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)
  • Speed1400 RPM (pump) / 4-6 RPM (timer drive)
  • Insulation ClassClass B (130°C)
  • IP RatingIPX4 (splash-proof)
  • Bearing Type: Sleeve bearing / Ball bearing
  • Shaft Diameter5mm – 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)
  • WindingsEnameled copper wire (Class B insulation)
  • RotorAluminum die-cast squirrel cage
  • HousingGlass-fiber reinforced polyamide (PA66-GF30)
  • ShaftStainless 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.
