    After being almost crazy with this error I finally figured it out. In my case it was the pin that connects the wire to the carbon brush device. It was a bit loose connection in one of them. I disconnected, then took pliers and made pressure on the pin to make it tighter (not too much) and then connected again and had the feeling of a solid connection! And voila! (I also checked the speed sensor at the end of the engine with a multimeter just in case) Now it's perfect again! Thanks to the video, very professional.

    My CESET Motor has problem at speed.
    Firstly thanks to eSpares for an informative video. I found it after fitting a new set of brushes with limited success.

    After fitting the new brushes my machine completed a spin cycle and then failed on a wash cycle. Now the motor will turn (with no laundry) at slow speeds, but keeps cutting at high speed as if there’s a loose connection. Having tested the Tacho and Windings everything seems good.
    I thought the problem might be a start/run capacitor, but these motors don’t seem to require one (guessing because of the field windings). With the absence of a capacitor I decided to investigate the PCB (against even my own better judgement). I thought I’d found the answer when it looked fried with black tracks on the back and a coating on a chip, but all of this blew off to reveal a clean circuit board (apparently dust from belt attracted to electrical current). I did suspect I had found one or two dry solder joints, but I’ve made them good to no avail.
    Any connectors have been crimped a little tighter and/or blasted with cleaner, which hasn’t helped in the slightest.
    So, to all that have read this far:
    - Have you resolved a similar problem and how?
    - Any ideas on what might be causing the problem or what else I can check?
    Thanks for any informative replies.

    Hello Josh - just watched your excellent video - thanks. I ran the Whirlpool diagnostic which confirmed there's a problem somewhere with the motor. I checked the carbon brushes and they're OK but the sensor on the motor is s/c. Do you know what the effect of this fault would be? Would it prevent the drum from rotating altogether? Thanks in anticipation.

    very helpful, but can u add how to test the " thermal cut out " inside the motor , after doing all your test everything seemed good .. but 2 purple wires on mine are open circuit.. me thinks this must be the TCO,, pull out the wires and yes , took it apart , stuck small screwdriver under bimetal strip , put all back together , test with lighter , it trips and resets ... do u sell these tco

  • @kokopelli314

    Good demonstration.
    My motor running but suddenly pulling 2x the current, humming and then shuts down halfway through cycle. Thermal switch I presume.
    Any idea why it's drawing so much current?

  • @alial-shaikhly873

    I have a bush F841QW and it is displaying excessive vibration. But this only happens during a 40 degree or 30 degrees wash cycle and the excessive vibration only starts after about 20 minutes of wash. But once it starts, it continues during the rinse cycle but not during the spin cycle. But it doesn’t do it during the same cycle but at 20 degrees instead of 40 or 30 degrees.
    I have been studying its behaviour. And after about 20 minutes of a hot wash, it starts to undergo high acceleration from rest which is not normal and it is this that causes the excessive vibration. It was suggested that the cause of the high acceleration from rest is power surge to the motor and is caused by something heating up with time.
    The question is what is heating up with time and causing the temporary motor power surge?
    Any advice will greatly appreciated.

  • @VolvoStribo

    Thanks, was a great help, motor turned out to be fine, when reassembled it all worked properly, so don't know why it packed up in the first place.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 9 lety

      Hi Steve, If you did not take the brushes out to examine them or if they were quite worn by disturbing them they may work for a few washes.
      However, if this was the problem it is likely it will return.

    • @VolvoStribo
      @VolvoStribo Před 9 lety

      Yeah, the brush I took out was fine, put it all back together, worked for 5 minutes, then packed up. Ordered new brushes, when I went to fit them, the brush I didn't take out was totally worn away. Lesson learnt, always check both brushes, though was surprised how much worn one was than the other.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 9 lety

      Steve Borrett Unusual for one to wear so much more than the other. It may have been sticking a little and the lighter contact may have resulted in it burning away as opposed to normal wear.
      Glad you sorted at last.

      calvinacb always use the range that shows the least zeros when reading so on a heater that is say 28 ohms on 200 it would read 028. on all other ranges it will read 001.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 9 lety

      calvinacb The motors in most dryers are Induction motors with two windings and a capacitor. Most none direct drive washing machine motors used to be brushed types where you would measure a 'Field' winding and an armature winding (across the brushes). Some later type brushless washing machine motors are 'Three phase' types with three field windings and no armature connections.

  • @StuartSeaton
    @StuartSeaton Před měsícem

    Very good explanation - I don't think I'll bother trying to take the motor out of my Beko though as I think it's the carbon brushes that need replacing as it was sparking and lighting up when I took the back off - you said at the end though that if you find any of these faults then the whole motor needs replacing? You can't just replace the carbon brushes? Probably not worth the time or money to fix if I can get a new one for about £230 anyway

    i have a bosch wae28468/14 with error F21(brushes,motor or main control brd)Brushes are fine. commutator sooted slightly but now clean,not much wear.my motor has 7 connectors which i think are 1-2 sensor3-4 brushes, 5,6,7 windings.across 1-2 i get 7 ohms, on 3-4 i get 23ohms static or 0-23ohms when turning spindle and approx 2-3 ohms across 5-6,5-7,6-7.
    I tried several times to reset the error but was unable, so took the front cover off and tried the reset procedure pressing directly on the spring/switch which worked first time. i put back together and put a wash on which worked fine for 30 mins into the program then the machine stopped again on error F21, do you think this could be the main control board or motor problem.
    do you have a main control brd - BSH 5560 009 098

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 7 lety +1

      We cannot guarantee the colour code will be the same on all machines but to measure resistance of the motor or coils a low resistance setting (0 - 200) is usually the correct setting.

    Is the speed sensor on the motor? Is speed sensor replaceable ? Or do you need to replace whole motor?

The speed sensor gives a reading of about 190 ohms... Also if I manually torn the rotor this reading varies a little as I would expect but it also gives a random null or 1 every now and then which seems odd to me... Does this mean I need to replace the whole motor? I also get a reading of 8.1-10ohms on the final test ( the motor windings?) and very high reading if I connect across the brushes...

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 4 lety

      Hi batfink 132000, when testing for a fault on the motor you are looking for continuity readings to test it, with your fault you are looking for a component that is going down to earth causing the electrics to trip which would normally require a meggar meter to test the components. Does the machine work OK when washing?

The numbers for my primary windings seem low: Pins 2&3 = 1.2 Ohms, Pins 1&2 = .2 Ohms, and Pins 1&3 1.0 Ohms. I believe the part number for the motor is #144843.

      Hi Eisha, There are a number of possible causes for a leak. Check the door seal rim and in the folds for a hole or tear. If the seal is OK unplug the machine and take the back off. Then poor a kettle of water into the drum through the door. If this comes straight out identify where it is leaking from as there may be a hole in the drum caused by a coin. Once identified the cause can then be addressed.

  • @won3bravo
    @won3bravo Před 8 lety

    You say that to test the tacho generator you take the resistance reading which should be "any reading that wasn't a short circuit or an infinite reading" and you measure 70-71 Ohms which you say is fine. Mine is reading a steady 32 Ohms so would appear to be ok but I have read elsewhere that the resistance should vary when you rotate the motor, is this correct? Mine does not vary when I rotate the motor but the tacho generator appears fine when it is removed from the motor.
    I have removed and inspected the brushes which seem fine, they also show a resistance within your tolerances.
    My washing machine is a Hoover DYN9124DG-80 with a CESET MCC 52/64-148/CY59 motor.
    Thanks, Colin :o)

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 8 lety

      +Colin Preece The tacho resistance does not change but it has a magnet that induces a small voltage that may cause your meter to fluctuate as it is spun. If the Tacho had lost its magnet or gone open circuit the motor would spin to maximum as the board told it to turn. With no feedback to the board it would suspect a problem and stop the motor then usually retry again.

    • @won3bravo
      @won3bravo Před 8 lety

      Thanks for the prompt reply. We didn’t notice the motor spinning to maximum, the motor won’t spin at all and shows the error code E08. According to your website (www.espares.co.uk/advice/0/2531/how-to-understand-hoover-and-candy-washing-machine-error-codes) this indicates “a problem with the motor speed sensor. This can result in the motor spinning up at very high speed for a few seconds slowing down and then stopping. It may also mean that the motor is not spinning.” I haven’t checked the motor’s field winding resistance as I can’t work out which wires to check. The multi connector has 9 x wires: 2 x red go to the tacho, 1 x whiteish-grey goes to a brush, 1 x blue goes to the other brush. This leaves 2 x purple, 1 x black, 1 x orange and 1 x brown.
      The machine has already had a new door latch and PCB when showing error E01 (each renewed item did make a difference) but now the motor doesn’t spin and error E08 is displayed.
      Any ideas? Thanks.

      +Colin Preece The E08 as stated is the control board not seeing the motor turn and is due to the motor not turning. If the brushes are in good condition and you have checked the motor connections and the PCB connections then the problem is likely to be the control board.

    Hi do u know why my washing machine won’t turn or sometimes it does or goes into spin I know u mentioned it but my machine is about 20 years old and I didn’t know if them motors would have sensors?

    • @eSpares

      Hi Kai1234, start by checking the obvious, the filter in case it's blocked then check the carbon brushes and drive belt.

    Question...If im having a problem with the motor should u just buy a new one or can you repair the motor...I had the washing machine for 8yrs and it doesnt spins I look at the belt and notings wrong with it.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 4 lety

      Hi Douglas, it would depend on the make and model as they are supplied differently, most supply the carbon brushes separate so check them first.

  • @KeyserSoze5421
    @KeyserSoze5421 Před 6 lety

    Also what ohms range do you have the multimeter set to? I’m getting mixed results.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 6 lety

      Hi William, to check the motor the meter must be set to the lowest Ohm's range (0-200?). A washing machine motor will typically give a resistance of between only 1 and 10 ohms for a winding or across the brushes.

    • @KeyserSoze5421
      @KeyserSoze5421 Před 6 lety

      My multimeter has anything from 2 - 5000ohm range. I’ll test them again @ 200 range and post my results, I’m still convinced the windings test is showing up infinite resistance.

    • @KeyserSoze5421
      @KeyserSoze5421 Před 6 lety

      Meant to say 2000ohm range

    • @KeyserSoze5421
      @KeyserSoze5421 Před 6 lety

      I’ve tested it again and my results are. @ 200ohm setting Armature 00.1 Brushes 46.1 windings 00.0 / @ 20ohms Armature 0.09 Brushes doesn’t budge windings 0.00 / @ 2ohms setting Armature 0.88 Brushes doesn’t budge windings .002
      I’m a little confused by the Brushes reading @ 200ohm setting but the windings results seem consistent with a faulty motor. Issue is a machine that won’t engage left turn, right turn or spin whilst in diagnostic mode.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 6 lety

      Have you removed and examined the brushes. wash motors rarely go short so as long as you have a 'low resistance it is likely to be OK. If you are getting 'unusual' brush readings suspect worn brushes.

  • @KeyserSoze5421
    @KeyserSoze5421 Před 6 lety

    I’ve just tested my motor and I’m fairly certain the windings are at fault. I’m getting infinite across all 3 wires. What’s confusing me though is when I test the brushes, in my case....red wire and white wire, I get nothing, no readings whatsoever, just reading 1. What does that mean? Checked brushes and they look fine.

    @deluxehotpoint Před 9 lety

    Quite often my washing machine motor will randomly burst and jerk during the main wash and rinses which causes the machine to bash about, is this a brush problem or more of a motor problem?

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 9 lety

      ***** There are three possible causes .
      Worn brushes (easy enough to check) see video:
      czcams.com/video/MNInJd7js5A/video.html
      Loose motor connections (check)
      If the problem still occurs after checking the above it is possible it is a faulty pcb or module.

    My Zanussi ZWF16070W washing machine keeps trying to go into a full speed spin rather than balancing the load and increasing the spin speed gradually, causing the machine to shake violently. It then just winds down, does nothing for a few minutes, and does the same thing over and over again (and will continue to do this until I switch it off). However, the drum rotates properly during the initial washing part of the programs prior to the first spin. It also fills with water and drains properly. From what you say in this video, it appears that the sensor on my washing machine's motor is faulty and is sending the wrong information to the control panel. Can this sensor be replaced or does the entire motor need to be replaced?

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 7 lety

      Hi Lianne, interesting one this as if the sensor or motor were faulty the drum would normally go to full speed (Like it does on spin) during the wash cycle. Run a spin cycle empty and watch. The drum should turn slowly one direction then the other several times before starting to increase in speed to full. If it does this try with a light load again just rinse and spin. If it goes straight to full speed after the tumble suspect the PCB.

    • @LianneRoberts
      @LianneRoberts Před 7 lety

      Hi there. Many thanks for your reply. The strange thing is, if I run it on a spin-only cycle it will drain, rotate back & forth as if to balance the load, then commence the spin from the slowest speed, working its way to the fastest speed. However, within a second or two of reaching maximum spin speed something makes a 'dull click' sound and it cuts the spin and slows down to a stop. The spin program is ten minutes long and the last time I tested it, it failed a few minutes before it should have finished. I've tried a few wash programs (including the spin-only program) with light loads of washing and whilst empty, and it does the exact same thing - the spin program functions as I've just described and the wash programs function fine until it needs to spin (I believe the first spin is prior to the first rinse, as the fabric conditioner is still in the drawer at this point) - which is when it tries to launch into a full speed spin rather than gradually.
      One other thing that is a bit strange is that it seems to complete the 30 minute/30 degree wash program with no issues. Unfortunately this particular program has a short spin duration so the washing is still rather wet. I originally suspected the PCB but after seeing your video I was wondering if it might be the sensor on the motor, however, it looks like my original suspicion is correct. I think I'll just buy a new washing machine. It will be a shame though because although I've had my Zanussi for about ten years it's still like a new machine (apart from this spin issue that's just developed). It's quiet, stays rock-steady at all times (it hardly vibrates at all) and had always washed everything perfectly well.

    • @eSpares
      @eSpares  Před 7 lety

      The problem certainly sounds like the PCB, during spin the motor uses a lot more power so may cause the drive circuit to go short and produce full power. After ten years of regular use the machine is likely to be requiring major repairs shortly (Bearings?) . With a replacement representing a significant cost on this occasion it may be sensible to replace. :-(

    • @LianneRoberts
      @LianneRoberts Před 7 lety

      Hi, and thanks for the reply again. Apart from the spinning issue everything else seems to be fine. I doubt anything mechanical will need to be replaced any time soon (the bearings are still running smoothly, etc) but there's always the risk of other electronic parts suddenly going wrong at any time. Considering the price of a new PCB I'm thinking it would be better to pay a bit more and buy a new machine. Just seems a shame to dispose of a machine that's in good mechanical condition. Thanks for your help and advice with this - much appreciated.
