nonsense it is clearly an induction motor.


Why do you say that? Most European washing machines use series wound
universal motors with carbon brushes. I've got a Creda washer sitting in
my basement right now awaiting arrival of a set of brushes amoung other
things, no idea how it ended up on this side of the pond but it's a cool
little machine.

But its NOT a washing machine he's fixing ! its a tumble drier
