Default INGLIS WASHER WIZ WANTED: MOTOR TESTING ISSUE


"BUGSEY" wrote in message
ups.com...
I am looking for help on troubleshooting this Inglis direct drive2
speed washer.
The red wire is line, yellow is neutral. I bought a new motor (used),
my washer spins but no agitation. After testing the red wire what would
be the other line wire to test for the opposite direction. Are these
Inglis motors ever defective and work in one direction only? Am I
correct that the wash and spin cycles are effected with a change of
direction of the motor? Any help would be much appreciated, Richard

Generalizing:
If there are only 2 wires and the supply is AC voltage. It is a one way
motor.

If the motor is DC, there must be a controller to switch the polarity of the
motor.

IF AC and you insist it is 2 way, there must be 3 or more wires.
