Re: creda reversair 37650

Tumble Dryer is working now. The engineer which had a look at my dryer first, must have connected one wire wrong on the timer the red and black wire. I moved it too the next terminal as shown in Picture and dryer works again.

Re: creda reversair 37650

I seen a motor for sale on Ebay
which has been removed from a Creda Electra Tumbler Dryer Model 459
Do anyone know if this is the same motor as I need for my
creda reversair 37650
The original label on the motor has come off so don’t have any details.

Could it be something else that is coursing the motor to over heat?
I ran the tumble dryer with the back off, heater and belt disconnected. and motor still overheats

Will all the seven motors look the same? is their any way to identify the right motor from a pile of old creda motors?

Do you think the reason why my motors are over heating is because they are the wrong ones?
or could their be another fault causing this problem?

Re: creda reversair 37650

I managed to get a second motor which runs for about ten minutes the stops because it over heating. All the motor I fitted look the same but are their different types?

Re: creda reversair 37650

The tumble dryer has broken down again the motor stopped turning
and became stiff my hand to turn.

Re: creda reversair 37650

Manage to find a tumble dryer similar too the one I have in a skip, remove the motor fitted the motor to my Dryer now works But not sure which way the fan blades fit on the end of the motor.
Have I mounted them correctly? shown in picture

Re: creda reversair 37650

Would you say my motor is broken from the readings I have?
Should I have continuity between both sets of windings?

[jason123p68]

Re: creda reversair 37650

Here are the resistance readings of the motor.
Between Red and Neutral = 15.4 ohms
Between brown and Neutral = 16.2 Ohms
Between Brown and Red 01.4 Ohms

If you have tried a new capacitor then you could have checked the motor for continuity and resistance at the same time.

I have checked the motor for continuity the three wires coming out of the motor two live and one neutral
I have continuity between all of them.

I didn’t check the machine live, I put one on my test leads on the live pin of the plug turned the timer to an on position,
and from the timer metered the two wires going to the motor which both had continuity.
So the timer two wires going to the motor live at the same time.

Re: creda reversair 37650

I have tried a new Capacitor
I have checked for continuity from the live pin on the plug to the two wire on the timer which are going to the motor both would become live at the same time is this correct?

Re: creda reversair 37650

Yes their is humming noise heater comes on, and the timer works.
When I power up the Tumble dryer and push the drum the motor make a different type of noise as too when pushed with no power.

I checked the motor for continuity The 3 wire coming out of the motor I presumed two of the wires are live and one is the neutral.
I had continuity between the live and neutral wires. I also had continuity between the two live wires should I have continuity between the two live wires?
If it was the Capacitor at fault should it have started when I pushed the drum?
