I find these are rather stiff fixing. if all bolts are off, prize off gently with a screwdriver or similiar

My brushes on my aquarius wma54 need replacing,where is the motor and how do i change the brushes.what type of motor is it

The motor is located at the bottom rear of the washer.
Remove lower rear panel, unplug lead into motor,, remove earth wire.
Remove 2 bolts holding motor to drum, lever motor away from you to remove.
Brushes are located at the end furthest away from the pulley.
There has been more than 1 type of motor fitted to this model, so until you remove the motor, you will not know which brushes you need.

My machine wont spin it washes and empties but no spin?

seems like the carbon brushes on the motor. To do this unplug machine, and then remove the panel at the bottom of machine on the rear, this is just a screwdriver to remove this panel.Next tilt machine forward against a wall so you can see the motor. Remove the belt and then using a 13mm spanner remove the bolts holding motor in place. Now there is a plug with wires to the motor, unplug this and also remove the earth wire. Your motor is then ready to remove. best way is to place it onto floor and then slide under cabinet of machine. You will then see each side of motor 2 plastic casings with a wire going to each. These are the brushes. To remove them you need to remove the 2 screws on each. These black carbon brushes should be at least half inch long. When replacing motor ensure you connect earth wire. Brushes are about £ 15.00. Good luck

How do you remove the brushes from the motor?

You need to remove the lower rear cover of washer.
Remove the drive belt.
Unplug motor lead, and pull off earth wire.
Undo 2 bolts securing the motor to the tub.
Lever back the motor, and keeping a grip on the motor lift out of washer.

The brushes are located at the oppisite end to the pulley, they will probably be enclosed in black plastic holders, but you cannot mistake them, as they each have a wire going to them.
Hope this helps.

How can i remove the carbon brushes to check if they need renewed.I have a Hotpoint Aquarious model no WMA34. Much appreciated Chris

you will need to remove the motor, Isolate the supply by unplugging the machine, remove the rear panel, slacken the motor fixing bolts, remove the drum belt, now remove the motor bolts and drop out the motor, un-plug the motor connections.
The brushes are at the rear usually housed in plastic one on each side, disconnect the single wire and carefully remove the housing (2 torx screws), taking care not to break or loose the brush as it is spring loaded,a typical new brush will protrude 30-40mm from the housing a worn brush will be much shorter 8-15mm and just make contact with the motor commutator. replace if necessary, check the comm for wear, refit in the reverse order.
