Description

Carbon brushes with high efficiency for washing machines

Carbon brushes in the motor make contact with the rotating armature, facilitating the connection of electrical components to send electricity to the drum or pump. These brushes also control the electrical current and regulate 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.

Great product, easy fitted

Looks to be a quality product and easily fitted once I figured out how to release the carbon brushes, brings life back to an old washing machine and saves scraping an otherwise good machine

Good quality and fit

Really happy with these carbon brushes, will keep our ancient English Electric 1535W going for another couple of years. Straighforward to fit, my only issue was that I forgot to bend the magnet retainer clips out. I didn't realise I had forgotten until the machine had it's top cover back on and was pushed back under the worktop counter. It all had to come out again to get the brushes out to fix! Instructions would have helped me. (I'm not an appliance engineer) But apart from that user error on my part very happy.

Excellent Price

Washing machine on its last legs, just needed to get it through another few months. Found the best price here and they arrived the following day, although paid as much for the next day delivery as the brushes! Worth it though as the missus was on my case!

Genuine parts.

Never changed these before, but found quite easy to fit, left one slightly harder to remove and refit. Basic D-I-Y job. Took longer to remove and refit the washing machine than to do the job.

Very easy part to change. Well worth while doing as failure to do so ahead of time led to demise of last machine. For quality well priced parts I will happily continue to use this supplier.
