    As a Miele technician for 30 years I can tell you guys that these motors are 30 years old and the Identical motors are still made and used in the Miele machines made today , I have never seen bearing failure but I have seen the amatures fail from being worn down to a nub.... These motors are SUPER reliable.. I have gone to many of these machines for service and have replaced motor brushes up to 3 times on the same machine over a 20 to 30 year life of the machine.

    After having a motor exactly like this on the shelf for more than 15 years, today I managed to make it run thanks to your very instructive video. Thanks.

    I've had 3 Miele washing machine motors sitting in my shed gathering dust because I didn't understand the wiring layout. As a complete novice I watched this video and 2hrs later I now have 3 working motors and from tomorrow I'll be making a wire wheel polisher I've been wanting for a longtime. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit, upload and share this video. You deserve all the hits you've had and more. Best wishes and thank you again 👍🍀😁

      can a washing machine motor be modified to be used for a sliding gate opener? Or other question: from where could I salvage a used motor for my DIY gate opener that is strong enough?

    Good Lord! Bought myself an old washing machine motor and stumbled upon this channel. This is all new to me - in fact: I have not the faintest clue with regard to motors, but I think I have come to just the right place here. That leads to a *new subscriber* .

    this is probably the most useful electric motor video ever published on youtube. I was sick of other people's stupid 2D diagrams with blue and red colors drawn is MS Paint.
    The iron powder trapped in the 3D magnetic field is the best visualisation ever my eyes deserved.

    The best video ever.
    I can tell you spent a lot of time studying these and preparing this video. Good job, it's very informative and i'll be sure to use this as reference if I ever get to work on such motors!

    @gh778jk 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I am an EE, and I must congratulate you on your clarity of explanation.
    Anybody, who has no prior knowledge of these motors who pays attention, should walk away from this video, at least roughly, understanding how the work.
    A clear and concise explanation is a rare thing these days! Well done !

    I found your videos after looking up how motors work for building an instrument, and despite coming out still not really understanding because I'm quite dim, I still watched the rest of them. You're clearly a great teacher, even if this student isn't the best learner. Good stuff, P.A.I.

    My dad used to work for Siemens. It's so cool how many kinds of products they have and sell from washing machines to electrical panels. After he left Siemens, the company didn't want any panels back so we have about over $1000 worth of Siemens equipment left.

  • @al3xf103
    @al3xf103 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This video was so useful to me. Particularly helpful was finding out the parallel configuration is known as a 'shunt' type motor. I am trying to use one of these as a generator and this is apparently how it must be wound to work in this way. Knowing about the potential risk to the coils melting was also a great heads up. Great production quality and quality of explanations/diagrams too. Thank you for this video and your channel.

  • @briwire138
    @briwire138 ปีที่แล้ว +2
