This is a pair of genuine carbon brushes for your washing machine motor.
Carbon brushes press against the spinning armature inside the motor, helping transfer electricity to power the drum or pump. They also play a key role in regulating motor speed, keeping your machine running smoothly and efficiently.
Over time, they wear down—just like brake pads. Worn or damaged brushes can cause weak motor performance, stop-start issues, or even complete motor failure. If that sounds familiar, it’s time to swap them out with a fresh set.
These washing machine carbon brushes are from Whirlpool. You can also check other suitable brands from the list above.
Before ordering, please verify that this set fits your model using our compatibility checker.
quality product (carbon brushes), a good price, sent and received and relatively easy to fit with the help of a bit of youtube to save me a ton of money repairing our washing machine instead of throwing it out and buying a new one. Responsive customer support when we had an issue with the post. all good. thank you
After 21 years my old Indesit washing machine had given up spinning. I'm no mechanical engineer but I guessed correctly that the brushes were the likely suspects of this malfunction. After some online tuition in washing machine repair, I felt confident to give it a go. Removing the old brushes was a little difficult because of one very tight screw but persistence paid off. Having the old brushes to hand made identifying the correct replacement part very easy. The photos on the Ransom Spares website are clear and detailed. Once they arrived (which took a little longer than expected) installation of the new carbon brushes was simple and took mere minutes. My old Indesit is now back up and spinning, hopefully for another 21 years!
Very pleased with these carbon brushes easy to fit. Ransom spares tick all the boxes value for money fast delivery well packaged and they have saved me buying a new washing machine after watching there helpful video you cant go wrong. Make sure you do all the checks to make sure they will be compatible with your machine first.
Dead easy to fit, just two screws hold each brush and was able to change without removing the motor.
My washing machine recently stopped turning and I was quoted £129 by Indesit to get someone out to fix it. After reading various guides online, I figured it was probably the carbon brushes. Thanks to this website I not only was able to find the right product but was also guided through the process step by step thanks to the brilliant video - and my washing machine is now working again. I'm delighted! I didn't have any problems with the brushes fitting, but it did take me a few minutes to realise the carbon brushes pop out by releasing the little plastic clip at the end – and that you do this after having fitted them. Other than that (and having to buy the right nut drivers), it was a breeze!
