Using special conduit

Here is the wiring configuration. The motor is currently configured for the higher voltage (440V 3ph).

Pulley fits on shaft snug.(key removed)

Everything about the motor is in metric units, so any pulley I use will have to be modified accordingly. Shaft diameter is ~.55in. pulley inner diameter is .5in. Pulley has been machined to fit the shaft.

qualin: Don't apologize, if you have a question just ask it. We will go through it and get a solution! The pumps are harder to find too, so it has to go along with the motor. I will be using a pump powered by a shaded pole motor. The older bigger ones from the early post FF GE/Hotpiont...

Worked like a charm! The bottom of the flange hangs low, so need to elevate the motor in order so that it will mount properly, otherwise you may break the feet when tightening the motor down.

Drill the holes out. Test the mounting holes with the motor.

To determine where the mark the foot mount holes, with the where I want it to be, I measure the distance from the flange to the very end of the machine. Then I measure the distance from the side panel to the far edge of the motor flange. I then remove the motor, and lay the machine on its...

I've changed the mount orientation of the motor so that the junction box is on the other side. I put a belt on the drum pulley to that I know where the motor will sit and it be in a good spot to where I can adjust the pulley to line up the belt.

The motor in this mounting orientation does not leave enough clearance for the junction box. Even though the motor fits, I don't like the junction box directly under the seal clamp of the outer drum with such little clearance.

Motor needs to be formatted. The feet can be mounted in different places around the motor to change its mounting orientation.

Comparing it in size to the original motor. The D71D frame is slightly smaller than the 56 Frame. Space is tight under the drum, so have to go with metric motor. The new motor has a c-face mount flange on it that has to be factored into the mounting.

Here is the replacement:

Ah ha! There's the problem!

This motor needs to go. It only has 2 speeds and won"t do very much good

Andrew: Yeah I wish I had a machine like that one too. In fact any GE FF washer with the console work light like the one above would do. If anyone has one of these that they want to get rid of, I'd be willing to part with a few choice machines just for it. I borrowed this picture from a post...

Qualin: For the mechanical side, the special belts, speed changer motor, and one of the idler pulleys will be taken out. The original motor and pump are being taken out, as well. The electrical side is more complex. Part of the circuit for the heater depends on the centrifugal switch of the...

In general I don't see that much info online about these machines. Here is a video of my thoughts as to how the mechanism works.

What is ModCDCW? Hint: What does this fan have to do with it? What do condensing dryers really need?

What is ModCDSRRW? Hint: What does it have to do with this dishwasher? What is special about the GE Combo?
