Dish Washer Motor

[coldspot]

This weekend I found and stripped the motor out of a Old Dish washer

"KitchenAid"

"S62NXHRJ-7199"

Part 242892

"HP 1/2", "115/60/1", "AMP 7.9"

















This unit has run and start coils and the run coils are

0.05" or about #15

Start coils look to be about #25

About 2" across the coils

I'd better order some #29's for this one.

From the looks of the run coils this has some real power.

I've done dishes before and remember how hard it was so this

motor was a hard worker before and maybe it will be again in

the better life as a wind gen. lol

Is there only three wires coming out . you might have to find connection between start and run windings and seperate them . to make two different single phaze windings.I have not done a moter conversion yet but it looks to be easyer than building from scratch.keep us posted. on how it works.jlt inkom id

Usually the white wire goes to the connection for both coil sets. And yes, its easier.

jlt-, (would still like that number for the water jet cutter guy, please)

Four wires,

white, red, blue and black

All has innerconection, (continuity)

They have about 13-20 ohms between any two of them using that dam

$225.00 Fluke 23 multimeter

I'll still need to retest with my $4.00, El-cheapO

multimeter, (that seems to work better that the Fluke 23 for this

ohm testing)

What at first I thought was the iner-conection point, turns out to

be the built-in "Thermo-sensor".

White and blue wire running to it.

While this is just a cheap-O motor,

Bushing in rear end but does have a real bearing in front end

and a drilled and tapped shaft for easy hub mounting!

re coldspot Pat burrlington 775 3155. Also he may still have the the plans to my 15 inch discs on his machine.. it is 5 hole pattern for a rear hub from 91 buick regal.

With an alias like Coldspot, wouldn't it be more appropriate to pick on a Hotpoint diswasher?  (sorry, I couldn't help it) :^)

Sorry mate, that looks like a two pole motor. It can work but it is far from ideal. Unless your magnets are really strong and with a small gap, you would need high rpms to get it up to charging speed. Peolpe here have built some conversions with 2 poles but I'd say the minimum to look for is 4 pole.

Good Luck,

With the Fluke, you might need to manually set the range rather than letting it autorange. And Fluke aren't the only meters with this problem.

Thanks-

Amanda-

Yea, I know that about the meters,

but was thinking it was the leads on the fluke.

SparWeb-

Good one, LOL !!!

Warrior-

You might be right-

Coils do look a bit funny, but just like the size

of the wire!
