either you got some type of control board or timer for that washer or miss janet paid you a personal visit over the holidays and lost all control when she saw your collection of commercial machines and that bendix you have. i'm assuming the latter. love the video, brings back memories of the 80's when i lived in minneapolis and prince was hot, jimmy jam and terry louis were hot and janet was beyond hot! used to go down to the gay 90's on hennepin ave. and listen to the "minneapolis sound" including janet while we danced the nite away. then take a bus ride home in 10 below weather! ah, what memories! why don't you post some pics of that machine of yours! it is one major "no nonsense" washing machine, from what i remember when i saw it. had a great time with you when you came to visit, enjoyed showin you my stuff too. |

Next, mounting the motor: In order to do that I needed to cut some things. Here are the grinder wheels that I used. |

The original motor mount tabs needed to be cut off and grinded down to be flush with the frame. Those tabs are strong and thick. |

My welding skills are not the best, but what I did works. |

Drilling the mounting holes for that motor was tricky, but I finally got it mounted. |

Model ATV18U54M2 Input is 230V 3PH True Sine Wave output is 230V 3PH Modified Sine Wave It's rated to run a 4HP motor, so it being oversized isn't a bad thing. |

It’s good to see the progress of this machine, keep the updates coming. I have just managed to complete a working PCB, have about 6 units that are no good, suppose you call it learning the hard way. Next job is to iron out the bugs in the programmes, mostly to do with the interim spins. Photo of working PCB. |

Hi, Supremewhirlpol I’m using a Microchip microcontroller PIC16F872 and programming it using microchips MPLAB IDE software with code basics I picked up in a book called PIC in practice by D W Smith, so it’s all my design and how I want it to work, well one day maybe. Most of the bugs are the intermittent spins, got the wash right and the heating cycles good as well. Link to the microchip website. Hi, Favorit That full circle is the reset key, which has been a god send as the programs have bugs and some times need to stop it quick. I never intend to put the others on 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9 as I have never used them and asked people which programs they used the most, which seems to be 2, 5 and 7. I also think it a shame the old codes are gone, so ease the old dial a fabric. CLICK HERE TO GO TO hotpoint95622's LINK |

Hotpoint 95622, What language is that? Are you using relays as well? I plan on using SSR's. |

Hi, Yes zanussi did make some of the liberator range badge as Hotpoint, as for why, I suppose it was to do with supply and demand; Hotpoint could not make enough units so contracted some out to zanussi. If only I could find an original Hotpoint liberator deluxe. Language, it’s microchips own instruction set, I’m no expert, learning from books as I go along, to be frank I am amazed that it works to any degree a bit trial and error. Using relays at first, as my skill improves I will swap relay for SSR’s and hope to construct my own speed control board, must walk before run though. Also have plans for a board with a time line indicator on. Photo of motor speed control relays. |

The Zanussi Liberator was manufactured after a fire at the Hotpoint factory caused a cut in production. Tom. |
