Does it blow, if you isolate the connections to the motor?

Does that mean disconnect them? If so no I haven’t. What is it you’re thinking?

Yes. It will confirm whether the motor is causing the tripping/blowing fuse.

Ah yes ok I’ll try that but that means the motor could be fried?

Obviously, yes..

Obviously, yes.

Obviously, yes..

What could cause the motor to be fried? It’s not obvious to me harry this is my first experience with a malfunctioning washer and an electric motor.

Thanks!

Maybe simple wear and tear, if it has had a lot of use - carry out the test I suggested!

Thank you harry for your help and everyone else too. I just got another washer, I spent too much time in trying to make the broken one run and people needed to wash their clothes. The one I got was cheap so was easier that way, even tho I really wanted to fix it. Oh well. My fridge has now broken as well anyone know about fridges?

The most common failure with fridges is the thermostistor. Last time I needed to replace one it cost me about a tenner for the the thermistor and about 12 mins to swap it out. All I had to do was remove the wires from the temperature dial and then remove the back plate on the fridge and tuck the excess thermistor wire out of the way.

Edit- I am talking about stand alone fridges, the all in one fridge freezers are a whole different ball game.

Hey thanks for the reply!

It’s a 50/50 fridge freezer, I started a thread on it here - https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/...ng-at-all-in-either-fridge-or-freezer.629507/
