I acquired a dryer motor from a Samsung dryer recently. All I got was the motor without switches. Nothing but three wires coming from the winding(s). Red, white and blue. They are all connected somehow. My multimeter measured .006 ohms between the red and blue wires. Between the white and red it was .003. Between white and blue it was .003 as well. I've wired a few dc motors but I have no experience with ac motors. I can get the motor to run but haven't figured out the secret to make it reverse when I want it to. With neutral (white) from the outlet attached to the white wire on the motor, switching power between red and blue will reverse it sometimes and sometimes not. What did I do wrong?
