The schematic shows the PB is in parallel with the motor relay NO contact
and a solid state circuit board called "even heat control". After start up,
the PB is sealed by this motor relay contact providing 240V across the motor
windings. No ideal why both sides of the contact are at the same potential
before start up - goes against theory. Too many other things to do right now
but when I get around to it I'll open the control panel up and measure it
again.

I'm thinking you're then measuring a voltage from that board...
