Thanks so much for your help! 8) We now have a fully working washing machine and Mrs Teddy is chuffed. The brushes cost £16.00 and the fitting has taken me most of the day, on and off, but we have saved ourselves a lot of money thanks to you. :D :D :D Teddy :wink:

It is too tight to do that. The motor is fitted onto the body of the drum with two bolts and a plug, ie three poits, so I can't fit motor losely and then tighten. Once the motor is in place the belt won't fit and I can't fit the motor with belt on. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Thanks for...

That's sorted now, took them off myself and got the new ones, just little springs with the carbon on them. They were easy to fit back. Next problem is replacing the motor, got it in place but now need to fit belt. Is there an easy way to do it or do I need to take off motor and fit while...

So, do I have to remove the motor then? Is this complicated or not? I used to just fit the brushes in situ in our old machine. Cheers Teddy :wink:

I know! Another mad DIY idiot who has taken his machine to bits, only to find he can't find the brushes! I have the motor at the bottom and there are several white bits, but none look like the brushes on my old machine. Anyone got any patience left for an old fart who doesn't know what...
