I pulled mine out of dumpster, so at first I didn't even know what it was from, but at some point I spotted the same motor on ebay being sold as a replacement washing machine motor - so... Yup. If you look closely at the pictures, the output shaft has a very small diameter multi-groove pulley on it, similar to the fan belt drive on your Mercedes. Obviously the corresponding pulley on the washing machine basket must be huge! Interestingly, this points to the conclusion that most modern washing machines have to have some sort of 220V 3 phase variable frequency motor drive somewhere on the circuit board, complete with encoder speed feedback and PID loop.
