Assuming this has been discussed before, I apologize for riposting this question. To start let me say I am border-line idiot when it comes to electronics/electricity. But I have two washing machine motors I need desperately to run for some shop projects. One is model C67NXBSS4431 and the other is model C68PXTRS4419. I do not have the serial for the actual machines, only wires coming out of the motor. Every where I have looked people seem to forget they are talking to novices. All I want to know is where do i connect wires in order to start these motors. I do not own an OHM meter and probably couldn't understand it if I did. Please, would someone walk me through this project?
Thank you very much!

 

What is the technology of the motors?
AC induction , Universal, Fischer-Paykel (ECM outrunner)?

All I know is that one has a capacitor on it(motor part # 8528158) that's the 4431
The other one(4419) is direct drive with start switch. The machine serial number was 110.26844691.

Sounds like a simple 1ph AC induction motor.
Should just need an AC supply.

That's a model number and it belongs to Sears. Go snooping into sears.com and see if you can get the wiring diagram.
There is a switch attached to the motor that makes several decisions depending on which cycle the washer is doing.

Is the switch separate from the motor or builtin? If it is separate I don't have it.
Thank you for your help!

This is a picture of the one with a capacitor. I'll get a picture of the other one tomorrow.

The switch is attached to the outside of the motor.

Max here are pictures of the other motor that does not have a capasitor attached to it. Thanks for your interest.

Here is the picture of the other motor,Max. Thank you

Where do the two red wires that are connected to the capacitor attach to?

 

Unless someone here has the details, you may have to find the schematic for the machine it originally came from.

I have no idea what machine it cane out of. I received just tow motor. Thanks foe your input and help.

You know exactly which machine it came out of and you named that machine in post #3. It was sold by Sears and you have the model number which leads to all resources that Sears has.

Sorry for not being so damn particular in my post bit i was referring to the other motor. You are right, I do have one serial # for one motor but as I mentioned in my original post I have 2 motors.
Thanks

 

Doing a quick search it appears that motor is a basic three lead induction motor, if so if you trace the 3 conductors and measure the resistance between all 3 you could decipher which is the start and the run winding.
I assume you also have a cap for the motor? If so is it wired?

Max, one of the motors( sent pictures) has a capacitor but the two red wires connected to it are not connected to anything. I wanted to know where they go. I will try to fi d someone with a OHM meter so I can test the wires. Thank you for your help. The other motor has no capacitor. There is no switch attached to it. Do i have to try and find a switch for it?

 

You need to identify the wires/conductors that go directly to the motor winding's if possible, there would typically be 3, maybe 4 if reversible, if you can do this then measure between them.
