Washing was piling up, so opted to cut off the burnt plug and fit female connectors to each wire. Did one at a time, plugged in, switched on, motor runs, drum turns! Thanks again for all your help!. 🙂

Thanks for your collective wisdom!

I’ll check the harness at the cable tie point for further breaks – cheers for that tip!
I’ve replaced the drum springs a couple of times and ‘yes’ my wife says the machine does make loud knocking noises, so maybe do need new dampers.
Lots for me to consider over the weekend.

Enjoy the holiday!

Spot-on with your advice iadom!
I found a break in the wiring and two burnt/blackened connections in the plug at the motor end. Circuit board/plug at the other end of the harness showed no signs of overload.
Checked resistance readings on the motor and they are all close (within decimal places) to your figures, so I’m sure the connector damage was caused by the previous faulty motor.
Now, I need to find a new plug. Tried your spares dept. but they don’t have one and advised that it would likely only come as part of a complete harness. The plug has the name PRESSAC on it, found them on-line, but they don’t appear to make connectors.
Any suggestions as to where I might try?
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the advice iadom. The motor was purchased from a local appliance service shop and it is new. I’ll check the harness wiring as you suggest and remove the motor to check second brush/commutator.
