Washing Machine
Hi
I have an Indesit (WG1034T) washing machine whose drum is behaving erratically. At first I thought the belt must be slipping since I could see the motor turning but the drum would not turn uniformly. On closer inspection, I now think that the motor is spinning spasmodically and causing uneven running of the drum. I now think that the motor regulator might be at fault. Does anyone know if this item is serviceable / replaceable and where it will be located?... or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Any ideas? Thanks |

Could be the brushes...if that motor has them... -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by http://laminateflooring.oncloud8.com |

scrawled: Hi I have an Indesit (WG1034T) washing machine whose drum is behaving erratically. Scrap it, it's a bag of ****e. At first I thought the belt must be slipping since I could see the motor turning but the drum would not turn uniformly. On closer inspection, I now think that the motor is spinning spasmodically and causing uneven running of the drum. I now think that the motor regulator might be at fault. What do you mean by non-uniformly exactly? Does anyone know if this item is serviceable / replaceable and where it will be located?... or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Any ideas? tbh, anything more than changing brushes or a belt on an Indesit is generally uneconomic. -- Stuart @ SJW Electrical Please Reply to group |

Could be the brushes...if that motor has them... I agree on that. Another common fault is a conductor inside the wiring harness going to the motor has broken due to the flexing/vibration, and is making intermittent contact. Either of these faults could eventually wreck the motor driver circuit which would be expensive to repair, so I would suggest you should not use it until you fix the brushes or cable fault. -- Andrew Gabriel |
