one for the eluxgroup specialists… aw1001

tricity aw1001

wouldnt spin properly, so customer put on spin on its own, and it jerked once left, and jerked once right on drum then failed to spin

nasty nasty motor burn out smell from motor.

gut instinct is terminal, as it certainly smells like its cooked the motor, dyson style, it worries me because the machine is only almost 3 years old?!

So are theyre any known issues with this model?

Re: one for the eluxgroup specialists… aw1001

def not that, because i spun drum by hand before peeking underneath to make sure the bearings had collapsed. ran very smoothly but with the resistance you would expect, and wen i looked underneath the belt was all present and correct. definitely the more electrical burning motor smell rather than burning rubber 😡 .

Likely armature damaged, segment raised etc, new motor should sort it.

Take motor off & examine it.

Re: one for the eluxgroup specialists… aw1001

Will do that, but what actually causes the motor to blow like that? its not been heavily used – 2/3 washes a week – and will it have shot the pcb as well? Customer has already inferred replacing machine if it is the motor so will check Armature for lumps later today, didnt notice any when i checked the carbons, which were fine. Could it have blown the coil instead?? although i did get continuity but would that actually mean anything?

machine spec:
PNC 914211108(01)
SN 62900782

motor spec as follows:
14014714
MCA 38/64-148/ZN37
LINE C04 WK20/06

on a wider scale a bigger concern for me is this might be a common fault on these motors if it was a dodgy batch as we have sold a fair few aw1001s around that time…

already replaced 2 even more youthful ones where the pcb has popped when the interlock failed…

Funnily enough I have just had a customer on the phone with a two year old ZWF1632W.

He wants me to go and give him an estimate. He was advised by Currys who sold him the machine to get an independent assessment which he already has done but now this other chap is refusing to get any further involved.

Apparently he told this customer that the armature had lost a segment and blown the main PCB but says his suppliers are putting pressure on him to steer clear. 😕

Can’t for the life of me see why Currys don’t examine the machine and sort it out with Zanussi themselves TBH.

Does anyone know the price of the motor 1246179081 and PCB 97391452111002/8 (configured) Neither of them listed at Masterpart ?

Jeesse…It took an age to load the page, even on a 20meg connection and when it finally did I got, ‘temporarily out of service’ :rolls:

Will try it in the morning, thanks for the link though. :tup:

in case its still down, connect lists these:

module @ £127 retail (matches prt no)
motor @ £205 retail (done on model no as prt no not recognised)

dont know which motor it is as teh pic wont show the label, all i have to offer is that its a 1600rpm sole 😆

would it be entirely feasible to consider if its a currys model it could have had an inferior non-standard (i.e cheaper alternative) spec motor fitted in order to provide a machine at a stupidly low price, which is why currys now dont want to get involved???

Re: one for the eluxgroup specialists… aw1001

Truth to tell, I don’t want to get involved either but at least I have some idea of the prices so that I can ring him and let him know. 😥

Re: one for the eluxgroup specialists… aw1001

332 + callout is probably still cheaper than 400…

…by about 2 lucky dips :P:P:P
