Re: Hotpoint WM62X Motor Speed Problem?

I’ve had a look at the video. Motor is very similar but the tacho magnet is not the same. Magnet is held onto the end of the motor shaft by a dome headed Philips screw.It’s tight and not broken at all. Is it a coil around the magnet?
If so, this coil is held in place by a metal bracket secured by two small Philips screws. There does not appear to be any circular adjustment around the magnet as the “coil” terminal block is housed into the end of the motor casing to prevent it turning.
Is the motor speed control on the PCB then?

That’s the one!
So the “front” of the motor is the brushes end?
The circular device around the end of the shaft here is a tacho then? It seems to be floating around inside it’s bracket somewhat. Is that the problem?

Thanks for your replies.
No broken or loose wires at either the motor end or at the PCB end.
6 terminals/wires.
Have checked the motor but no manufacturers id on it. There is a label with 904/1158/10 marked on it, and states “For Electronic Speed Control” RPM 800/15000 and Wo 80/220.
There does not appear to be any seperate metal casing at the front pulley end of the motor. There is a circular device around the rear end of the motor with two yellow wires connected to it which emerge from inside the motor.
