Old Service Washing Machine

[Whoops]

Hi, I have just fitted both drum bearings and seal but I am not sure about the wiring to the heater element and two other small devices that I had to disconnect, all eight are black with white lettering, two have just the letter R, two have T30, two have T60 and two have T90.

I have tried to find some sort of wiring diagram but to no avail, can someone please help me.

(Not sure of the model but there is a picture of the washer and one of the back of the drum in my album)

Ok I have just found the Model Number, 3094

The two wires marked R go to the heating element,the others to the thermostats.If one of the thermostats has two terminals this is the 60 stat.If the other thermostat has four terminals this is the 30/90 thermostat.

Thanks for the reply assuhors, the thermostats are as you say 2 terminal and four.

On the four terminal thermostat, do the T 30 wires go to the top or bottom or does it not matter as long they are connected to the same cut out circuit.

If you wire up the 30/90 thermostat the wrong way you will boil up your washing.It is possible to work out which is which if you have a meter.

Hi, I have not got a meter so it might have to be be trial by error, I will let you know the outcome.

Hi assuhors, well I first put the T 90 wires to the top and the T 30 wires to the bottom of the thermostat, ran the washer and no heating of water took place, so I reversed the wiring and tried again and it is now heating up ok. So thanks for your help on this matter.
