Abstract: An electronic starting switch assembly and control methods for a dryer having a split-phase induction motor. The assembly comprises a microcontroller unit (MCU) configured to execute a control method that dynamically manages the motor's operation by monitoring the forward magnitude current. The MCU determines a stabilized startup forward magnitude current and calculates a crossover condition, allowing for precise control of the motor's transition to single-phase operation by disconnecting the auxiliary winding and connecting the heater element based on real-time forward magnitude current analysis and processing. The system can also monitor for overload conditions indicative of rotor speed drops and can re-engage the auxiliary winding to maintain motor performance. The assembly includes a housing with a heat-sink for efficient thermal management and environmental protection of electronic components.
