Thanks Paul. It's one of my favourite things to do...Experiment with colour schemes, to match my kitchen...lol

Hey there. Yeah that sounds like a good plan. My washer is over 20 years old and never had a bit of trouble with it apart from recently. Thanks Johnny

Hey everyone. Managed to get a new motor for my washer. Already wired up and it is running great, like it should do. Thanks everyone for their help. Much appreciated. Johnny.

Hey there. I have a Servis Superheat. Bought it from Ebay about 5 years ago. It works perfectly. A great machine, built to last.I repainted it though, in a black and white colour scheme.

Hey Bud and John L, thanks very much for the extremely helpful advice. I will try the tests and let you know how I get on. John, something you said there has came to my attention. The motor is actually making more noise than it should.

Hi John, yes I usually have to leave it a minute or two before I can operate the washer again.I have been looking on Ebay to see if I can get a spare motor, but I have had no luck.

Hi John L. Yes, when you switch from hi agi/spin to low agi/spin, the motor comes to a halt and just makes a humming, buzzing sound. I really dont want to get rid of this washer as it has been in the family

Lol...thanks man.I will have a look online and see what I can come up with. Thanks again for all your help. Much appreciated.

Yeah, I saw the parts diagram for this model. It does have a capacitor mounted on the motor and yet it does not show you this in the parts diagram.

Ok...I have run the machine without the belt on a spin cycle. Seems fine. I have taken the pump out, cleaned it all out and checked to see if it rotates freely, which it does. I have now reconnected the belt and put it on agitate then spin. Works fine on the normal speed. Changed the speed to...

Hi guys, I have checked the start motor switch on top of the motor. I cleaned all the terminals and put it back together again. I am now wondering if something is jamming in the agitator / spin transmission.

Hi there, thanks for your response. Well I have figured out that it is a reversible motor. I have just seen it stick on both agitate and spin cycles. It wont even work at all on the low agi/spin speed...it just makes a buzzing sound. It's one of those 4 speed combo washers.

Hey there everyone. I have an Admiral LATA401AGE t/l washer. I have never had a bit of trouble with it...apart from now. Sometimes the motor works and sometimes it sounds as if its struggling and other times it doesn't move. It just makes a buzzing sound. Do I need a new motor ? Thanks John.
