Hi there I have a Hotpoint Washer fitted with a super silent Induction motor. The label on the motor is: C.E.SET CIM 2/55-132/AD6 195 V - 3.7 A - 800 W - 290 Hz - 17000 RPM
There s a couple of things I would like to know - is this motor 3phase or single phase?, is it an AC or DC motor and how can I tell? - does anyone know where these motors are made or how to contact the company who makes them?
Now to the main question, in the washing machine this Induction motor turns clockwise on its final spin, but the drum inside the machine does its final spin anti-clockwise when viewing the washing machine front on.
The motor has 5 wires in total going to its block connector. 2 thin reds (they go to the taco and thats for balancing the washing and motor control I know that much) then there are 3 black wires above the red tacho - if I were to swap the 2 outer black wires would this reverse the motor so that when it final spins the motor spindle will travel anticlockwise but the drum will final spin clockwise (as in what all the older washing machines used to do in the past)?
If I swapped the 2 outer wires like that could I cause damage to motor and or motor control unit/electronics of the washing machine?
Thanks for any help/info technical advice.
