Took lid off washer to locate the motor carbon brushes but unsure where they aere
SOURCE: installing carbon brushes on Bosch WFK 2401
Remove rear panel of washer.
Remove drive belt.
Unscrew the 2 bolts that hold motor to tub back.
Remove motor plug
Lever notor back with a screwdriver or similar, keeping a firm hold on motor.and remove motor
At the rear end of motor away from pulley you will see the brushes and the armature.
Remove brushes, and if there is less than 4 or 5mm of carbon left, then replace them.
Lightly clean the armature with emery cloth.
Refit in reverse order. Test.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

u can sometimes tip the washer backwards and with a torch u should be able to see the carbon brushes and the 2 star screws which hold them in undue these screws and the carbon brushes will pop out very easily for u to change them m8

you seem to know what your doing. yes you do have to remove the motor in order to remove those carbon brushes, while your at it, you can also adjust the screwing/bearings of the bolts to hinder the machine from moving a lot.
SOURCE: Washer won't spin.
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.
