As a Miele technician for 30 years I can tell you guys that these motors are 30 years old and the Identical motors are still made and used in the Miele machines made today , I have never seen bearing failure but I have seen the amatures fail from being worn down to a nub.... These motors are SUPER reliable.. I have gone to many of these machines for service and have replaced motor brushes up to 3 times on the same machine over a 20 to 30 year life of the machine.

After having a motor exactly like this on the shelf for more than 15 years, today I managed to make it run thanks to your very instructive video. Thanks.

I've had 3 Miele washing machine motors sitting in my shed gathering dust because I didn't understand the wiring layout. As a complete novice I watched this video and 2hrs later I now have 3 working motors and from tomorrow I'll be making a wire wheel polisher I've been wanting for a longtime. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit, upload and share this video. You deserve all the hits you've had and more. Best wishes and thank you again 👍🍀😁

The quality and amount of thought that this man puts into his work is Amazing, great videos, thank you for making them.

Good Lord! Bought myself an old washing machine motor and stumbled upon this channel. This is all new to me - in fact: I have not the faintest clue with regard to motors, but I think I have come to just the right place here. That leads to a *new subscriber* .

The best video ever. I can tell you spent a lot of time studying these and preparing this video. Good job, it's very informative and i'll be sure to use this as reference if I ever get to work on such motors!

Now that is what I call a good teacher. Just watching the video make me feel like an expert. Old and wise enough not to act on that feeling, but thanks a lot.

Maaan, I wish you can make a 10 video playlist just on electric motors with an in depth examples. Thank you so much for explaining this to us!! 💪🏼🙏🏻❤️👍🏻🤓

this is probably the most useful electric motor video ever published on youtube. I was sick of other people's stupid 2D diagrams with blue and red colors drawn is MS Paint. The iron powder trapped in the 3D magnetic field is the best visualisation ever my eyes deserved.

Love how thoroughly you explain everything! Keep up the great videos!

Sie sind eine Top Bereicherung für Technikinteressierte und die auch Dinge gern reparieren oder modifizieren. Danke für Ihren Job hier auf YT.

I am an EE, and I must congratulate you on your clarity of explanation. Anybody, who has no prior knowledge of these motors who pays attention, should walk away from this video, at least roughly, understanding how the work. A clear and concise explanation is a rare thing these days! Well done ! Paddy

This has to be the best and simplest explanation of an electric motor that I have ever seen. You have a new subscriber.

Thank you for sharing with youtubers. Excellent presentation, full of details, knowledge, and real practical experiments. Keep up the good work. Your instructions and commentary are excellent, loud, and crystal clear. Thank you.

I found your videos after looking up how motors work for building an instrument, and despite coming out still not really understanding because I'm quite dim, I still watched the rest of them. You're clearly a great teacher, even if this student isn't the best learner. Good stuff, P.A.I.

I am glad you are back to one of your core fields of interest and expertise. Excellent work TPAI.

Ein grossartiger Beitrag. Das Thema ist super aufbereitet. Gut verständlich, detailliert und technisch toll umgesetzt. Vielen Dank für so viel Engagement.

Thank You for Posting these. Especially all the Work you do explaining everything. I really learned a lot of new things. I Really Appreciate it. I hope you and your Family are all doing Great. Thanks again from Texas.👍❤️

Truly excellent video! I came looking for basic information to diagnose my washing machine motor and I went away with a well rounded education on the subject... Clarity, thoroughness and excellent presentation skills/style. Thank you for this very helpful and excellent work.

I agree with all those who wrote that this is the best video on this item !!! Thank you very much for your time and effort !!! God blesses you !!!

This is excellent... because I've finally got a WM motor... and I've got all of your excellent research here to help me get it working.

My dad used to work for Siemens. It's so cool how many kinds of products they have and sell from washing machines to electrical panels. After he left Siemens, the company didn't want any panels back so we have about over $1000 worth of Siemens equipment left.

This is absolute excellence. Best instructional tutorial by far.

Perfect explanation + experimental attitude! I've spent a lot of time studying my old washing m. but this video does enlighten my mind...

Absolutely brilliant video. So much effort has gone into sharing your knowledge. I have not seen it explained as clearly as this before.

Great demonstrations and breakdown/explanation of the inner working of the motors

This is brilliant! I've always been frustrated by universal motors need for constant speed monitoring. I would really love to see a budget / more permanent option for two DC power supplies to get decent torque out of these abundant motors.

Wow, thank you very much for this great explanation of how a universal motor works and what you can do with it. This video is really valuable!

I love the way you explain things, very practical and easy to follow

Excellent video! I loved the experiments you applied here to show how the motor works. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

wow, that's just totally awesome! thank you for explaining all this to us in a very easy understoudable manner, keep it up! Big thanks, again!

Learning how to reuse these motors from an electrical point, can be as interesting as what you create with them.

Very elaborate and a well executed post on the subject. Hats off for taking so much time & effort to explain the fundas and the different variables involved and how they interact with one another. Thank you very much for covering the subject in such close detail.

great video, I have one motor waiting for the solution to become useful. Thank you for your investigations, it helps a lot people like me with not much resources but interest into learning and reusing things. Waiting for your conclusions. Thanks again.

Very clear explanation of basic dc motor working principle. Thank you!

Well done! I'll be digging out my collection of electric motors and trying to copy your experiments. Thanks!

Finally a good explanation for these moters. Now I can finally experiment myself on one of those moters.

Man, your videos are top notch...so glad I found your channel.

Ausgezeichnete Video; very well done. Thanks for all the info. I am already looking forward to the next one. Tschüss...

Yes finally some way to use these things! Any progress on that simpler circuit? It would make life much easier for DIY tools.

You explained it better than my electrical machinery professor!

Yes you must have been a Electrical Engineer Professor Motors 101 EXCELLENT JOB Very professional Schematic and teaching , i think i now understand much more about those types of Motors THANK YOU Tim

I learned so much from this video! Thanks for such a detailed explanation

The most educating 25 minutes of my life. Or at least today.

Great video and real in-depth explanations of how motors operate.

This video was so useful to me. Particularly helpful was finding out the parallel configuration is known as a 'shunt' type motor. I am trying to use one of these as a generator and this is apparently how it must be wound to work in this way. Knowing about the potential risk to the coils melting was also a great heads up. Great production quality and quality of explanations/diagrams too. Thank you for this video and your channel.

It is great that you include the German words for the technical terms. Thanks for taking the time to make this great educational video.

I love your new setup. Your hard work really shows. Thanks again for the german language lessons.

Amazing how much I learnt from this video. Thank you so so much! 👌🏻

I like all of your videos but I like the ones about motors the most because it's not covered that well elsewhere and it's a very fascinating and much deeper topic than I realized.

Respect,mate. I've learnt hips in fraction of time. All clear and understandable on my high school level of physics. Fantastic English for non-native. Many thanks.

Great explanation of motor design, construction and operation. Inspiring!

This is the best description of how universal motors work, that I have ever seen.

thank you for dedicating your valueble time for making this video. it's great

Fascinating stuff and very well put together! Yesterday my boss walked in on me watching this video, and we then started talking about electric cars. Thanks!

You are a very fine teacher. Thank you for the vid.

I enjoyed every second of this video. great job man

Best explanation EVER! Thank you!

I love your new studio for filming!! It looks very nice!! Thank you for your detailed explenation!!

Fantastic video. The demonstration of sep-ex control was very informative.

Excellent video. Very informative. Looking forward for more videos of these series.

Thank you so much for your time and effort l appreciate tremendously.

brilliant hands on simple to understand education. brings back what i learnt at uni many years ago. thks

with pulsed dc, you can capture the back emf via a diode into a capacitor, and re-use the voltage as pulsed dc.

Very detailed explanation. A lot of work, thoughts and care behind the video. One of the best instructional videos on KZfaq. 2 thumbs up! Thank you!

Excellent explanations, thank you!

Brilliantly explained, thanks brother!

Thanks...Very helpful understanding the AC motor vs the DC Motor fields.

Fascinating. Thank you for uploading

Absolutely great knowledge on motors. Thank you.

Great, well explained video with many perspectives. Thanks a lot!

Thanks you for posting this video. Now i knows how washing machine motor works. Good explanation.

Excellent video.. a good example of why I support you on Patreon,

Your dedication is just excellent, God bless you.

Just came across this channel I’m more then thankful for your knowledge, Oh and experience. This is taboo to me but so cool and interesting with this passion in re engendered applications using motors. This is for using any and every tool in a persons tool-bag purse

Great lesson, I’m just starting to experiment & learn about motors. Thanks! Joe

Fantastic! Pure Electrical Engineering..... THE BEST OF IT ALL!

Great video. Clear explanation, as usual.

my fav channel for sure ! thanks

Brilliant work. This should be the method of teaching in every college. You added a follower.

Interesting video. I've been working on a Hotpoint washing machine today. It's motor was a 3 phase type. 5 pins, 2 for the tacho and 3 for the motor windings.

Thanks for sharing you made it simple to understand thanks.

Another Great Video.... thank you so much from San Diego, California USA...

this was a very good video! keep up the good work!

I feel like i say this a lot here but the amount of detail is amazing , excellent .

As soon as the apocalypse hits, i will move next door to this guy. We will be neighbors. A good neighbor to have. LOL

Congrats this is a great video. Thoroughly enjoyed

You are talented in your explanation on AC DC brushed motors.

The video was fun and I learned something. Keep on the good work!

This video is amazing , thank you so much

Excellent and very educational video! Thanks you very much!

Excellent professional explanations.top guy

21:44 no. the leftover magnetic field is so small that the torque of the motor wont be enough to overcome the friction of the brushes. the reason it runs when only powered trough the brushes is the way the rotor is wound. it generates its own magnetic field parallel to the magnetic flux lines the stator should have then closes it trough that same stator, so the stator is magnetized as if you powered its coils. in reality the stator coils are optional to the principle of operation of those motors and their purpose is to increase the power rating of the motor without making the rotor bulky. (its cheaper to have small rotor and stator coils than a bulky rotor). you can see this yourself by first exciting the stator coil in one direction, turning it off, seeing what direction the rotor would spin in then excite the stator in the other direction, turn it off and you would see the rotor doesnt care.

learned so much from this video! Thanks for such a detailed explanation

THe remanent magnetic field explaination was spot on. Crystal clear. thank you very much sir .

the troth of your explanation is more than wonderful😍😍😍😍😍

It is a great presentation. Well prepared as well. Very informative.

I really like the instrumentation of the magnetic field lines in motor design.

Awesome explanation. Really good English too. Keep going!
