Need to replace carbon brushes. How do you replace the brushes? I can take the motor out but can't take the brushes out. When I push and pull the old brushes, the washer will spin, then a few days later it won't.
From Howtomendit: key point I missed was that you need to pull the motor apart after you have taken it out of the machine before you can get access to the screws holding the brushes in. (ie: unscrew the four bolts). Not as difficult or scary as it looked!
please read thro first.
first unplug it, pull it out so you have some work space, take off back
plate, remove belt undo (should be white rectangle plastic block with
wire attached), remove green+yellow wire undo bolts which hold motor to
drum, gently ease out motor (please be aware of sharp edges), run
screwdriver down 1 side of motor so you put it back together same way
you took it apart, unscrew 4 bolts that hold motor together take top
bit of dont loose spacer ring, place to 1 side, remove middle comutator
the end the brushes are touching will need a proper clean wd40 maybe
wipe clean with cloth so its not dull let dry, undo carbon brushes,
take plate off also clean then clean what they were attached to when
dry replace in reverse order gently (with new brushes) then replace
back on machine plug back in and test by running spin program found at
bottom of dail if i have my mod/num right let it get to full spin watch
motor if it sparks an looks like blackpool illuminations motors no good
will need new 1 sorry.steven

We had the same problem and am afraid you'll need a service man to call to replace the brushes.It wiil cost you about $150.00(NZ) based on a call we had about 18 months ago.
