Don't write off those red (heater) wires too soon - might be very handy to have some way to signal/switch something on _after_ the blower/motor gets up to speed. Ex: Maybe run the sander motor through those wires. Now the "On" switch results in a sequencing of blower first to ensure dust mitigation, then sander to do job.
@aserta2 жыл бұрын
I did this. When i made my wood table saw, i used one of these motors (from a much bigger unit) and wired the vacuum cleaner to start through them. It's in general a good idea to never cut wires that aren't specifically assigned to something you can't use, you never know when you might have an use for them. I just tie them up neatly, and then put a ziptied bag over them to keep dust out.

Retired appliance tech here- the BEST way to remove those type blower wheels is to lightly clamp your vise grip on the motor pulley where the belt goes(so as to not dmg the ribbed pulley with the vise-grip teeth), then pinch ONE fan blade and swing the motor rotationally till you have the vise grip as far as it can go the one direction, then give a quick WHIP the other direction while still pinching the fan blade and let go at the last second and when the vice grip strikes the table (or the floor pan, of the dryer) the fan wheel spins right off as the vise grip comes to an abrupt stop - works like a champ EVERY TIME, and you'll never break the plastic fan when changing a motor
@mannys91302 жыл бұрын
Yep! Same principal as an impact gun. :) Auto mechanic here. Very often a rusty bolt will break if it's loosened with a steadily applied torque such as via a plain socket wrench or breaker bar. In contrast, the fast impact action of an impact gun will loosen the rust and give it sharp rapidfire taps that eventually work it loose intact. Ford made an engine in the early 2000s called the "3 Valve Triton." I believe it came in V8 and V10 flavors. Anyway, they used this bizarre long sparkplug that was a bad design and it would get carbon fouled and rusty over the years until it was FIRMLY stuck in its hole. I ain't kidding either when I say they get stuck, that's S-T-U-C-K, stuck! The best way to remove them is with an impact gun while the engine is piping hot. Just get the strongest and smallest 1/2" impact you got and the tightest fitting extension and socket you got. You just make pretend that you're an F1 driver and take the truck for a race around the neighborhood, then immediately slam the plugs out with the impact without mercy. If they break, they break. 🤷🏻♂️ The ones that break were always going to be hopeless. They would've broken no matter what, especially with a ratchet. The extractor tool that gets broken plug bodies out of the hole works pretty good. Usually you'll get 5/8 or 6/8. The back ones are the worst. The impact action is critical for the job. You may think it's horrifying to imagine putting an impact on a sparkplug, but it's the only way to avoid an 8 hour book pay nightmare.

That was my experience as well. I suspect manufacturers tend to use whatever belts are the cheapest at the time to benefit from the economy of scale.

My dad once tracked down a belt replacement from a car parts dealer just by showing them the broken belt, they measured it and found something off brand that was functionally identical. 12$ vs the $50-$100 asking price for "geniune" replacement parts from amazon and specialty suppliers.

Seems to me that volt-free connection on the motor (two red wires) could be very handy - if you end up using this motor to make a tool, the red wires could be used to control a separate dust collector on a different circuit. Given the fact its designed to handle the power of an inductor - the switching mechanism can probably handle anything you want to throw at it. Another idea that occured to me is if you had some kind of multi-stage dust collection system (using multiple fans), you could daisy-chain them on a single switch with multiple power sources.

Sort of confused. He says the starter winding is smaller, creating greater resistance, leading to a phase shift. But then when he measures it with the ohmeter (when centrifical switch isn't depressed) it says the starter winding has a resistance of 1.8 ohms in comparison 3.6 when it is running. Why does the resistance go UP when the starter winding is disconnected?
@donjohnson242 жыл бұрын
Not sure about the use of the phrase 'greater resistance' in the explanation - the starter winding is just wound differently to give the temporary start up phase shift (thinner wire but fewer turns could still give the same resistance). Answering your query: The starter and main windings appear to be both 3.6 ohms d.c. resistance, but are in parallel when both are connected - not in series. Two 3.6 ohm resistors in parallel gives 1.8 ohms. When the starter winding is disconnected, there is just one at 3.6 ohms.

I laughed when you plugged it in without holding onto it or clamping it down.

Whenever I have open 120Vac connections, I tape down the wires and think about what might yank on them before I turn on the power. He should have done that.

Sometimes a motor will roll over on the table when you turn it on without something holding it down

@@Malungeon18436571 Not just sometimes! Due to conservation of angular momentum, a sudden start of rotation inevitably produces a perpendicular torque. You see this all the time on BattleBots when robots with high-speed horizontal spinners compete. Every time they make a turn, the torque throws up one or the other of their wheels, making it look like they're dancing. They're not dancing. They're miserable. They're forced to fight day in and day out, getting their guts kicked in. And no robotic sex, either.

So if he replaced the dryer but the motor still works, then what went wrong with the dryer?

The heating element? It should have some resistance instead of shorting out

Maybe nothing. Maybe they just wanted a new dryer. I've disposed of appliances just to get new ones. Sometimes you just feel due. It doesn't happen every day but every now and again it can. And that was just the blower motor. A different motor would tumble the drum.

with a drier, if the tub bearing goes out it will cost (retail) almost half of a new unit. OTOH, most driers will last about the same as two washers, but most will replace them as a matching set because they don't know this. BTW, also consider that new units will have electronic controls, which can also be expensive.
