Hi all i'm a little stuck been asked by my folks to have a look at their washing machine as they all think if it has a plug on it i know the whole workings, design, and how to repair it. My problem is there seems to be a short on the motor when running i know its not the pump or element as have tested them and both fine. There is a blue flash when running and out goes the rcd. Now i know this may be a leak dripping onto motor but all seems dry. I cant seem to remember how to test the motor as there are multiple connection as ran off the pcb i have meggered the connections at 250 then 500v and seem to be getting good readings of plus 250 M ohms apart from the centre 2 connections where i am getting 7.5M ohms. Any pointers on washing machine motor testing will be greatly recieved.
