Have a customer with a really smart but old AEG Lavamat 625 (ENr 605 636 113) that needs a new motor, (motor bearings are shot), otherwise machine in amazingly good shape & worth sorting.
All our wholesalers are asking the crazy AEG list price of over 200 quid plus VAT etc. This is of course ridiculous!
Anyone have a motor kicking about, or can tell me of another motor (7 tags in line, but the old lavamat style mounting) that will do, or a recon supplier?
Any (polite) suggestions welcome! 😉
Thanks
myfilAny other AC-motor from AEG with 7 wires… only thing you have to do is to change wires connector or solder wires directly and to see if motor diameter pulley is the same.

Thanks Baron
Question: are the mountings (lugs) in the same position on the newer motors?
Also, another route to go would be to change the motor bearings. I’ve never tried this on an AEG motor because it’s usually the armature that fails (I’ve found a simple brush change almost never works). Has anyone out there done a bearings change on a lavamat motor?
Re: Motor for Lavamat 625 wanted
It’s quit easily to change them… if you have proper tools like bearing extractor… the most difficult is to remove and put back pulley, but after few you gone like them instead of buying another motor.
Most of AEG motor will be done in this order:
1) Unscrew and remove carbon brushes
2) Unscrew the screws from stator lids and remove only the front lid (pulley side) and so will remain back lid together with stator and inside rotor
3) Pull out rotor
4) Unscrew tacho magnet
5) Depends on extractor length you can remove front bearing together with pulley in one shot.
6) Putting back bearings I use always old bearings like a shield in case of inaccurate hit with hammer (using some lubrifiant on axes will make you job easiest and hit can be more gently)
Be carefully at rotor… do not put “dirty” (lubrifiant) there.7) For pulley I heat her with gas lamp and will fall over axes free and after that will put on right position
8 ) At tacho magnet I use something like glue in order to stabilized him (like screws glue)Further undo 3; 2; 1 points

Yip did hundreds, very sucessfull, usually though that motor has the magnet pushed on to the shaft and has to be pulled off with the back bearing. “caw conny” though it easily brocken.
