It may be wired in backwards. If you can reverse the leads, it'll probably turn the other direction.
That depends Daksy... If the drive motor is shaded pole, reversing the leads will do nothing to change rotation as the rotation of the armature is dependent on the shaded pole design and not current flow.
The way you reverse rotation is, you remove the laminated field windings (segments and physically flip them 180 degrees and reinstall them. That will reverse the rotation of the armature.
Sounds to me like an aftermarket replacement motor (if shaded pole). Some motors will turn CCW, some will turn CW bit they are easy to reverse by flipping the field laminations 180 degrees.
If it's not shaded pole, reversing the leads will reverse the motor.
Have a feeling it's shaded pole however. Easy to tell too. A shaded pole motor is an open frame design (where the 'works' are exposed. A conventional motor will be enclosed in a metal case.
Actually had to flip one of mine, bought an aftermarket motor for my burn pot agitator some years back and had to reverse the armature rotation. Easy to dp actually.
2 (usually Torx) screws (but sometimes hex head or slotted) will secure the field laminations to the reduction gearcase. Remove them (and the 2 screws that secure the outboard bearing), flip the field and reinstall the outboard bearing (if it was me, I'd oil the outboard bearing in it's retainer), reinstall the field lamination screws, hook the leads back up and that is it.
Takes about 5 minutes.
