Hi and welcome. It could be several things but my first guess would be the problem may be with internal centrifugal start switch inside the motor. The motor has two windings start and run. Both start and run are energized until the motor is up to full speed, then the centrifugal switch cuts out the start winding and the motor just uses the run winding. If the start switch is stuck and cannot cut the power to the start winding the motor will overheat. This usually happens within 60 seconds or so of the start winding being energized too long.
I would take that motor apart and look at the start switch inside. It may simply need to be cleaned and greased so the weights fly apart at top speed cutting the power to the start winding. You can google "fixing an induction motor centrifugal start switch" for detailed help. Polarity makes no difference what so ever on this vintage motor. | ||

Maytag 18/19 washers were an emerald green washer, with a porcelain tub and painted metal parts. IMO, the best looking of the pre-War machines.
Your model N shares many parts with the model E, of which the Amish have reproduced the majority of parts for. The difference in parts is the wringer head is unique to the N, where as the J and E share the same wringer head. www.cottagecraftworks.com... As for a service manual, you will find a copy, along with a parts list, out on automatic ephemera - www.automatice.org/cgi-bi... Good luck! Ben | ||
