Yes this is the correct forum!

 

My 10 year used washing machine developed a fault this week! but trust me this is the correct forum, its been in use for 10 years since i moved in to my first home, but up till then it had not been connected since its manufacture in 1965.

 

As most of you may know i bought it from a house where it had stood in a pantry since being delivered in the 60's

 

Its been in use since then for about 3-4 loads a week and in those 10 years its only needed new belts and this week the timer stopped ticking.

 

It has always been a little tempremental sometimes when starting it wont tick around but normally stopping it and turning the dial 360 degrees but then off it goes and works fine, but this week it wouldnt go and running it through the cycle manually didnt work well as it missed the spins.

 

So i took  apart to see if there was a problem with the timer motor

 

here are some pictures

the top

when taking in apart i found out the top had rusted around the soap shute so i'll have to sand and re paint it, i may remove the plastic tray and fit a small rubber cover that will prevent moisture getting trapped underneath

the timer motor

The timer motor has the following marking and is a sealed unit so not sure if i can get a replacement or if i need one as when i put it back together it worked fine. So ill have to see how it goes

 

Markings

 

Control of America model 411 50 c 3 w 220v   21Κ rpm

 

 

I have put a video together of it working with top removed so you can see it shake and shudder!

Hi Ricky, Great video, loving your bendix, kitchen and Electrolux Z90. Do you still have your Bendix dishwasher, or was it a Kenwood?. Hope the washer is working ok now.

Rich
