Half load/distributor motor error: synchronous

From Service Manual 139337, p.29:

1.Check the connections for the Distributor Motor and Micro Switch connectors.

2.Measure the drive motor winding resistance at the main control connector. Expected: 2 to 6 ohms between winding pairs.

3.Rotate the drum by hand and check for free rotation. Inspect the belt and pulley for glaze or wear; a slipping belt mimics a motor fault under load.
