Comprehensive Reasons for Leakage in the Samsung Washing Machine Motor
Possible reasons for motor leakage include:
(1) The motor becomes damp, reducing its insulation performance and thus increasing the leakage current.
(2) The insulation layer of the motor winding ages, resulting in decreased insulation performance.
(3) The winding is grounded.
(4) The capacitor leaks electricity after becoming damp or being grounded.
