@DragonFlyback256 yeh the motor was worn out when I found it. I put some used brush assembly's on it and greased the bearings, but it aint got long to live
@romandybala I'm guessing because its a 6 pole motor (2850rpm vs 1425 RPM of a 4 pole one) it has more revs but less torque. I am only guessing tho, I don't make a habit of grabbing rotating machinery with my hand, especially not with gloves.
Those motors are tough alright. like the puffs of smoke by every turn of the drum. At least you have the motors for the next burn out. Keep up the great video's
I literally placed my computer in front of my washing machine and made it watch this and said 'fuck up my clothes once more and this is what will happen!.' :P
As Long as your not destroying old Hotpoints and Hoovers I'll have no problem with you! Great vids, you can smash up as many Bekos and new indesits etc as much as you like lol!
Thats cool, its just my dad is a whiteware electrition and he was thinking about moving to australia and getting a job because there because there is not much work for that kind of thing in new zealand.
Both of these videos have been INSTANTLY added to My Favourites! :-D In this video, the washer sounded like a chugging steam engine, complete with puffs of smoke too! :-D Was that drum-smoke, belt smoke, or both? When my mum's washer bearing failed, the drum filled with a grey oily-smelling smoke, & the smell got stuck in all of the clothes. Took two more washes to get the smell out of the clothes. Eeew! The machine was a 'Servis' make. We always had problems with that washer!! -BBD.
Australia isn't much better to be honest, most appliances seem to get thrown away for new ones :(, I fix ones that are really worth fixing, but for the most part their junked, same goes for audio and video equipment, old plasma and LCD Tv's show up all the time but their worth nothing :(
It reminds me sometime ago I was drunk after drinking whisky and started playing with my electric food mixer. i cut my finger but not badly and burnt the motor out . It made the place smell of burning metal for ages.
