induction motors

Hi Phil,

traditionally two types of motor have been used as the main motor in european washing machines. Induction motors and universal or brush motors as they are commonly called.

Basically all the quieter machines, older continental machines, Philco/bendix, zanussi etc used the induction motors, whilst hoover hotpoint etc the noiser machines used brush motors.

Brush motors are used in conjunction with an electronic control circuit, this enables the machines to have wash, distribution and several or variable spin speeds. Hence hoover electronic 1100, the only electronic part is the motor speed control. the programme is still mechanically controlled.

Induction motors require the motors to have seperate internal windings for wash and spin speeds.

In the past few years modern electronics has enabled manufacturers to develope these types of motor, such as the lg machines and modern inverter motors.

Sorry Phil i could go on at length about the engineering, but If you want a greater explanation of this subject, the Haynes washing machine manuals give a good understandable explanation of this subject and the other functions of the automatic washing machine. A good starting point and bed time read for many of us in the uk, some good photographs too.

Well Phil I hope this helps, feel free to ask for any more information.

Mathew

and more

Induction motors are quiet and you can vary the speed easily wheres as the other type of motor uses carbon brushes that make contact with the inside of the motor causing much more noise and wear and tear.If you have a look on google and search for info on brush motors and induction motors there are lots of links to info and pictures of the insides etc.

Never seen a washer

but we had a Carlton compact dryer from 1988-1999. I was a rebadged White Knight, but in grey, great little machine!

Only replaced cos it was kept in the garage and my Dad backed the car into it, lol.

My friend still has a Carlton Freezer too, it's also in grey.

There is also an Induction/Brush hybrid. There is one that is used in my Wascomat Extract-o-matic p12 machine. The motors themselves are somewhat expensive to replace($1700).

Early Miele washers

eddy1210's profile picture
The early 700 series Mieles and the 1065's in North America used an Induction/Brush hybrid... really a twin motor. The a/c motor on one end did the wash tumbles and the d/c brushed motor on the other end for spin.
