    Jumper the motor directly from 110 v with a cheater cord to motor. If it doesn't run now the motor is bad. You can also test the motor with ampmeter. If the stalled motor is drawing 10-20 amps or more, replace it. Check for resistance between each motor lead. If there is continuity replace the motor.

    Test with ohm meter white(netural) to each of other(not green). Without lokking at the schematic cannot tell what other colors are for other that sppeds and reverse. I am going to look and see if I can find service manuel on this for you.

    UNPLUG unit. Put one lead of meter and leave on red; the other test on each of the other leads, you should read 1-5 ohms with meter set on RX1

    Can anyone tell me based on this schematic which leads to jumper with a cheater to see if it spins up? The schematic is at www.i-netcomputer.com


    Maytag Performa motor no spin heater OK
    Heats up but motor does not spin. Checked door switch, thermal prot at elements, thermal at motor - all OK (zeroes ohmmeter).


    Motor spins free but does not power up. All leads check against the RED lead are all infinity.

    Motor is S58NXMYN or 53-3728

    Dryer isPYE2300AYW rev 10

    Thanks
