Re: Help,Bendix washing machine motor problem?

Thanks for your quick reply Dave, @Electrofix

I did check the motor with a meter (ohms) before wiring it up, I just don’t understand the numbers, ranging from 0.2 to 6.4 ohms,
I have eight wires + earth
2x red (tacho) 70.6 omhs
Green x Blue (brushes) 6.2 omhs
2x white ( ? ) 0.2 omhs
Black x Grey ( ? ) 1.3 omhs,

Thanks for the suggestion of checking the wires from the timer, but I think that is beyond my skill set, I can’t get the light of the torch to follow the wires, let alone know which wires are which at the Timer,

It’s something I’ll definitely check WHEN I’VE SMASHED IT TO PIECES !

I’ve also discovered a small PCB at the bottom of the washing machine which seems damp, seeing how my mum’s kitchen has a very damp floor and walls I am starting to believe that years sitting idle in this environment it may be the cause of the problem. And is the machine just beyond repair due to cost? I could buy a washing machine for less than £300 and it’s Brand New
