Apparently our washing machine is a 'switched reluctance motor' ( no brushes )

but our tumble drier is a single phase induction motor and when it stopped working a couple of years ago I had to fit a new start / run capacitor, cost me about £3 from Maplins - scandalous profiteering .... now Maplins have gone I get stuff like that from Farnel or RS now, at least quality is pretty much guaranteed and they won't explode and set your house on fire.
