no
The answer is both yes and no.It actually depends on the kind of washing machine in question.The problem is the motion.A washing machine need some kind of an engine or motor in order to move the cloths back and forth. This can of course be done manually.If we rule out manual washing machines, and also only count in electrical ones then these can be made in two different ways.The motor causing the tumbling or the motion in the washing machine can be made with both permanent magnets like NeoDym, or with purely electrical pulses creating strong electromagnetic fields.Most motors in washing machines made today are made without magnets. It is cheaper to make purely electrical motors where the electricity provides the magnetic fields needed. By electronically rotate the magnetic field around the axis, this will force the motion of the motor. It would use less electricity to make the motors with NeoDym magnets but it would also cost more to produce.As a conclusion: We can not make an electrical washing machine that operate without magnetic fields, but magnetic fields does not have to be made by magnets.
Yes - there are magnets in the motor assembly. It's what makes the motor turn.
PMDC-Permanent Magnet DC motor is a DC machine where the Permanent Magnets form the stator of the machine instead of conventional Field winding. It works on the same principle of electromagnetic induction.
Yes, magnets are used in washing machines to activate sensors that control the water flow and to help drive the motor that rotates the drum. Magnets are also used in the door latch mechanism to keep the door securely closed during operation.
The stator of an electric motor repels the permanent magnets with the help of an alternating current passing through the windings of the stator. This creates a rotating magnetic field that interacts with the permanent magnets on the rotor, causing it to turn and drive the motor.

Permanent magnets are needed in an electric motor to create a constant magnetic field that interacts with the current flowing through the motor windings, resulting in motion. The magnets help to generate torque and provide a more efficient and controlled operation of the motor compared to electromagnets. With permanent magnets, the motor requires less power input to produce the required output.
Yes, some washing machines have magnets in them. These magnets are commonly used in the motor to drive the drum and in the door latch mechanism to keep the door shut during the cycle.
About the price of a new machine
The flux density of an electromagnet can be easily controlled. It's also easy and cheap to produce a large flux density with an electromagnet which is necessary for such large dc motors. Permanent magnets are generally expensive. For such a large motor,a very large permanent magnet will be needed for that motor which will not be ideal.AnswerElectromagnets are more powerful than temporary magnets, and -as pointed out above- their flux density can be controlled.
