SECTION 2. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS & TESTING ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT The equipment required to service Maytag products depends largely upon the conditions you encounter. Locating a malfunction will often require the use of electrical testing equipment such as: Description Analog Test Meter Digital Test Meter Clamp-On Ammeter AC Voltage Sensor Part Number 20000005 20001001 20000002 20000081 Analog Test Meter can be used to check for open or closed circuits, measure resistance, AC and DC volts, and temperature. Clamp-On Ammeter can be used to detect shorts. Overloads on the circuit breaker or fuse can be traced to either the washer or circuit breaker by checking the washer current draw. Digital Test Meter can be used to check for open or closed circuits, measure resistance, AC and DC volts, and temperature. AC Voltage Sensor can be used to alert you if AC voltage is present so proper safety precautions can be observed. The tip of the sensor will glow bright red if voltage is between 110-600 volts AC. 16008373-01 SECTION 2. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS & TESTING 2 - 1 © 1998 Maytag Corporation
