew it was good, but was not sure on how to do a test on the timer. I had tested power, but as you pointed out, forgot the neutral return was also needed. Same timer as you showed, and also put in a temp connection until I get a replacement timer. Thanks a bunch for going over how to read a schematic for the dryer.

Awesome very clear explanation of a repair dryer love your channel

[@DIYuntilDAWN]

This video was a huge help, I had the exact same issue with the timer on my dryer. I was able to open the timer and found the little nub on the end of the contact bar for the Tan wire had popped out. I was able to replace it and fixed my dryer at no cost in parts.

What would be the drawback or result of the T-W never in OPEN? Thank you for this great video

JUST A NOTICE!!! My dryer would not start. I checked everything, EVERYTHING, before taking it apart to test the motor. When I had performed the continuity test on the white & blue wire connect and then the white & black wire connect into the motor switch, everything was good. SO!! I did a VOLTAGE TEST where I put a jump wire for the door switch to mimic the door being closed. I put my multimeter on ACV 250. I plugged the dryer in. Set the timer to heat dry and pushed the start switch. BOO-YAH!!! It worked. So then I removed the multimeter probes from the connection and tried the start switch again. It is still working. APPARENTLY when I had pushed those probes into the wire harness, I snugged up a loose wire. EVERYONE told me that it was VERY rare that a motor would go bad on a Whirlpool dryer, especially a 3 year old dryer. I was about to load this dryer up and take it to a parts shop to put a new motor in. WHEW!!! Saved a few hundred dollars by checking everything.

6:53 is something that I often forget about and in the field confuses me, thanks for clearly it up.

Wow - saved me a huge headache.

SON OF THE SAMURAI you're a truly Sensei. Today ( 05.19.2022 ) we missed the presentation of your video ( zoom meeting) for troubleshooting the non working gas range. Do you think is possible to uploaded on YT platform ? Thanks for your superb videos

[@mohnewyork1082]

When you was jumping the timer contact t/ w did you push button start?

[@molohe39]

Perfect job MR

[@manninghr1]

awesome tutoring.

[@Sctronic209]

Great video👍👍👍👍

[@steveweyerts]

Problem when I press the start button it does not close. I no longer have 120V. I have replaced the switch and it worked for a couple weeks. I take it apart and put it back together and it works? Door switch? Intermittent?

Hi. I’m trying to figure out how you have the jumper wire connected to the terminals. I can’t make out how how you slid the terminals from the timer onto the jumper wire connectors. Would you mind explaining?

[@BreakAndRestore]

I have same exact Dryer and issue. However, when I measure W at the timer it is 5 volts and 0 volts on T. When I bench test the motor directly it runs.

[@patmadix172]

Knowing the flow chart

[@pauljohnson1404]

Excellent troubleshooting, thanks. What is the downside of leaving the jumper permanently? Or what is the purpose of that timer circuit?

[@stevensdiecast5266]

Too much talking about how to do it and not enough doing it. Just show us physically how to do it we don’t care about the schematics

You’re on the wrong channel.
