Excellent video, Rory. Just finished replacing my carbon brushes in my Bosch WFL2060. By following this video, I was able to get it done and the washer is working again! Thank you so much for sharing how to do this. I got the bushes for less than $40 and saved a costly service call.

A valid point - the edges in many appliances can indeed be very sharp, so be very careful when removing anything. Levering the motor out with a screwdriver is a great tip, although of course once the motor is loose it will still need to be lifted out of the machine, which is where extra care must be taken. Thanks!

Guys, many thanks I also have the Classixx 1200 Express and just put it on its side to take the motor out as the back doesn't come off, actually ended up using a bicycle spanner as a torque wrench won't fit in the gap. My brushes were down to about 4mm after 8 years heavy use. Got the brushes from your website for about a tenner and washer is now running like new. saved me a small fortune and only took 30 mins of my time. Brilliant! I owe you all a pint.

Just repaired our Siemens Siwamat XS 440 washing machine and your video helped a lot. At first I had trouble finding a way to access the motor but finally figured out that only way to access the motor in XS 440 is through the bottom, not from the back. Now our 10 yrs old washing machine is spinning again like a brand new :) Spare carbon brushes cost 18 € and it took an hour and half with all the hassle and figuring out how to access the motor. Saved a big buck, thank you very much!

2024: Machine 24 years old and stopped spinning. Replaced brushes - a bit awkward as the whole back panel doesn't come off. There is only a smaller panel to reveal the belt with no access to the motor mounts. When you said some motors don't need to come out to change the brushes I guessed my Bosch 2260WFL/04 was one of these and was designed to enable replacement of the brushes while the motor was insitu. I think it’s more awkward than removing as space is tight. However, finally, all is back to normal working. Wife very pleased so thanks for the video. It was also a chance to inspect the belt as these machines are usually tucked away between kitchen cabinets and under a worktop so dragging them out requires some motivation to inspect parts. Brushes cost £12 with next day postage. New machine: £500!

Really helpful video thanks! Just managed to complete this repair and feel great about it. For anyone attempting this on a Bosch wvd series washer/dryer. You cannot access the motor from the back panel. Instead you have to drain the machine, fit retaining bolts and access it from underneath. I had the machine on its side. Also, You also cannot completely remove the motor without dismantling other parts but you can remove one bolt to turn the motor round so you can access both points for the brushes. Although this is really quite fiddly it is possible for the amateur who's willing to have a go! Thanks again, you saved me £100s! :)

I was able to do mine by removing the belt and then tipping the machine on its side so I could access the motor from the bottom of the machine. I was able to change the brushes without removing the motor. Your vid gave me the confidence to attempt the job and it worked out fine. Thanks.

You guys are the best!. Carbon brushes went in in about 15 minutes and all's well. The only suggestion I have is that on my Bosch, to remove the clip from the old carbon brush fastener, there is a small lever that must be pushed up from underneath the clip. So, don't try to pull it off (so to speak) with brute force. Other than that, I just saved £350!

Thank you! Unfortunatly, I wan't able to remove the motor to get to the brushes and got a worker in. He ripped me off, stating the motor is broken without even testing it. When I opened the brushes they were completly worn down on one side, and barely there on the other. When I asked how he can be sure, this allone isn't the problem, he said, he never replaces the brushes "because it ruins the collector (?)". Well, I knew I was had, when he stated this. He wanted to take the "broken" motor with him. I said no. Definitly not. Now I'm checking out, if the "broken" old motor is really broken. But it'll take time to get someone to look at it and try it with new brushes. Aaaaanyway: without your video I would have believed him anyway and now I know he is untrustworthy at least and never ever to use him again (and warn people, once I have proof).

Our Bosch washing machine was having symptoms like a wire was loose. The drum wouldn't turn but when we opened it up, pushed and prodded, it would work again for a while. The other symptom was there was graphite everywhere, inside and out. After researching how motors work, we suspected it was the brushes. They were only about 1 cm long when we took them out. So far, so good after replacing the brushes. Many thanks for the videol we couldn't have done it ourselves without it!

All went really well. Although my washing machine is a short one (WLX20462OE/18) and the motor is impossible to remove from the back so I had to flip it to the side using some towels to support the drum as %anotherdiychannel% recommended in their video and get it from the bottom. :) But not out of the woods just yet. Looks like my fridge (also Bosch) is about to get out of order - water in the freezer. I think I bought them together at the same time.

@eSpares 8 жыл бұрын

Frost free fridge freezers can sometime ice up behind the cover and cause the defrost water to stop draining to the back. Check it is not blocked with ice and defrost for at least 24 hours with the door open before suspecting a fault. For more information see another video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtuEistpmNS6lHU.html

Thank you for all your great videos. Just a couple of points. I have a Bosch Classixx 1200 and it is impossible to take the back off (the back and sides are all one sheet). However you can access from underneath, albeit very fiddly. One extra tip that i got: If like me you find that you now will have no washing machine for up to a week waiting on delivery of new carbon brushes, you can reuse the old ones. When you pull them out you see that one is shiny and one is dull. If you cut the wire that is inside the spring of the dull one, then reinsert the brushes. this will have the effect of pushing them in a little more against the motor. It worked for me and should work until the new brushes arrive.

@eSpares 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comments Fergus, just a word of caution. The wire in the brushes has two functions, It ensures a better electrical connection direct to the brush as the current through the spring can produce heat as it contacts the brush that could damage the brush mountings. Secondly if the tips do wear any more they can be pulled through the gap on the housing between the commutator. If this happens the spring can be dragged through and short on more than one segment and damage the control board so get those brushes replaced quickly. We could normally have delivered new brushes in 24 hours if you request this on our web site and are in the British isles.

Hi great easy video - however could you let me know how I get to my pump on a Bosch WFL2450. Once rear removable access panel is off, this only gives access to the rear of the drum. The WM appears to be encased in an all-in-one body. I can see the motor but almost impossible to get at it. Any ideas or am I overlooking the obvious? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you

@hughgallacher9780 10 жыл бұрын

Really useful video. As others here my Bosch did not have a removable back. So followed advice and removed motor with machine on its side. Managed the really difficult and fiddle bit of changing the brushes as per video. When tried to put motor back on its mountings it didn't quite go fully on. So thought I would tighten bolts to push it on. You guessed it, I sheared the head of the bolt right off, so only one bolt holding motor on. Done 1st wash at 1200 spin and all OK. Will 1 bolt be enough?

@mikeozanne9991 10 жыл бұрын

I used this video to fix a Bosch Classixx 1400. The fix works fine and very happy with the spares. Just for the 1400 model, It took me a while to work out how to get the motor out. The entry point is at the bottom of the machine, so I had to lay it on its side and take off the bottom panel. Bit more tricky to get the bolts for the motor as the space is small to give it a good pull, but it came out OK with a bit of a light tap with a hammer. All went back in easily and the bolt tightening re-positioned everything OK.

@lesholmes7419 10 жыл бұрын

I've just followed the video instructions which were clear and easy to follow. To start with all seemed fine but the motor has started making a "whirring sound" when turning. I've taken out the motor and re-checked the brushes were fitted the right way (I think!) after checking the angle of each. Are the brushes just bedding in or is there another way to ensure they run more quietly?

If you find that the commutator has been scored or burnt it can usually be rectified with some fine wet and dry paper being held round it while you manually spin the motor spindle. However, the cost of a new motor and new brushes can vary quite considerably depending on your make and model of machine, but if you suspect that your motor is experiencing problems then checking it for wear and (where necessary) using a method such as the one above is certainly worthwhile! Thanks.

Great vid, very rare when looking to problem solve that you find the exactly the same item your trying to repair mine is a Bosch clasixx 1000 same motor, very rare indeed 👍

Hi Rory, great video. Quick question if my WFO2460AU drains but doesn't spin is this likely to mean the replacement of the brushes or can it be another issue?
