Thank you I've watched so many tutorials and none of them told me this which was what I probably needed to know

[@rayslaughter7213]

Those motors are bi directional motors, they turn one direction during agitation/ wash cycle and the opposite way in pump out and spin. You have to test both windings

[@leletipiham8156]

Good job sir, good presentation

[@w8what575]

When u said trip the breaker…that’s what my washer is doing…so it’s in the motor wiring I need to be looking!

[@NTF-zb9wi]

What I have set up to test motors is a double gang outlet box, screwed onto a board, where the on/off for the plug is controlled by a light switch. This, in turn, is plugged into a power strip which has a breaker at the top. I have several different cords I can plug into the test outlet, depending on what type of connectors are on what I'm wanting to test. It was a bit of a hassle to wire up; but, no more so than a light switch to control any other outlet you want to be able to turn on & off.

[@bertcochran1770]

Wish I knew how to do that.

[@KevinWheeler-ii7sw]

There are a few mistakes here though admittedly using the breaker is a good idea. (I never use one). First off, some motors will just hum when you do not use the start capacitor and start winding. Also turning the shaft will start some motors but often not start all motors; hence the need to use the capacitor and start winding. This also confirms that your start winding is good. (The 2 speed and/or CW / CCW wound motors with the violet wire are often ones that need the start winding to run. While testing only the one high speed winding does not test the second winding, if the primary winding (blue wire to white wire) spins up and the second winding (white black to violet wire) will usually be fine; HOWEVER, the second winding should be tested for continuity (about 2.8 ohms) as well as no shorts to ground. Also look at winding s for any obvious signs of overheating or damage. In MOST cases both windings will be good of testing the primary winding (with capacitor and start winding included in test) and the continuity testing of the second winding. ALSO, a faulty start switch can cause a motor to not function properly. Issues are typically related to dirty worn contacts or stuck (welded) contacts. The start switch is easy to remove and open and the contacts checked and cleaned up with some fine sandpaper. The one response on the motor not running long enough to test for overheating... 3 things can cause a motor to overheat... 1-bad bearings, 2-a faulty start switch (either mechanically not disengaging the start winding or a welded start winding switch.) 3-partially shorted winding. Typically if the bearings are good and all connections good the motor will not overheat. Drag caused by bad bearings is the primary cause for motor overheating. A partially shorted winding can also cause it to overheat. Letting the motor run for a bit will show this or do a continuity test of all windings. Typical continuity test for these motors are primary winding are: blue to white wire - 1.8 ohms, start winding black to yellow wire - 8.5 ohms, secondary winding black/white wire to violet wire - 2.8 ohms. Finally on the motor bearings. these motors have oil impregnated sleeve bearings with an oil wick around them. When the oiled dries up, the bearings fail. About the only 2 ways to refresh the oil without drilling an oiler hole. The easiest is to add some oil (light machine oil only - like 3-in1 oil) around the shaft with the shaft pointing up and rotate the shaft a bit (do both sides). This will often prolong the heath of the motor but does not fill up the wick significantly. Properly oiling the wicks means popping the metal cap off the the ends of the motor and oil the wick. Getting the caps off without damaging them is not always an easy prospect. In most cases, the first method will work well enough.

[@hameedwafaAFG]

That’s alot of good info!! Thank you😁✌️ I actually did not know about oil being inside of the motor by centre area of shaft or somewhere closer to it .

[@justinfoster6135]

Thank you😊 a long time ago i got a breaker same one as yours and i did this for my washer motor

[@hameedwafaAFG]

Justin Foster it really helps, eh

[@justinfoster6135]

Now I'm not afraid to plug in a motor I wire because of the breaker

[@hameedwafaAFG]

Justin Foster lol

[@juanrivas1273]

Perfect, lets cheats. Just what i need. Thanks

[@williamchaves8938]

Clear and to the point. Thanks

[@hameedwafaAFG]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tino8080]

is it mainly the white lead & black wire on motor you hook up pigtail wire to?to test my motor what terminals i plug it in to..i couldnt see in your video

[@hameedwafaAFG]

tino8080 if you have wiring diagram it is easy of you don't have wiring schematic, then find the ground put your neutral on ground and keep trying on other terminals one by one to find the exact one 😀

[@tino8080]

hameed wafa ok thanks for replying i dont have a reset safety Switch like you have..so theres a chance ill trip a breaker by trying different terminals?

[@tino8080]

the pigtail i got has alligator clip on them,black & white wire

[@hameedwafaAFG]

tino8080 it is OK even if you don't have safety switch, if you trip the breaker you can turn it on back, but if your breaker is the one with the fuse, you will break the fuse 😏

[@tino8080]

hameed wafa ok thx ill try it ,i dont have the schematics

[@NTF-zb9wi]

Does anyone know where adapter shafts can be ordered, to convert these "double flat" shafts over to threaded shafts? (Hopefully, rather inexpensively...) I have several of these 1/2hp motors (which seem to be the "stock motor" for the Whirlpool, Kenmore, etc. line); and, I have several projects I'd like to use them for ~ none of which involve putting them back into a washing machine... ;-p

[@appliancerepairshorts]

That test isn’t a sure way. The motor that you said was good could actually be bad. The reason is the motor takes some time to heat up. So 15-20 minutes to heat. It might start, but it will not restart.

[@chaoscobraflashbacks5044]

When i test each pin to the casing 1 of them pin reads 0hms. Does that mean it’s shorted

[@hameedwafaAFG]

Yes each pin should not be grounded to chase. Your motor is defective .

[@edwardhaughney9665]

I have Kenmore model 80. It is over 5yrs old. It makes a loud boom sound when it comes to the end of the cycle. Now, it makes no sound at all as it does not work at all. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@hameedwafaAFG]

Edward Haughney your door lock is probably defective, ask a handy person to by pass it for you by cutting the door lock and adding 2 wires together and that would take care of the problem ✌️

[@OsizweniDoors]

I don't have power from the control panel to run my machine. What could be the problem

[@hameedwafaAFG]

Check your fuses , centrifugal switch , door lock , there are alot of stuff to check 😁

[@OsizweniDoors]

Ok thanks. I'm busy checking now. Does the basket rotated during wash or is it just the agitator. I don't want to take out the motor to test

[@OsizweniDoors]

@@hameedwafaAFG can I test the motor while it is still in the machine cos I'm not sure if the basket rotates

[@duramax78]

But what about if the motor doesn’t take all 110v can’t you blow it up.?

[@hameedwafaAFG]

Ranjit it would probably blow the back up 10 amps fuse, Lol

[@piecetoyou8285]

HI,TAKEN THE MOTOR OUT OF THE MACHINE AND REMOVED THE BRUSHES,BUT THE ARMATURE OR ROTOR ONLY MOVES 5MM TO THE LEFT AND 5 MM TO THE RIGHT ,WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT MAY BE WRONG,ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT,

[@hameedwafaAFG]

piece toyou what kind of motor is it? Brand name and model number, is it 120 volts or 240 v?

[@piecetoyou8285]

@@hameedwafaAFG Hi, it was from a AEG Lavamat 74700 washing machine.pnc no,914 003 248 00 230 volt 2150 w 50 hz I found it was the bearing on the taco side, I changed it but I can`t change the other bearing on the other side .as it has the pressed on belt drive grooved bit.is there away to get it off without damaging it,and if i did damage it can i buy a replacement end bit

Some motor have a diferent wire ti run in reverse direction

[@CuringDaHOOD]

So why does the motor only start with a turn of the motor?

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

this was awesome I am working on a motor like the last one you tried it's called a two speed motor part # 3352287 and it's more complex than the first one for example, it was in a KENMORE 80 series washer, anyway your video was great, I am including a link to a video where I take it out of the machine and there will be a second video on how I wire it up kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX_ViXqOfth_apI
