What kinds of home appliances are powered by electric motors?

by Industrial Motors & Machining Inc. • 23 March 2025
Electric motors are a crucial part of modern life, powering many of the appliances we use every day. These motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, enabling various household devices to function efficiently. Without them, many daily tasks would require much more effort and time. From keeping food fresh to making household chores easier, electric motors are essential in a wide range of appliances. At Industrial Motors & Machining, we provide expert electric motor service in the greater Denver area. Here are five common home appliances that rely on electric motors. Washing Machines A washing machine’s ability to clean clothes effectively depends on its motor. The motor drives the agitator or drum, enabling the washing process by spinning clothes and mixing detergent with water. In modern machines, variable-speed motors allow for different washing cycles, adjusting the intensity based on fabric type and load size. Refrigerators Refrigerators play a vital role in preserving food by maintaining a cool internal temperature. The compressor, which is powered by an electric motor, circulates refrigerant through the system to remove heat from the interior. This process ensures that perishable items stay fresh for longer. The efficiency of the motor directly impacts the refrigerator’s energy consumption and cooling performance. Vacuum Cleaners Vacuum cleaners rely on electric motors to generate suction, which allows them to pick up dirt and debris from floors and carpets. The motor powers a fan that creates airflow, pulling particles toward the vacuum's filter or bag. Ceiling Fans Ceiling fans help regulate indoor temperatures by circulating air, providing a cooling effect during hot weather. The electric motor inside the fan drives the blades, determining their speed and direction. Many ceiling fans now come with energy-efficient motors that reduce electricity consumption while delivering powerful airflow. Dishwashers Dishwashers use electric motors to power the pump and spray arms that clean dishes. The motor helps circulate water and detergent, ensuring thorough cleaning. Advanced dishwashers feature energy-efficient motors that improve performance while reducing water and electricity usage.

4 Precautions to Take When Storing an Electric Motor

by Industrial Motors and Machining • 22 February 2025
Proper storage of an electric motor is essential to ensure its longevity and performance when it’s eventually put back into operation. Whether you’re storing a motor for a short period or an extended duration, taking the right precautions can prevent issues such as moisture damage, rust, and electrical failure. Here are four precautions to take when storing an electric motor. Keep the Motor in a Dry, Temperature-Controlled Environment Moisture is one of the biggest threats to an electric motor during storage. Exposure to high humidity can lead to corrosion, insulation degradation, and internal damage. It’s important to store the motor in a dry environment with stable temperatures to prevent condensation from forming inside the housing. Protect Against Dust and Contaminants Dirt, dust, and other contaminants can accumulate on an idle electric motor and cause problems when it’s put back into use. Over time, debris can enter the ventilation openings, coat the windings, and interfere with the cooling system. To prevent this, cover the motor with a protective wrap or a breathable tarp that shields it from dust while allowing air circulation. Maintain Proper Electrical Insulation Over time, insulation materials can absorb moisture, leading to electrical failures when the motor is put back into service. Before storing the motor, ensure that all electrical connections are properly insulated and secured. If the motor will be stored for an extended period, testing the insulation resistance periodically can help detect any degradation before it becomes a serious issue. Store the Motor in a Stable Position The way a motor is positioned during storage can impact its long-term condition. It should be stored on a stable, vibration-free surface to prevent unnecessary stress on the housing and internal components. If the motor is large or heavy, it should be securely mounted on a pallet or support structure to prevent damage from movement or accidental tipping.
