Abstract
An electric motor assembly suitable for use in a laundry washing machine or dryer or washer-dryer, is of the axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor direct-drive type, with the stator coils carried by a rotor bearing housing component to provide a primary heat conduction pathway from the stator coils to the bearing housing component, and to a drum of the machine. The motor may be positioned between axially spaced bearings mounting the rotor.
