My washing machine was going through its cycle on its third wash of the day when suddenly there was a loud bang and smoke came out of the top of the machine with a nice electrical smell , blowing the plugs fuse also.
iv took the machine apart and looked at the motor , brushes are fine . is there a way of testing the motor using a multimeter , balancing etc?
the suppressor looks blown L & V inputs are black could it just be this or would something worse have caused this ???
the machine itself was left in the house when i bought it 2 and half years ago.
also on the seal to the door over the years a black dirt deposit has accumululated is there anything i can use to get rid of this ?
