Hotpoint wd61 motor not turning

[dickidido1471]

Hi there

I need some help!


The motor on our wd61 is not turning. When it stopped working i found that the adjustable mounting bracket had snapped and the belt fallen off. Made a new bracket and refitted the motor - still it would not turn. So I metered the motor and got continuity. I then traced back through the loom towards the control pcb and came across an inline fuse. It has blown.

So the problem I have is identifying the fuse (it has totally disintgrated). I dont even know what size it is. Best of all hotpoint service center cant tell me what it is!

Thanks

Thanks Rocks1.

Is it supposed to be an anti surge fuse or not?

I checked the brushes ( 20+mm left) and gave the commutator a quick clean while the motor was out.

any glass fuse will do 2 amp anti surge not important

Thanks for the help - got a fuse, put it in and all is working as it should.
