Beko tripping power plastic stuck in motor SOLVED
OK so this is a weird one. I've watched lots of videos explaining how to replace brushes on a Beko machine and none of them featured thick plastic being pulled out the motor or being stuck to brushes.
So I'm thinking it's protective plastic covering the commutator that should have been removed during manufacturing?
It was causing a grinding noise.
It was not originally tripping the power. It's only doing that since removing the plastic.
Pics included.
Anyway, although there's no more bits being released onto the floor under the machine and I've removed most if not all the plastic and the machine doesnt make any grinding noises anymore the machine still trips the power when its in spin cycle.
Any ideas?!
Model number is BEKO WTG620M1W
TiA!
Solution:
Plastic sheath around commutator should have been removed when manufactured.
Removed motor and opened the two steel chassis sections to reveal severely damaged commutator with deep gouges, see photo.
Replacement motor bought
Part required: Arcelik 2842510100 motor

Wow. Never heard of that. I can't understand how it ever ran properly in the first place.
