Update: the wash cycle went fine except the fast spin at the end. I decided to go for the pump ... and of course flooded the kitchen ! I have found a rusty 50 pence coin in the pipe feeding the pump, just at the entrance of the pump (could it be it ? it's nearly the diametre of the pipe and pump...

WOW so many videos that's impressive ! Thank you Andy :-D I have now changed the brushes, refitted and rebolted the motor. The trickiest part was to put back the belt. I have tested the fast spin with an empty drum, but no luck. The pump is pumping but the fast spin won't start. I am now...

Hello again, I have changed the carbon brushes, although the old ones had 1 cm left, rebolted the motor, refitted the belt and just tried the machine with an empty drum for the spin: no luck :-( One can hear the pump pumping but the fast spin won't start :-( It seems that the problem comes...

Playing with and looking at the old brushes and the new ones, I have eventually found out: for those particular brushes, you need to open the plastic holder. Around the brush, there is a metal frame, with a little tag on the side holding the carbon brush. With a small screwdriver, you just have...

That's what I thought. My phonecall to Hoover was useless. I was told that if I buy the parts, I am assumed to know how to use them. Otherwise I need to call an engineer ... for £119. They won't tell me over the phone how to release the carbon brushes. Fair enough. It was worth asking. Anne-Marie

When ordering the new ones, they come with the complete fitting (plastic holder and carbon brush). But the carbon brush is held inside the plastic holder and does not come out. I cannot see any releasing feature such as a plastic or metal tag. Maybe the brush will come out automatically once I...

Hello, Following my post of last week, I have just received the spare brushes for my washing machine and fitted them. Their model is the following...

Hello John, I have just received, at last, the spare brushes (the old ones had 1 cm of carbon left). I have fitted them, checking they were correctly oriented and have reconnected the wires. The 'armature' inside the motor is turning nicely (by hand). As you said, the brushes came in a...

Hello John, a big thank you for your reply. I have found a video showing how to remove the motor and change the brushes (http://www.espares.co.uk/part/washing-machines/hoover/p/1085/107/0/0/101500/washing-machine-carbon-br.html). That's helping a lot :) The motor of my machine is at its...

Hello, I have a Hoover SE220 washing machine, which is over 12 years old. It washes perfectly fine, but the drum doesn't fast spin anymore at the end of a wash, even with an empty drum. The water doesn't stay in the machine, so it is not blocked. I have checked at the back of the machine: I...
