I took apart the programme timer block. The first switch contact was spark welded in 1 of the 3 contact points. It was possible to tear apart this spark-welded joint with the tip of the screwdriver. The top-left and top-right pieces are from the switch with spark welded joint. The bottom left...

I unplugged the earth and 6-groups of cables and checked with my multimeter. There is no short between the earth and any of the 6 terminals. The resistance between the top 3 rows are about 45 and 55 ohms. The resistance between the buttom first and third terminals are about 160 ohms. There is...

There is only one cable that has a little melt on the connector shielding. I took 2 pictures of the melted insulation and one picture shows another connector without melt. You can see the difference. The melted insulation is on a connector that goes to electro-mechanical programme timer I...

Hi everyone, I am back again after more than 2 years. My mother was happy that her machine was working without problems. But now we have a problem: Machine works normal and goes through washing cycles as before. Gets water, washes, spins and pumps out water. But when the big final spining must...

I was not so good with youtube, but made it with vimeo. First, after capacitor fix. But the belt slips on pulley, needs adjustment. Video from the back of the machine. I checked all wire connections to pressure switch, made them more tight. No corrosion on the cable attachments. Took out...

Sesteve you were right in the very beginning of my trip on repair. I started the wash machine by removing the belt, noticed that the motor was able to turn alone, but was weak to move the belt. I changed the capacitor and the motor worked fine. Just as before. 32 years after it was built, the...

I want to thank every one of you who are helping me so far. @ Rolls Rapide The idea of some internal contacts being damaged of the electro mechanical control block scares me because there are many cables coming on top and bottom of it plus god knows how many moving parts are inside. Looks...

"Might just be a timer microswitch if so... " This, I did not understand I am afraid to burn the windings of the motor by making a wrong connection by hard wiring. On the other hand, I am pretty sure about my own Ohm measurements which I gave details above.

wft2800 I thought about it but I do not have a variac and I am not sure which wires are to be connected. I have 6 wires as I explained above. I have 220V and 110 V and 7 V AC with 60 Hz at my disposal. There is a sewing machine pedal to change the speed but it is for a low power sewing motor...

When I compare these results to the german specification page values that I posted above, I think they are reasonable for me to think that the windings are intact. Please let me know your evaluation. If someone needs translation of the german specs, I can do. I also tested the capacitor as...

I have made a simple diagram showing the motor pins and possible combinations of the pins. There are 6 pins. I checked all pins with respect to the outer metal shell of the motor, found no continuity. Then I checks the resistance of all combinations and found the following results in my hand...

This machine blongs to my 82 years old mother. Suddenly it's main motor stopped turning one day. I opened the back and top covers. The water is filled to the middle of the glass front door. Water pump works fine to fill and to empty the machine. The electro-mechanical program switch block...
