AEG 1210880V5
Category: Appliance Electromechanical Component
Product Overview:
The AEG 1210880V5 is a spare part motor assembly used in AEG washing machines and dishwashers. The “V5” suffix denotes revision 5 of this component. It typically functions as a drain pump motor or program timer drive motor depending on the appliance variant.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Part Number: 1210880V5 (Revision 5)
- Voltage: 220-240V AC / 50Hz
- Power Rating: 20W – 40W (typical for timer/pump motor)
- Speed: 1400 RPM (pump) / 4-6 RPM (timer drive)
- Insulation Class: Class B (130°C)
- IP Rating: IPX4 (splash-proof)
- Bearing Type: Sleeve bearing / Ball bearing
- Shaft Diameter: 5mm – 8mm (varies by variant)
- Weight: Approximately 250g – 400g
Functional Features:
- Drain Pump Function: Evacuates wash water from drum at end of cycle.
- Timer Drive Function: Mechanically advances program timer cam at set intervals.
- Thermal Protection: Built-in thermal fuse prevents motor burnout.
- Universal Mounting: Compatible with multiple AEG washing machine models (LAVAMAT series).
Material Composition:
- Stator Core: Silicon steel laminations (0.5mm)
- Windings: Enameled copper wire (Class B insulation)
- Rotor: Aluminum die-cast squirrel cage
- Housing: Glass-fiber reinforced polyamide (PA66-GF30)
- Shaft: Stainless steel AISI 303
- Impeller (pump variant): Technopolymer (PPS/PA66 blend)
Structural Features:
- Cylindrical motor body with mounting flange.
- Electrical connector (typically 2-pin or 3-pin spade connectors).
- Impeller housing integrated (pump variant).
- Rubber vibration dampening feet.
Working Principle:
AC voltage applied to stator windings creates a rotating magnetic field. This induces current in the aluminum squirrel-cage rotor, producing torque. In pump variant, the rotating shaft drives a centrifugal impeller that pushes water out through the drain hose. In timer variant, the motor advances a mechanical cam that switches electrical contacts to progress the wash program. The thermal fuse opens the circuit if winding temperature exceeds 150°C.
Key Advantages:
- OEM exact-fit replacement — revision V5 ensures compatibility.
- Thermal fuse protection — prevents fire hazard from locked rotor.
- IPX4 rated — resistant to splash water.
- Long service life — Class B insulation rated for 20,000+ hours.
Applicable Industries/Use Cases:
AEG LAVAMAT washing machines, AEG dishwashers, appliance repair workshops, OEM spare parts distribution.
Installation Requirements:
- Disconnect appliance from mains before replacement.
- Align motor shaft with pump impeller or timer cam.
- Secure with original mounting screws (typically M4 × 10mm).
- Connect electrical plug fully — partial connection causes overheating.
Usage Precautions:
- Check for blocked impeller before installing new motor (blockage causes burnout).
- Verify part number 1210880V5 matches exactly — do not use V1-V4 revisions interchangeably.
- Do not run motor dry (pump variant) — always ensure water is present.
- Replace thermal fuse if blown — do not bypass.
