Hello all, this is my first thread in the Imperial forum index on the ‘new’ AW site. Awhile back, I created a thread in regards to the older vs newer Whirlpool 29” dryer motors on the old AW site, almost done with the Mark 18 conversion to my Whirlpool dryer. While I did check to make sure everything is wired up correctly (essentially transferred the wiring harness from the Mark 18 to the ‘63 dryer cabinet), the thing that has me stumped is the wiring to the motor. While the color coding appears to be the same (2 red wires for the heater circuit, black for live, blue for common, white for neutral), it appears that 5M, 6M, 4M are different since 6M is neutral to the wiring diagram from 1963 and 4M is the neutral to the wiring diagram from 1977 that was forwarded by Ben. Just want to double check since I don’t want to ruin the original motor from 1963.
The first photo is a wiring diagram from my friend Richard’s dryer (same dryer), second is the one in the service manual that Ben forwarded to me awhile back. Third photo is how it’s wired up currently at the moment.
