Capacitor, Motor Start

Hello Guillermo, Thank you for the question.You can use a multi meter to test the Ohms.Place the meter leads across the terminals, the display or indicator should deflect a "closed" circuit (infinite resistance) and drop back down to an open(no resistance) circuit, if it is good. Hope this helps!

Hi Angel, Thank you for your inquiry. You might be able to but an off brand capacitor might also not work correctly inside of your appliance. I hope this helps!

Hi Carmen, Thank you for your inquiry. First and foremost you must disconnect the power and turn off the hot and cold water supply to your appliance. First you will have to remove your control panel, there are screws on the side of the control panel that you have to unscrew. They can be either in the front of on the back corner. Some models have a cover on either side of your control panel, so you will need to remove those first to be able to see your screws. Once you have your panel unscrewed, slide it forward slightly and then you should be able to lift it up and flip it over and out of your way. Disconnect the lid switch and then remove the two retaining spring clips that hold the appliance body to the frame. Lift up the lid of your machine, then grab the body and lift it carefully off of the appliance. Now that you have the body off of the machine you should see your capacitor (which looks like a black cylinder) attached to the back panel of your machine. There is a little plastic clip holding the part in underneath of it. Using a flat head screw driver, pop that little plastic piece away from the capacitor to release it. Now that the capacitor is out, you can now unplug it from the appliance. Remove the foam shield from the old capacitor and place it on the new one. The foam shield protects the part from any water. Once you have done this, reverse these steps to put your appliance back together. Good luck with your repair.

Hello David, thank you for your question. The motor capacitor is part number PartSelect Number: PS11746660 and is mounted to the floor of the dryer by the motor. I hope this helps!

Hello Tamatha, Thank you for writing. We suggest testing the Water Inlet Valve. Set your multitester to the ohms resistance scale X 1. Place each of the meter's probes to one terminal. Because the reading can vary from brand to brand and from model to model, there is no one reading you should receive. However, if your test produces a reading of infinity, then the solenoid is bad and the water valve should be replaced. We hope this is helpful!

Hello Joshua and thanks for writing. It certainly sounds like a faulty Lid switch issue PS334230 check for signs of damage and replace it if needed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.

Hello Ralph , Thank you for the question. This sounds like the sock may have burned out the pump, PartSelect Number: PS11741239 and it will need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Hello Tom, Thank you for your inquiry. I would check the power going into the capacitor using a volt meter. Check the belt and pulley as well. Also check the wiring going to the capacitor for any visible damage. Hope this helps!

Hello Richard, thank you for getting in touch. We have researched your model and would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: drive motor coupling, part number PS1485646, drive motor, part number PS11743427, gearcase, part number PS341974, and water inlet valve, part number PS334646. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!

Hi Denise, thank you for your question. There are a number of parts that could cause that issue. You may want to check your lid switch, and your motor capacitor there. If those parts are fine then you may have to look into your motor or timer being the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
