I've got a hotpoint washer / dryer that isn't rotating the motor.
So heres an interesting puzzle for you :) -
Anyone know how the motors are wired, or just know motores well, and if the following analysis makes sense? The motor says on it AC motor for electronic speed control,
1 phase. (904/1153/10). This is UK 240v.I took the motor out and replaced the brushes, but its still dead (the rest of the machine functions).
There are 7 pins going into the motor, with a 7 block connector going in.
The wires going in are labeled 1-7 going left to right, and all are white except pin 1 = sort of purple / lilac, and pin 5 - red blue stripes.
I've stuck a multimeter on the motor, and can see that pin 2 goes into one brush, pin 3 into the other. When connected, there is about 7 ohms across the armature, i.e. across pins 2-3.
Pins 1, 4- and 5 seem connected (~1 ohms) .. Across pins 6-7 is 1.6k ohms.
The above measurement were all with the power off.
I put the mulitmeter into AC volt mode, stuck one pin on earth (chassis), and sticking the machine into slow 'tumble' mode checked the voltages which follow.
I'll put this into a little table to see if that helps: THe table was done in notepad in courier new if the formatting is a mess in your reader.
