Haier Motor

can't find that model number online

in what way do you mean the motor is "on it's way out?"

If anything most motor problems seem to be brush failure, you wouldn't need a new motor, just a nice cheap set of brushes. I cringe at the thought of the number of machines which are trashed becasue "the drum stops going round properly", or "sparks are coming out of the motor" or "it started making a crackling noise" when I daresay 9 times out of 10 a new set of brushes would have had it up and running again no problem.

So if you can describe the symptoms of the problem, that may help find an explanation which would not require a whole new motor.

hi ariston4life

I normally always advise repair but this is a Haier!, the most rubbish machine on the market. Get a new one, pay more and get a decent machine.
 
ok ok bash haier all you like but i have to be honest and say it is a good machine i mean i paid 279 for it and it does 6-7 washes a day everyday and its 15 months old and is still working with no repairs all it is is the motor is starting to sound a bit horse, so i was thinking of just ordering new brushes for it...anyone know which ones are suitable for it?
 
Hi Ariston4life,
you may not want to hear this but you are barking up the wrong tree on this one.
I have never replaced brushes to cure just a noisy motor fault, (and I have replaced thousands).

When you notice brushes are noisy it means they are very low and the drum will not agitate.

good luck anyway.
 
"15 months old and is still working with no repairs all it is is the motor is starting to sound a bit horse"

..and you think 15 months is a respectable life span for a washing machine motor? Washing machines are NOT cheap. Spending so much money on a domestic item, and I would at least expect 5 years out of it. My Grandparents have had their matching Hotpoint set since 1981 with only the brushes replaced a few times on the washer and no repairs to the dryer and my aunt and 2 young cousins live with my gran. My aunt and uncles 1990 Logic is still in regular use in a house with 3 kids. We had a Zanussi Jetsystem for 11 years with no repairs until the bearings went. 15 months, IMO, is not on. A machine should not need a new motor after 15 months. Brushes, at a push, but not a whole new motor.

sorry but your talking about older machines that were built to last such as old hotpoints and logics, however were in 2009 now machines are not built to last except the much loved on here Mieles no new hotpoint will never last as long as the old ones and same gos for new hoovers aswell, however im talking about my BOL HAIER( that is always being singled out as rubbish) all im saying is its not that bad considering it does 6-7 washes a day every week its out lived our beko anyway( now that was a piece of crap).
 
Miele, Bocsh, Zanussi, LG, Beko - all brands I'd sooner own than a Haier. A brand new Hotpoint SHOULD still last longer than 15 months. Even an Indesit will go 2 years without a repair.
 
but thats the thing the machine is still working perfect the motor just sounds a little off and if i had to choose between haier and beko id go for haier cause beko are crap!
 
Actually, I've found Beko to be rather reliable. I had one when I first moved into my flat and that's now been donated to my friend who has 2 children and who's partner works on a building site. It's ALWAYS on and it's doing just fine. It washes efficiently, good water levels, rinses well, spins well and is not particulaly noisey. My only issue with it, is it takes bleedin' ages but this can be resolved using the quick wash button. Also, my work colleague has had a Beko for going on 3 years and it's fine, my friends parents have one and theirs is fine - thats about 2 or 3 years old now. I've heard nothing but good things about them and having lived with one, can safely say, it's the best machine to buy on a budget.
 
well my beko was complete rubbish 4 breakdowns in 6 months thats not very reliable is it and ours was on the same amount of times the haier is on and the haier is still going perfect where as the beko clapped out after 6 months... and it wasnt just bad luck with my one as my auntie had a similar model 1 month old and needed a new PCB thats not very reliable is it.
all in all id sooner go for HAIER/BUSH machines than any beko on the market.
 
now dont get me wrong i do like beko, my first tv was a beko and is still working seven years on with no repairs and my current tv is a beko thats coming up on 6 years now and that working perfect aswell and we have a beko fridge aswell and that to works great so im not dissing beko as a whole just the washing machines thats the only product by beko that ive had trouble with.
 
Just a thought

The armature in my Mum's Whirlpool is worn, it now sounds like a chainsaw every time it starts to tumble. it's been like this for a good 18 months now, it may sound horrible but at the end of the day it still washes the clothes.

Since you're getting that Hotpoint soon I seriously wouldn't bother getting a new motor, especially when the machine is still operational and just "sounds a bit rough".

It's the electronics in Haier's which are disgraceful, and make them the most unreliable machines on the market, mechanically they could be worse.

exactly my point the machine does still work but when i do get the hotpoint ill be giving the haier to my nana so i want to sort the motor out so its not as loud.
