Fully Automatic Washing Machine Motors
Two catalogue models carry the fully automatic brief in their names: the XM-8138-2 “Auto Motor for Washing Machine” and the XM-8198 “Automatic Washing Machine Motor”, each listed at 50–180 W. Fully automatic is additionally a stated application of the whole wash range. This page documents the two anchor models and the duty they serve.

01 The Duty
One motor, the whole cycle
A fully automatic machine runs its entire programme — wash, rinse, spin extraction — from one tub and, in belt-drive designs, one motor under electronic control. The duty is a long sequence of programmed agitation in both directions followed by a sustained high-speed spin, repeated for years without user intervention. Consistency is the product: the motor’s starting behaviour, torque delivery and thermal conduct must be the same on the ten-thousandth cycle as on the first, because the control programme assumes it.
It is also why fully automatic programmes qualify motors by sample endurance on the actual machine cycle rather than by bench figures alone: the control programme’s assumptions — how the drum accelerates, how the load is sensed, how the spin profile ramps — are embodied in the motor’s behaviour, and only the machine itself can testify to the match.
That is the context for the catalogue’s two automatic models sitting in the middle power band, 50–180 W, between the 25–220 W general wash range and the 80–220 W higher-output pair. The photographs in the catalogue show the type clearly — wide slotted mounting feet. One caution on the photographs: the rating plate visible on the XM-8198’s listing photo reads XD-135, a different designation from the listing model XM-8198 — do not use that photograph’s plate to match a motor. Whether XM-8198 suits your machine is confirmed per enquiry against your own motor’s data. The catalogue page reproduces both listings in full.
02 Specifying
Matching an automatic programme
- Machine: top-load or front-load fully automatic (the format pages cover each duty: top load, front load)
- Capacity & drive: rated capacity, belt-drive layout, target spin performance
- Incumbent motor: nameplate photo — model, voltage, frequency, power, capacitor data if shown
- Electrical: 220–240 V or 110 V; 50 or 60 Hz; winding material preference
- Programme: quantities and destination market; certification documents your finished machine requires
Where a fully automatic range is heading upmarket — inverter control, direct drive — the same company’s official BLDC and DD lines take over, scoped on the inverter motors page. The induction models on this page remain the volume answer for conventional fully automatic machines.
03 Questions
Fully automatic motors, answered plainly
XM-8138-2 or XM-8198 — which one for my machine?
Both are listed at the same power band and price range; the difference is settled by the incumbent motor’s data — mounting, shaft and electrical match. Send the nameplate; the reply names the model.
Are these motors suitable for inverter control?
These are mains induction models for conventional control. Inverter-driven programmes belong to the BLDC/DD lines — see the inverter page for how that scoping works.
Can the two models be mixed in one order?
Yes — state each model’s quantity; catalogue models share packing and terms across the range.
Match the automatic model by nameplate
The nameplate photo plus capacity and quantities — the reply names XM-8138-2 or XM-8198, with the confirmed data and price.
