🌀 In this video, I'll show you how to repair a washing machine motor that suffered a soapy water leak. The water dripped directly onto the motor, causing the machine to vibrate, make a whirring noise, and shut off when turned on. This type of failure is very common in both classic and modern washing machines, and here you'll learn step-by-step how to diagnose and fix the problem.
The first step was to measure the amperage draw with an ammeter. The Power Electric brand motor should have drawn a maximum of 7 amps, but it was reading between 20 and 21, confirming a serious problem with the windings. Upon disassembling the motor, it was found that the start windings were burned out, while the run windings were still functioning correctly.
To resolve the issue, the start windings were rewound. This involved:
Removing the connecting wires and separating the windings into groups (of 4, 6, 8, and 10 turns).
Count the number of turns on each coil (8, 11, 21, and 29 respectively).
Measure the wire gauge with an AWG caliper, which turned out to be 23 gauge.
Fabricate new mica/plastic insulators to protect the coils.
Rewind the coils with the exact number of turns and pitches, ensuring they were tight and aligned.
Add additional wedges to prevent the coils from slipping off or rubbing against the rotor.
Once rewound, make the electrical connections following the diagram: inputs to inputs and outputs to outputs, twisting and soldering each connection with insulating paste and spaghetti for added security. Then, apply electro-insulating varnish to all the coils and let them dry in the sun for several hours.
Finally, reassemble the motor and test it with an ammeter. The result was successful: the motor drew less than 7 amps, the manufacturer's recommended amount, confirming the repair was effective and the motor was ready to continue operating.
✅ What you'll learn in this video:
How to diagnose a washing machine motor damaged by a water leak.
Using an ammeter to measure electrical consumption.
Identifying burnt-out and working coils.
Step-by-step rewinding techniques (turns, gauge, insulation).
How to make homemade wedges and insulators for electric motors.
Correct coil input and output connections.
Applying electrical insulating varnish to protect the motor.
Final amperage test to confirm the repair.

Detrás de una gran hija, siempre hay una madre extraordinaria que estuvo dispuesta a sembrar con paciencia, fe y ejemplo. Esas enseñanzas son las que realmente sostienen el tejido de nuestra sociedad y nos recuerdan lo digno que es el ser humano cuando se cultiva con amor supremo.
Gracias por ser ejemplo viviente de que la buena crianza y la fe en la familia aún prevalecen. Que la bendición de Dios permanezca siempre sobre ustedes, llenando sus vidas de salud, abundancia y paz profunda.
TE VOY A RECOMENDAR UNICAMENTE QUE , POR SEGURIDAD , ANTES DE ENERGIZAR CUALQUIER MOTOR , PRUEBES DE QUE NO ESTE ATERRIZADO EL EMBOBINADO.
Y CUANDO LO ENERGIZES DE PREFERENCIA CONECTES EL MOTOR A UNA TIERRA FISICA .
🙋
Ese motor terminó ronroneando como un gatito.
Gran labor profesional.
Te felicito que aprendas lo que te apasiona.
