    Industrial Electricians Only:

    Washing Machine Pump Failing Pat Test

    Can you do the test on 250volts as I had this exact same thing on a washing machine last week,on 500v it failed but on 250v the reading was 1.49 and it passed. Depending on the machine you can get false readings. Clive.
