Description

Carbon brushes with high efficiency for washing machines

The motor is equipped with carbon brushes that make contact with the rotating armature.

The carbon brushes make it easier to attach the electrical components needed to send electricity to the drum or pump. They also control the electrical current and the speed and operation of the motor.

What damages the carbon brushes?

Carbon brushes need to be replaced when they wear down or become too short. The constant friction and contact with the spinning armature gradually wear out the carbon brushes over time.

This wear down gives you reduced motor performance, intermittent operation, or even motor failure.

How do you replace these carbon brushes in the washing machine? 

Watch our video on how to replace carbon brushes.

Perfect!

We decided to go for original Bosch parts - although more expensive, the lovely man who fitted it said that he normally uses cheaper brushes, but they have to be filed down to fit. These went in first time. Thanks.

Worth paying extra for OEM brushes

I originally bought the cheaper version of these brushes. However, due to my rough treatment trying to fit them, the connecting wire came off the brush. I decided it is impossible to fit the brushes on my machine without removing the motor, as shown in the Ransome's video, and I felt that the fact that the cheaper ones had broken, admittedly due to my fault, indicated it would be worth spending the extra on OEM brushes. They are better made and while I am sure the cheap ones would work, why not spend the £15 extra when you are saving £500 on a new machine.

Thanks to the website being set up in a way that was easy to find the part we needed. The item was exactly what we needed and was delivered on time. The videos on the website also helped tremendously by giving us clear guidance as to how to access the bit and replace the old item with new!

BOSCH WASHING MACHINE BRUSHES

Great product and at a great price also fast delivery . I have used Ramson Spares a few times now. The web site is easy to use and if cant find the part you are looking for you can send them a email and Ramson will find it for you. The brushes for my BOSCH washing machine are a wee bit fiddly to fit due to having to feed the spring into the locating hole making sure you take note on what way the old one,s were facing when they were removed. Once the brushes are fitted my machine was good as new.

New Brushes Revive Washing Machine

10 year old Siemens washing machine drum stopped rotating, but all else seemed to work OK. Research on the web made me think the brushes were worn, as I had already checked the fan belt. I ordered the original part, watched the video on Ransom Spares, and fitted the brushes. All works OK for now!! The brushes are of the carbon brush and spring variety which makes them fiddly to feed into the slot to fit. However, I managed it in the end.

Got my washing machine working again

A lot pricier than non-genuine parts but I didn’t want to take any chances. After fitting these brushes with the help of online videos, and then some trial end error to cancel the fault code, my machine is up and running again to give me many more years of service hopefully.

Quality genuine product (recommended over "equivalent" or "compatible" parts)

Decided I needed genuine replacement brushes for my Bosch washing machine as "compatible" brushes fitted only a few months previously had let me down. Went searching on the web and RansomSpares came up trumps - best price and promptly despatched. The brushes, although a bit fiddly to fit (as regards the springs), are now operational as is the washing machine. If these last as long as the originals then that's good enough for me. Thank you RansomSpares! P.S. The quality of these genuine parts is evidently superior to "compatible" or "equivalent" brushes. So I've learned my lesson there.
