Hi guys I have a double speed washing machine motor.I would like to know the wirings of it.
It has a connector of ten.
Colours from left to right are:two brown;black and under no wire;
red and under blue;yellow and under green;two yellow thin wires.
Anyone knows what are these wires and which are for the capacitor and which capacitor suitable?
Any help please?
Thanks

I think every manufacturer can choose the color codes used internally to the appliance.

My experience with washing machines is that there is normally a wiring diagram included. Have you opened all the inspection panels? There is usually one visible. Sometimes it is in a plastic bag glued to the inside of a panel.

Lacking that, go to the manufacturer's web site and search on the model number. They shoud have information like the wiring diagram posted.

Nothing comes up in a web search. You will have to follow the wiring to the various motors and solenoids. No idea at all about the capacitor.

does it have 'pin' connections ? If so, remove the cover next to them and see if it has a centrifugal switch that's under it. Two of the connections go to that switch which are wired in series with the start windings. I worked on a polisher (with washing machine motor/gearbox) about 3 months ago and found most of the info for the motor on an appliance repair site. You'll have to meter out the winding pairs. what I did was apply 120v to one pair, when it just hummed and didn't move, I assumed them to be the run winding.Applying 120v to the second pair caused it to start right away, which I put in series with the centrifugal switch and parallel with the other (first) windings. They have used it nearly every day and are happy with it.
edit: the gearbox on this one was two speed,maybe this info will get you started.
