Re: 50 hz timer motor



I spent over 20 years repairing laundry appliances for a living, it`s been about 4 years since I gave up, folks these days tend to be cajoled into buying an extended warranty with their new machines in exchange for a very low ticket price. Here, washing machines, like most home appliances are so cheap, it doesn`t make sense to invest money in any machine over five years old. The microwave oven repairing side to my business stopped almost overnight when local supermarkets started selling ovens for £39.99. Similarly with VCR`s at £29.99!

[1] some machines switch the drain pump on and off during the final spin, presumably to prevent some kind of cavitation or maintain enough water in the sump hose to keep the pump draining effectively



Over here top loaders are cheap, starting at around $200 but front loaders still command quite a premium. They start at about $600 and go up from there. An imported brand is usually around $1000+ so it's well worth repairing.
