Hi. It’s difficult to say exactly how to wire a washing machine motor without the make/model of the machine and a clear photo of the motor label, terminal block, and any wiring plug. There isn’t one standard wiring layout, and guessing can easily damage the motor, control board, or create a serious electric shock risk.
1. Isolate the appliance from the mains before touching any internal wiring. 2. Please post: - The full make and model number of the washing machine - Clear photos of the motor from all sides - A close-up of the motor data plate/label - A photo of the wiring connector and any loose wires 3. Check whether the motor is: - A brushed/universal motor with carbon brushes - An induction motor - A modern inverter/brushless motor Each type is wired differently. 4. If the original plug has been cut off or wires pulled out, trace each wire back through the loom and look for: - Pin numbers on the motor - Terminal markings - A wiring diagram inside the cabinet or behind the kick strip/top panel 5. Do not connect a motor directly to the mains “to try it” unless you are completely sure of the wiring and test method. On many machines this can be dangerous and can ruin the motor or PCB.
If you add the photos and model details, I can help you identify the terminals and narrow it down properly. If any mains wiring or control board work is involved, it’s best handled by a qualified engineer.
