My GE washing machine motor went bad. Repair tech came out and said the motor is shot because the indicator LED is not blinking and the fuse is not blown.
Research on the net indicates that the LED is supposed to blink any error codes, so I was thinking that if the LED is not blinking at all, the board is bad and not necessarily the motor.
So I pulled out the motor and removed the control board. There are a couple of really large capacitors: G-Luxon, 820uF, 200V, 105 C temp. I measured their values in-circuit with my DE-5000 and it showed a value of 699uF. I tried it at 120Hz and at 1kHz for both of them. To be sure, I desoldered one of them and measured it out of circuit. I got the same value.
I can't tell if these caps are bad. I'm not sure at what point the capacitance is too low, and I haven't been able to find a datasheet for them. 699 is about 15% of 820, so I'm not really sure.
Can someone tell me if these are good or bad, or point me to a datasheet?
I'll attach pics of the board and one of the caps, in case it helps.
Thanks
