Indesit Washing Machine Carbon Brush

Description

What do washing machine carbon brushes do?

Carbon brushes touch the spinning armature, which helps connect all the electrical components and sends power to the drum or pump. The brushes pull double duty, keeping an eye on how fast the motor goes and making sure everything runs smoothly.

It’s one of the commonly replaced parts, and your carbon brushes need to be replaced when they wear down. Damaged carbon brushes give you reduced motor performance, intermittent operation, or even motor failure.

This carbon brush is from Indesit. It also suits Ariston and Hotpoint washing machines. This is a genuine carbon brush for your washing machine motor.
