  • #HowToBloke has a washing machine problem! It has always been a good reliable washer, but today for some reason, the drum of his washing machine doesn't turn at all and although his washing machine fills and empties ok, the washing-machine drum itself does not move, so watch @HowToBloke as he finds out what's gone wrong and why his washing machine drum is not turning or spinning.

    Great - sved my wife buying another machine (she does nto give me much time to repair things). When I saw the video I thought "roken wire, not much chance of that" - until I saw the broken wire on my machine - broke at a plug - clearly the wire had been damaged whhen the machine was made as the insulation was clean cut. So I also cleaned the motor as best I could (this cheap junk doesn't come apart) checked brishes and back workign again. Thanks for this videao, I had seen some others but they didn't go into detaila and were more about buying a whole motor or a board, so I wonder how many people buy a part only to find it does not work because of a broken wire?

    great vid, did you have to replace the wiring loom as a hole? how to did you replace the wires? did you have to follow it all the way down to where ever it comes out, also any soldering?

    • @HowToBloke
      @HowToBloke  3 місяці тому

      The wire was made of solid iron not strands and had snapped inside its own insulation. I didn't need to test the whole loom. I fixed the wire with a simple plastic electric block connector (looks a bit like a lego brick) and insulating tape but perhaps I should have soldered it. That same wire broke again, months later, in much the same place. Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍

    Machine did not finish the wash one of the brushes was complexly worn would it at least not hum or spark? My drain pump turns on.

    • @HowToBloke
      @HowToBloke  Рік тому +1

      Maybe, maybe not. Mine did make an unusual fizzing whining noise for just 5 minutes or so, then it simply stopped during a wash. Have a look at my video sequel about brushes here ua-cam.com/video/g7KCNczFyRI/v-deo.html Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍

    Very good video..I have the same issue..but when selected spin it turns..so I'm bit.confused..

    • @HowToBloke
      @HowToBloke  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍 If that same issue happened to me, what I would try is to completely disconnect my washing machine from the electricity supply and leave it overnight. Then, the following morning, try again, and use a completely different washing program.

      I have the same issue..spin mode working drum rotating but rapid 15 not working

    Hey mate my washing machines drum only spins forwards and backwards slightly when pushing with my hands but won't spin any other time, was yours the same?

    • @HowToBloke
      @HowToBloke  2 роки тому +1

      On my washing machine, with the power switched off and the front-loading door open, I could still rotate my drum 360 degrees forwards or backwards manually (for example; as one might do after a wash had finished to double-check for small garments that might still be left in the drum). But when my washing machine was switched on with the front-loading door closed and a washing program started, the drum wouldn't turn at all regardless of which washing program I had chosen.

    What if you have these exact symptoms and a brushless motor?

    • @HowToBloke
      @HowToBloke  2 роки тому +1

      Apparently, brushless motors offer greater reliability because they have less moving parts, so if I had the exact same symptoms and a brushless motor I would still be looking for a broken/detached cable in the first instance. Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍

    So all it took was some brushing and it worked ok?

    • @HowToBloke
      @HowToBloke  Рік тому +2

      The carbon brushes were ok, still usable with plenty of meat still left on them. This is what really caused the issue ua-cam.com/video/FoRJKxmkcrc/v-deo.html
      and this short video when the same fault happened (again; on the same washing machine) ua-cam.com/video/UjUFALD84wM/v-deo.html Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍

    Nice video but you forgot to sand the rotor with sand paper mate

    • @HowToBloke
      @HowToBloke  Рік тому +2

      Great point, but the copper surface of the commutator wasn't scorched, scored or pitted, so I didn't bother. Thanks for watching #HowToBloke 👍
