I’ve got the top off of the machine I’ve got the back off of the machine. The belt is in one piece. Can someone please let me know where the carbon brushes are?
Feeling very stipid but then again I didn’t hear any of my forends husbands ringing the dorr bell to help me out.

ooh, i hope youve unplugged it!!
the brushes are situated at the rear of the motor
take off the belt, remove the 4bolts securing the motor, the brushes are towards the rear of the motor (usually black, secured with 2 screws)
take care cos they can be difficult to take offRe: zanussi fj1296 drum not turning when machine on
Not only did a turn the socket off but I unplugged the plug and disconected the water hoses having turned them off first
I was hoping that the belt had gone it would be alot easier to replace. Will have a go at getting at the brushes. Cooking Christmas dinner for 22 was soooooooo much easier.
Thanks for the help.
Re: zanussi fj1296 drum not turning when machine on
OK silly female question. How do you get the belt off. It’s late I’m tired and life is S**T
dishwasher door won’t shut now!!!!!!
One thing at a time. Bought new fridge freezer so old one can wait. Can wash up by hand.
But washing machine that needs to be fixed.
I am assuming that motor is down the bottom with the shaft coming out that the belt goes around.

Errrrrrr silly me belt is off. amazing what a cup of coffee can do. now for the motor
Re: zanussi fj1296 drum not turning when machine on
motor is out Horray
There is what looks like black candy floss. I take it that that has something to do with the carbon brushes.
Now if I can just work out how to get the wiring off I could take motor to spares shop and sort things from there.
Re: zanussi fj1296 drum not turning when machine on
Motor is sitting in my lap in a carriers as I type this. Time to but machine back in its hole and have a stiff drink me thinks.
Hope spares shop can help

The machine is now all back together and fully working. Took motor to local spares place and they removed and replaced the brushes for me giving the motor a quick clean up at the same time.
Had small leak on cold fill at first but put PDF tape on and it seems to be OK. Just in case I will turn water off when not in use ( both H&C have their off turn offs under the sink) and get new cold fill hose tomorrow.
The man at the spares place was really helpfull be has told me how to hopefully fix catch on dishwasher (I willl head over to that forum in a mo to check things out) and also if I need a new motor on F/F he will see what he can do to sort the right one out. If I take the old one in.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the help I have received. Follow the dishwasher and F/F on the other forums.
Will also be posting a warning in connection to new F?F. They are coming out to that next Saturday afternoon……..
