Abstract

A centrifugal switch for a motor of a clothes dryer is provided. The end of a bracket and the end of a fixed contact piece are arranged in alignment and each has a raised contact. An upper limit piece slot is provided above the contact of the bracket inside the housing. The aligned ends of the bracket and the fixed contact piece are located above the aligned ends of a starting spring piece, a starting lower piece and a starting upper piece. A pressing head at one end of the rocking lever is located above one side of the fixed contact piece aligned with the bracket. The other end of the rocking lever extends outside the housing. When the centrifuge is not rotating, a movable sleeve of the centrifuge slides into the rocking lever to trigger the centrifugal switch.
