As a necessary electrical appliance for modern families, the normal operation of the core power component-the motor is directly related to the overall performance of the washing machine. When the motor fails, the washing machine will show a variety of recognizable anomalies. Understanding these performances helps users identify problems in a timely manner and take appropriate action.

(1)、Device does not start at all

1. fault performance

When the power switch and start button of the washing machine are pressed, the equipment has no reaction, the indicator light of the operation panel may display normally, but the washing program cannot be started, and the pulsator or drum does not produce any movement.

2. cause analysis

①. Motor start capacitor failure. The function of the capacitor is to provide starting torque for the single-phase induction motor, and its damage will cause the motor to fail to obtain the necessary phase difference, so it cannot start.

②. The motor winding is open or short-circuited due to long-term overload, moisture or insulation aging, causing the motor to be completely disabled.

3. response measures

In the face of such a situation, the user should not repeatedly try to start, but should first cut off the power supply, check whether the power supply line is normal. If the external power supply problem is ruled out, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel for further testing. It may be necessary to replace the capacitor or the entire motor assembly.

(2)、Abnormal sound during operation

1. fault performance

The washing machine emits abnormal noise during the dehydration or washing stage, such as high-frequency squealing, dull friction, periodic impact or obvious electromagnetic humming. These sounds are usually distinguished from the uniform operating sound under normal operating conditions.

2. sources of abnormal noise

Possible sources of abnormal sounds include:

①.Motor bearings due to long-term wear or lack of oil caused by dry friction, resulting in sharp noise.

②. The internal rotor and stator of the motor sweep bore (scrape each other) and emit metal friction sound.

③.The bolts of the motor mounting base are loose, resulting in increased overall vibration during operation.

④.The internal winding part of the motor is short-circuited, which produces uneven electromagnetic force and causes vibration and noise.

3. response measures

When the user hears such sounds, it is recommended to suspend the use of the equipment to avoid the expansion of the fault. Repair work usually involves disassembling the motor, replacing high-quality special bearings or correcting the position of internal components,

and requires personnel with professional knowledge.

(3)、Motor speed is abnormal or unstable

1. fault performance

Mainly for washing or dehydration, pulsator or drum speed is significantly lower than the normal standard, sometimes fast and slow, or can not enter the high-speed dehydration stage. The symptoms are particularly obvious under load conditions (when there are more clothes) and may be accompanied by severe shaking of the whole machine.

2. cause analysis

Common causes of speed problems are:

①. The capacity of the motor running capacitor is attenuated, resulting in insufficient starting torque and running torque of the motor.

②. The inter-turn short circuit occurs in some windings of the motor, resulting in a drop in electromagnetic torque.

③. The power supply voltage is abnormally low, resulting in insufficient output power of the motor.

④. Mechanical transmission components (such as belts, clutches) slip, but reflected in the final load speed.

3. response measures

For this kind of phenomenon, the user can first check whether the voltage at home is normal, and try to reduce the amount of single washing. If the problem persists, professional testing is required. Maintenance personnel will use a multimeter to measure capacitor capacity, detect motor winding resistance, or check the transmission system to determine the point of failure and replace the corresponding parts.

(4)、Abnormal odor in motor area

1. fault performance

During the operation of the washing machine or after it is stopped, an odor similar to burnt plastic, insulating paint or overheated metal is emitted from the rear or bottom of the machine.

2. cause analysis

Odor is usually a direct indication of motor overheating. Such overheating may be caused by prolonged overload operation, blockage of the heat dissipation channel, or short-circuit points within the winding.

3. response measures

Once you smell the peculiar smell, you must immediately unplug the power plug and keep the machine shut down for at least half a day. Continuous power supply can easily lead to motor burning or even fire. Check whether the clothes are overloaded, clean up the debris around the fuselage, and ensure smooth ventilation of the heat dissipation holes.

(5)、Indirect water leakage accompanied by motor failure

1. fault performance

Water droplets ooze or accumulate at the bottom of the washing machine.

2. cause analysis

The motor itself is not in direct contact with the water source, but damage to the components it drives (such as the inner cylinder shaft seal) may cause water seepage. When the motor bearing is severely worn, it may cause the radial runout of the spindle to

increase, accelerate the wear of the seal, and eventually cause water leakage.

3. response measures

In daily use, attention should be paid to observe whether there are water stains on the base of the washing machine, and regularly check the state of each sealing ring. If signs of leakage are found, the machine shall be shut down for maintenance in time. During maintenance, the relevant parts shall be disassembled, the aging sealing ring shall be replaced, and the damp motor parts shall be thoroughly dried.

Conclusion

The stable operation of the washing machine motor is the key to ensure the smooth progress of the laundry process. By systematically combing the common faults of the motor, we can not only have a clearer understanding of the abnormal phenomenon of the equipment, but also avoid blind operation when the problem occurs, and take appropriate measures in time. As a user, master the basic fault identification and preliminary treatment methods, you can deal with it more calmly in daily use; and when the problem is beyond the scope of self-resolution, it is wise to seek professional maintenance services in time.
