Aquarius Motor Connections
Hi all
Got an aquarius washing machine which was working fine, then suddenly the motor just stopped turning the drum. Water in works fine, water out works fine, it goes through the entire cycle as if it's working but the drum doesn't turn. Checked the belt and that's fine, motor and drum turn with the normal level of resistance, so back cover removed to expose motor and I find the connector plug has one wire hanging off, as I'm trying to find out where it came from, another wire falls off. Some sign of overheating on the plug so I'm assuming this problem has just been waiting for me to have loads to do before showing itself.
Anyone know the wiring connections ?
Seems a pretty poor way of doing the job but I suppose push fit wiring has its uses.
Competent with electrics so no problem there, just need a wiring diagram or description to say where the connections should be.
Thanks all, and fingers crossed
Dave
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Aquarius washing machine drum not turning after motor connector wires came off
- The problem
- An Aquarius washing machine completed cycles with water filling and draining normally, but the drum stopped turning. The belt was reported intact, and the motor and drum could be turned by hand with normal resistance. On removing the back, the motor connector plug was found with one wire detached and another wire then fell off, with signs of overheating on the plug.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported diagnosis is a failed or overheated motor connector/wiring connection causing loss of power to the motor. No wiring diagram or exact terminal positions were provided in the discussion.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was documented. The accepted reply stated that wiring diagrams were not available and did not provide the motor connections. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Belt checked and reported fine
- Motor and drum turned by hand with normal resistance
- Back cover removed to inspect motor area
- Motor connector plug found with detached wires and signs of overheating
Safety: Do not attempt to guess or bypass motor wiring connections. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

I'm afraid I got rid of all my wiring diagrams as I no longer repair them myself and didn't have room to store them all Dave. Wiring diagrams are just not widely available. It's possible someone may be able to help you out but it's a long shot and time is of the essence.
It's not much help I know, but I explain here about some of the reasons why wiring diagrams aren't made available
