Hi there! My name is Tommy, and I’m here to talk to you about washing machine motors. Ever wondered how exactly a washing machine washes your clothes? It’s all thanks to the motor inside that keeps the drum spinning and your clothes clean and fresh.
A motor in a washing machine is also the thing that makes it work… kind of like an engine in a car. Comparing a washing machine to a car is a bit nonsensical, since a car requires gas in order to run, and a washing machine motor needs electricity to work. The wires inside the motor do their part to make that electricity come and make everything work well.
So here is something that can help you out, below are some tips and tricks on how to wire a washing machine motor, and some answers to the most frequently asked questions. Of course, safety is a priority here, so unplug the washing machine before you get started on the motor.
First, locate the wiring harness connecting the motor to the other parts of the washing machine. This has the harness as one bunch of wires to assure the electricity knows where its going. Using a screwdriver, remove any screws that may be securing the wiring harness.
Then, refasten the new wiring harness with the screws you removed. Your connections are where errors are most likely to occur: double-check them all to make sure that they’re tight and where they’re supposed to be. After you’ve completed that process, the washing machine should be plugged back in, with a test run to check your work.
Another potential issue is with broken or frayed wires. If the wires are broken or the insulation has worn through, they can’t transmit electricity to the motor. In this instance you would have to replace a wiring harness to correct the condition.
If you’re looking for some tips on how you can up your washing machine motor for performance, here are a couple things you can do. One solution is to use superior wires that can accommodate a greater amount of electricity without overheating or wearing out.
