Sallysherman Report post Posted September 25, 2019 Hi all, I am cleaning up my mother's Consew 225 so that I may sell it for her. I looked at the motor and saw these wires sticking out. My mother cannot remember and may have used the machine with these wires sticking out. Before I plug in the machine to see if it works....any ideas what they could be? What I should do with them? Thanks for any advice!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted September 25, 2019 They are for the light & should be 6 volts,you should take the end cover off & see if these wires come off of the windings or are connected to the wiring block where the others connect,if it comes from the windings it's 6 volt for sure.

mikesc Report post Posted September 25, 2019 I'd put an insulated end cap ( the screw on type ) on each one as soon as you know what they are , to stop them touching each other ( or anything else ) and "shorting out"..sparking and so on.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sallysherman Report post Posted September 25, 2019 Thank you CowboyBob and Mikesc!! There is a light connected separately, so maybe it previously was used for the light. The cap must have come off. I will follow your suggestions to take it apart and investigate first and then cap them off. Thanks again!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted September 25, 2019 I would consider removing them altogether if you're opening it up. I doubt if many would use this connection these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
