Hoover and possibly others are advertising machines as having ‘advanced brushless motors’
well I have a machine which is both 10yrs old and from a duff manufacturer (Servis M9303 washer dryer) but that has a brushless induction motor so whats the big deal?

Re: Induction Motors
Washing machines made fifty or sixty years ago had ‘brushless’ induction motors.
In the past few years many manufacturers have introduced 3 phase brushless motors, a totally different animal altogether. 😉
Same basic principle though Jim.
Kinda akin to claims made of a certain washer dryer methinks. 😉
The difference is the addition of an inverter card to use a DC motor which several manufacturers have been doing for a while. The ISE10 and ISE5-2 both have used these for some years so, in any event, it isn’t anything new really.
But some people will peddle any old line to get a sale. 😉

Re: Induction Motors
The LG direct drive machines have a brushless motor but also have the advantage that there’s no belt to break or fall off.
Re: Induction Motors
thanks for answers guys
so does my machine have a single phase motor then? I assumed the little module/capacitor combo made a 3 phase supply for it from the domestic mains.
Motor is 512005704 (made in Romania, with the big pulley on the end driving a basic v belt)
