Whirlpool Thin Twin - Manual (Page 27)

Check the high-speed windings by testing between the blue and white wires. A resistance reading
between 3/4 ohm and 2 ohms should be present.
Check the low-speed winding by testing between the violet and the white wire. A resistance reading
between 1 1/2 and 3 ohms should be present.
Check the overload by testing between the white and white-black wires. There should be 0 ohms
resistance.
START CAPACITOR
To test the start capacitor, remove the wires from the capacitor leads.
Discharge the capacitor using an insulated screwdriver.
With the meter on the R X 100 scale, place the meter leads on the capacitor leads.
The meter needle should deflect toward “0” and then reverse toward infinite resistance if the capacitor
is good.
Is there is no needle deflection, the capacitor is "open”.
WATER TEMPERATURE SWITCH
To test the water temperature switch, set the wa­
ter temperature switch to warm wash/cold rinse.
Remove the brown-red wire and the yellow-red
wire from the switch.
Test between the brown-red terminal and brown
terminal for continuity.
Test between the pink and yellow-red terminals
for continuity.
Set the water temperature switch to warm wash/
warm rinse.
Test between pink and brown-red for continuity.
