SERVICING
40
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing this unit. Multiple power
sources may be present. Failure to do so
may cause property damage, personal injury
or death.
1. Remove the motor leads from its respective connection
points and capacitor (if applicable).
2. Check the continuity between each of the motor leads.
3. Touch one probe of the ohmmeter to the motor frame
(ground) and the other probe in turn to each lead.
If the windings do not test continuous or a reading is obtained
from lead to ground, replace the motor.
S-16C CHECKING ECM MOTOR WINDINGS
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing this unit. Multiple power
sources may be present. Failure to do so
may cause property damage, personal injury
or death.
1. Disconnect the 5-pin and the 16-pin connectors from the
ECM power head.
2. Remove the 2 screws securing the ECM power head and
separate it from the motor.
3. Disconnect the 3-pin motor connector from the power
head and lay it aside.
4. Using an ohmmeter, check the motor windings for conti-
nuity to ground (pins to motor shell). If the ohmmeter
indicates continuity to ground, the motor is defective and
must be replaced.
5. Using an ohmmeter, check the windings for continuity
(pin to pin). If no continuity is indicated, the thermal limit
(over load) device may be open. Allow motor to cool and
retest.

S-16D CHECKING EEM MOTORS
Applies to *PG14*****41A*
The EEM motor is a one piece, fully encapsulated, 3 phase
brushless DC (single phase AC input) motor with ball bearing
construction. The EEM motor features an integral control
module.
Note: The GE TECMate will not currently operate the EEM
motor.
1. Using a voltmeter, check for 230 volts to the motor
connections L and N. If 230 volts is present, proceed to
step 2. If 230 volts is not present, check the line voltage
circuit to the motor.
2. Using a voltmeter, check for 24 volts from terminal C to
either terminal 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, depending on which tap is
being used, at the motor. If voltage present, proceed to
step 3. If no voltage, check 24 volt circuit to motor.
3. If voltage was present in steps 1 and 2, the motor has
failed and will need to be replaced.
Note: When replacing motor, ensure the belly band is between
the vents on the motor and the wiring has the proper drip loop
to prevent condensate from entering the motor.
