Wilf refers to the module fase OK?
Re: bendix washing machine not spinning
are you trying to say that there is a problem with the timer?
Re: bendix washing machine not spinning
Motor or heater with earth leakage can cause no spin problem. If you simply replace the timer unit, the problem will recur and require the timer and failing component will have to be replaced.
Bear in mind that at this point the customer will become “awkward”.

Re: bendix washing machine not spinning
thanks for your reply. what resistance reading should i be looking for on the motor and the heating element or should i get a reading of infinity
Re: bendix washing machine not spinning
No, no, no…
Heater will read the usual c.25 ohms, motor 4/5 ohms across the armature and field coils and perhaps 100 ohms across the tacho (depends on the motor – tacho won’t be the problem anyway).
You’re looking for earth leakage. Megger the element to earth and the same with the motor contacts. Nominally you can get away with 2Mohms, but I wouldn’t stake a repair on it. The electronics just don’t like it.

thanks chris i meant to say when checking with ohms scale from element and motor to earth fasetester 🙂

You insulation tester should be set to the Megohms scale to measure earthing resistance (i.e Motor terminal to earth that is.:wink:) not ohms fase! 🙂
Did you get a copy of my megger test pdf? 😉
