There are 36 poles on the stator; 12 permanent magnets spaced around the rotor. - Page 43 The hall sensor determines the speed and direction of the motor. It also can read that the load is off balance when the drum speed fluctuates. Test point - Voltage Testing Hall Sensor at Stator Result (Hall Sensor) (2) (4) (1) (3) (5) If measuring voltage from the Main PCB Assembly to the Hall Sensor, use the following steps:...
- Page 44 7. To measure output signal voltage from the hall sensor, carefully move test leads to terminals 1 to 4, blue and gray. Slowly rotate motor rotor by hand. You should read a pulsing 10 Vdc. If 10 Vdc is measured from 1 to 4, move lead on blue wire to red wire, terminal 2.
