Thanks for your replies The AWB135 also available in white, but I prefer brown machines because they are more unusual (and I like unusual things because I'm not like everyone else!). Glad you liked the videos, I didn't thought they was still online because I stopped to use YT since the...

Disassembled This is a very easy machine to service, all parts are accessible when you took apart the body. You can see in the background a diy done by my father to move more easily the air compressor !

Behind the control panel: The timer, half load switch, pressostat and line filter.

One more pic Sorry for the dust !

Hi there, here are some pics of my Philips T635 / AWB135 washing machine. I get this for free because the spin didn't started due to worn carbon brushes. It's the entry level model so the second rinse has a heating sequence because it is the start of the 30°C delicate program (n°5), the next...

@ matchboxpaul : The "Slimstar mkII" machines are quite common in France, they are called "Cylène", the motor is a brushed type with permanent magnet with speed controlled by an electronic circuit. The spin drain starts at 200rpm and increases until the tub empties, they are lightweight because...

Awesome machine ! Hi, very nice machine, it looks very well built. I'd be really curious to know how the electrical circuits are made on that one.

Hi, beautiful machine, the timer is a "Sibel" made in France.

Hi and happy new year ! Good job on fixing the motor wiring. When I find an unknown asynchronous motor I make measurements with ohmmeter on all of the possible combinations of the motor terminals and report the measurements on a list like this : 1/2 = 78 Ohms. 1/3 = 87 Ohms. 1/4 = 44 Ohms...

Hi, very nice machine, another solution is to put the wires in shrink tubes, I did this on a machine of my collection, it works very fine.

End of the modification A jumper wire is added between timer 26 and 28. The wire that goes to the 22 of the pressure switch and the wire that goes to the 1D of the half load button are connected together by another jumper (the 6.35mm connectors are insulated with a shrink tube). The dismounted...

Taking apart the internal components support plate.

Another view of the timer, without the protection cap of the fast cam.

Detailed view of the timer This is a "Sibel" timer (made in France) with two motors: The big one on the left for step by step and cam positioning (very convinient feature because the timer button is easy to turn). The shorter one on the right for the fast cam (washing motor reversing) and the...

Taking apart the control panel block:

The modified diagram and a small circuit description: On the left there is the 220V line and the main switch. Then the step by step timer motor controlled by the 64-58 switch for cam positioning, A-B for going to the next step, 31-25 for temperature control and 33-39 for reduce the final spin...

Hi, these Arthur-Martin machines are very nice (click on the link to see the pics on my photo album) but they are strangely designed, the half load function can be used only on delicate programs. After making a slight wiring mod (by changing the order of the half load button and two timer...

Thanks for these interesting infos.

Wow! great job.

@turnamat: This image reminds me something, we've ever met on a Facebook group if I remember ? @tomturbomatic: Yes, the interest of washing machines has started when my father has replaced a bearing on his Brandt Statomatic 418 (bought new in 82).
