Re: Capacitor questions
Hi Frank, I'm back. The wedding went well. I'm reviewing your post in order to begin checking circuits and have a couple of questions before I start so let me lay out what I am to do along with my questions.
Unplug the machine
Disconnect V1,V2, X1 and X2 from the switch
Do I also disconnect Z and the motor cap from the switch?
To check the motor, check continuity on the motor wires between V1 to Z, Z to X1 and V1 to X1. X2 to V2, X2 to Motor side of the Cap, Motor side of Cap to V2
To check the switch, connect one test lead on R (all power removed) push one Small Black Button and check continuity to V1, V2, X1, X2 and Z plus the non motor side of the capacitor. Push Red button and then Push the other Small Black button and check the continuity same as above. Push Red button. Now push one Small Black button and the Large Black button at the same time and repeat the continuity test. Push Red button and repeat the test pushing the other Small Black Button and the Large Black button at the same time.
Remove the one test lead from R and connect to S. Repeat the test above.
Do V1,V2, X1 and X2 remain disconnected for the test above with R and S and do I also disconnect Z and the motor cap for this test?
Besides my questions, is this complete or is something missing?
Thanks, Jim
