Now the timer is a bit of a surprise to me, it’s not what I was expecting at all, twin motor unit and sadly it dose not make the clicking sound, but this is an older model than what I had before.
And has always I couldn’t wait to setup the garden hose and plug her in.
After driving for nearly 6hrs I just could not leave it, and my hair has not gone curly so that’s O.K.
But now, can you answer a coupe of questions?
Why did the timer have two motors?
And what is that spring mechanism near the pulley in the second last photo? Thank you!
First one turns the sub-interval cams, tumble direction and tumble lengths.
Second one turns the main cam barrel.
The spring mechanism is the pecker, which is part of the door interlock.
If the drum is rotating in any direction the pecker will be pushed away by the belt on the pulley which in turn stops the door release button from operating the lock, it's all to do with resistance in the cable, like the breaks on your peddle cycle.
i am thinking one motor drives the program timer while the
other one drives the switch for forward/reverse tumble action?
good that there are plenty of cool vintage washers over in
the U.K. and europe too!
