I have a universal motor 220V 1.5A and want to control its speed.
I made bridge to convert 220V AC to DC and transformer with bridge to get 24V DC.

I connected it like this image as R3 is the motor and R2,R1 is potentiometer. I used mosfet IRF644.

But the motor works with full speed whenever the potentiometer is even if potentiometer is not connected.
So how to solve it ?!

You need to connect both negative sides of the power supply together, problem is as soon as the fet gets enough gate bias it will turn hard on, better to use PWM control for smoother action.

That FET only has a 20Vmax Vds spec, and the gate voltage limits are +/-5V so you've exceeded that too I'm afraid, it's probably dead by now. OK withdraw all of that now I see you mention a different FET in the text, I was using the one on the schematic.

But then if you used a bridge from 220Vac to dc then you will get a peak of 220*1.4=308V which exceeds even the IRF644.

By the way there used to be board rules against posts with rectified mains as it was very dangerous but perhaps they were relaxed in the board rule changes.

You can change the VR1 and C1 to change the frequency for PWM.
If you don't like to use zener then you also can use 78L12 to be the voltage regulator.

The mosfet you can choose at least 2 times rating of Vds and 3 time of Id, of course great than more is more better.

Max :
Using triac on AC for motor will make noise, I was used that for fan, unless change the frequency, if don't care about the noise that it can be used for that.

i used the one in text IRF644. ok how to get 220 DC ?

no change happened the same
Did you check if the MOSFET has failed short circuit? - I'm thinking you'd need at least an IRF8xx to handle the voltage - with all that sparking at the brushes and inductive back emf, even that probably isn't enough.

Ignoring back emf and any mains transients, the peak value is somewhere near 320V - your MOSFET has to handle at least that, plus a good safety margin.

Start with a MOSFET that can actually handle the voltage, and protect it from spikes, back emf etc with a MOV.
