White Knight tumble dryer - drum not turning
The White Knight is a run capacitor system i.e. the start and run windings
are both energized when the motor is running. A capacitor start motor is
usually much bigger and has a means of disconnecting the start winding and
capacitor once the motor is running, either by the starter or a centrifugal
switch.
Ah, that's a PSC (permanent split capacitor) motor. Low starting torque
but simple, cheap, and generally reliable.
