Re: WIDL 126 Spin Problems

Thanks for that, since I didn’t find anything lying around I’ll just hope that it’s a version without an end cap. I’ll lift the machine up in a couple of weeks and see if it’s staying in place.

Again, thanks very much for all your help.

Re: WIDL 126 Spin Problems

Fixed – hopefully….

I took the motor off and looked all round it, and I saw what looked odd, it was the inside of the tacho (I could see the electro-magnets…) ❗

The armature (? wheel magnet with yellow plastic thread attached) was on the floor….

I threaded this back in to finger tight, then used a screwdriver to gently “park” it while I turned the motor spindle a fraction to tighten it slightly more. I didn’t want to overtighten it.

Washer now working!

I did a spin cycle and then a rinse cycle and they both worked fine all the way through, it’s now doing a proper wash and seems to be behaving itself.

The only thing that bothers me is that there was no plastic cover or anything over this, is that normal? I know it doesn’t really need protecting from anything under there unlike a car startermotor would, but should there be something to hold it in place rather than just screwed in? There was nothing on the floor anywhere.

But anyway, thanks for all your help, you’ve been great!

Re: WIDL 126 Spin Problems

Thanks for your fast response.

I am pretty sure I didn’t get anything wet so my first thought were the tacho just from the way it was reacting, the start/stop.

Is the tachometer one of the little blocks on the side of the motor?
Also whereabouts in the machine is the control module?

Thanks
