Problem with new carbon brush is that its wire is shorter than on the ones that were in a new washing machine. And I am talking about a Bosch original carbon brush. It means that you will have a lot of carbon still available but it will not work anymore because of short wire. About video: GREAT VIDEOS, I love watching them! Thank you for every video and I wish you all the best.
The wire should be short enough to stop the brush before the metal end touches the commutator, but not too short to waste half of the carbon and lifetime! (Corporate manager: How can we make more money from selling motors and brushes? Genius sales manager: Let's make the motor brushes wires shorter!) 😡‼️
@@paulcohen1555 That is exactly what I saw here 😄 And I completely agree with you. At the end I had almost 3 times "leftovers" (carbon brush that cannot be used anymore) as in the first one that came with a washing machine.
Hi thanks a lot for your comment and I'm glad it helped. It would be really helpful for me to get my video shared and help us fight appliance waste!

I thought those motors were AC. You said your using a DC power supply. how many DC volts are you using? I love your videos I'm always learning from you.
If you watch the video on my amperage metres, then you would be able to measure the amount of wattage or amperage being drawn at any point. Typically a normal washing machine pulls between 200 to 400 W I have not made a video on washing machines yet, but here is the one on tumble dryers and it shows you what the tumble dryer motor is pulling. These only cost £10-£15 and I have an essential tool ruclips.net/video/NjEa_KZGWaQ/видео.htmlsi=BSLVCzbBcxoxkiR5

Hi, going off subject for a second please, is it possible to replace a 240v fridge/freezer compressor set up with a 12v compressor set up..?I live on a boat and have to run my under counter fridge freezer via an inverter which drags my battery bank down every day and costs money in diesel to charge batteries up again, I cannot afford a new 12v fridge freezer as they can run up to £600! I’ve seen brand new compressors on the internet at reasonable prices but I’m not sure I have the skills to tap into the fridge gas side of things..any help would be appreciated 👍🏻

Normally, I would get back to you within 24 hours but I am on my way back from the IFA trade show in Berlin, so it can take more time to respond.

Because I have a voltage controller, the motor does not start fast. If I did not have this. Yes I would be bolting it down to the bench. But thanks for noticing if anyone else is trying this i would recommend it, but I have been doing it for years.
I don't have to wait for the end of the video to give a big thumbs up 👍
my hotpoint vtd20 the drum stopped turning there was a burning smell comming from it tried to get it going it wouldent spin at all

Hi, any videos on how to test inverter motors? Also, is it possible to make a rig to bench test an inverter motor?
Hi may I ask where the live and neutral connect to please which wires on motor to test.
Hi I watched you’re video on main board change, mine still does wot it done before won’t spin
I thought those motors were AC. You said your using a DC power supply. how many DC volts are you using?
I love your videos I'm always learning from you.
What is the typical motor current in actual operation in a machine on washing and highest spinning speed?
(If you already measured or can measure it)

How we test an inverter motor for LG washing machine?
Without the controller very difficult. You could use a hobby RC BLDC motor driver, but you wont get near the rated speed or power

If the compressor power is roughly the same
@@How-to-repair any chance you could do a “ how-to-convert” video…? I’m sure many other folk would be interested
help my hotpoint vtd20 stopped turning it it was making a low humming noise from the motor there was a smell of burning

Hello Mr
Why aren't you mechanically fixing the motor to the bench?
It will be safer for you!
Because I have a voltage controller, the motor does not start fast. If I did not have this. Yes I would be bolting it down to the bench. But thanks for noticing if anyone else is trying this i would recommend it, but I have been doing it for years.
Well, you know how accidents happen.
