electrical - Washing Machine Stator Wire Harness Melted - Home Improvement Stack Exchange


i have kenmore 40318900 front loader started giving le error(motor stall). bought display model 5 years ago. tub spins freely hand, started troubleshooting according tech manual found inside(quite convenient) , said stator bad due resistance being way out of spec. took stator out , 100% sure measured windings directly, , lo , behold fine, around 8 ohms each. figured in harness , sure enough 1 of wires had 1.2k ohms between stator pin , pwb connector. started following wire harness , found melted , burnt section.

while going through machine noticed 1 of 3 shock absorber missing mount pin. looked on laundry room , turned machine on it's side , found, no broken pieces. thought must've never been installed. washer has been pretty noisy , vibrates around on tile floor. hypothesis excess vibration may have frayed strands in wire , caused overheat due current flowing through lot less copper. fix should simple wire replacement, wanted opinions before power , risk fire. thoughts?

edit: ended cutting 4 inches out of blue , yellow wires , splicing/heat shrinking new wire butt connectors. found out 1/2" bolt fits shock mount pin missing , put 1 , nylon lock nut in. ran 1 load of laundry , seems well, monitor bit heat.harness before unwrapping

harness after unwrapping

from limited see, tend agree. reason looks have had extremely high resistance point in wire. (it have been due abrasion) sign off on quality patch job. cut wire far enough clean non-damaged non-overheated conductor. make sure fix yellow @ same time. if machine doing lot of walking, make sure fix too. wrong.

analysis of two transistors ib,ic,ie? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

is ib current correct went kvl through first transistor your forgetting re. you need use effective resistances r4 , r6, value \$r4_e = r4 * (1+\beta) = 40,000 * 101 = 4,040,000\omega\$ \$r6_e = r6 * (1+\beta) = 1,000 * 101 = 101,000\omega\$ using base circuit looks this. simulate circuit – schematic created using circuitlab you solve using various methods, shortcut realise that, ideal vbe, voltage @ top of both emitter resistors identical. such can treat both legs being in parallel. circuit can further simplified to.. simulate circuit now should able calculate current through circuit as.. \$i_{rb} = (2.6 - 0.6)/(2,260 + 98,540) = 19.84ua\$ that makes base voltages both.. \$v_b = 2.6 - 19.84ua * 2.26k\omega = 2.555v\$ so \$ib1 = (2.555-0.6)/4.04m\omega = 0.484ua\$.. , \$ib2 = (2.555-0.6)/101k\omega = 19.356ua\$ however: these numbers make sense if transistor not saturated. question states \$i_e \approx \beta * i_b\$ indicates ...

Choosing and replace capacitors for audio amplifier - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
i have old audio amplifier (jvc a-gx2b) produces crackling noises on 1 of outputs. so, opened , discovered 2 largest capacitors seem leaking : can replace capacitor same characteristics (4700uf 50v), or should instead take specific capacitors audio? if yes, ones ? in addition, have interest replace capacitors of amp (not 2 largest)? 1: wear safety gloves when handling toxic leaky capacitors, remove , clean safely isoprop. , mark note polarity (-) 2 : measure dia , lead pitch dxl [mm] sort parts this 3: audio or better low esr, highest ripple current caps. < 50mohm, > 3aripple 4: better caps run cooler lower esr , rated higher temp. may not fit. 5: japanese caps have better reliability i suggest 1st choice panasonic @ digikey .. cost of shipping may more cost of caps. as suggested: cap voltage must same or more - capacitance tolerance doesn't matter, , may larger value. - large e-caps may replaced @ same time.
