Title: Microwave fan wiring question
Post by: Magnum on November 30, 2013, 08:23:42 AM
This is a salvaged microwave fan motor.

I would like to use it as a standalone drying fan.

I feel that the red wire is hot, white is neutral, and green is ground wire.

I think the 2 gray wires on the very bottom can go to a switch.

What do you think ?

Thanks.

hard to say
it may be that the circuit board wiring and parts are unrelated to the motor operation
do you have any part numbers - motor ? - microwave part number even better

Unfortunately, I threw the rest of the microwave oven away.

I looked again at the motor itself.

You are right, the circuit board has nothing to do with the fan motor.

There are only two gray wires going to it.

Gray wires are 300V 22 AWG

Motor has sticker with this info

Oh Sung Oem 10DWX1-B07 120 V .3 amps MAX Z.P. M1104151

Does it look like I could hook up a cord to the grey wires temporarily to see if the motor works ?

Thanks,
