Re: 50 hz timer motor

Ron, on the timer sequence diagram, it shows the pre-wash, wash, rinse,
extra rinse, spin, dry and stop events, but not the drain event.  If
it's a timed event, I would expect that on the event sequence.  Or
unless it's implied/built-in under the wash and rinse events??

Yes, I expect it`s just regarded as the last phase of each cycle except spin when the pump runs throughout that cycle on most (but not all [1]) washing machines.

As far as I know, any problem in the drain/heat/temp sensing department would prolong the cycle times not shorten them. Unfortunately, the only real way to prove a timer is to replace it with a known good one, which would appear to be out of the question in your case.

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
