GE dryewr motor wiring

[jeff1]

Hi all,

Can't find a schematic showing the wiring on the motor for this dryer. I got them all but the Black and the Lavender.

Attached is the closest that I had.

Thanks , Jeff.
On these inline terminal switches, are they numbered from 1 -6 from top to bottom or bottom to top consecutively, or are 1 and 2 turned around?

Another thing, the numbers on the square switches and the inline switches work the same, right? Can the inlines be changed?

Update on this dryer: I went ahead and put power to it. It runs and heats, but it seems to have a little hum to it. I may put another bas motor on it. That or I set the clamp at the blower housing too far back. I set it all the way back to the motor. The reason I did this was it did not seem to be enough shaft to put the blower wheel on straight.

I trhink I will loosen that and the blower wheel now that I have the whole thing in and let it adjust itself. Maybe it will pull things back out and show the black rubber between the motor and the clamp at the blower housing like in the next to the last picture on that link to the motors.

You mean the built in motor switch?, if yes, no it cannot be changed.

That should be good....loose and it may travel forward and hit the housing.

If I have read this correctly, no the numbers don't normally go in order. Heat switch wires ( often #1 and 2 ) can be revered as they are just an open or closed switch for the heat and don't do anything for the motor running.

So, 1 and 2 are not always for the heat circuit.

Thanks

Most ( all? ) are today, some older ones like Westinghouse used different # terminals for the heat switch.
