    I’ve had two of these now! I thought the first one might of been a freak occurance. But nope, women washing twice/three times a day, have worn down the brushes in two seperate ISE5’s after 18ish months of washing 😕

    The bad bit, is that the machine dies when the brushes go OC. Put it on spin, you hear the pump for a few seconds, then as soon as the motor should come in the machine stop (with the lights still lit). I’m persuming it then goes into fault mode if you wait around long enough; personally, I aint got that much time to find out 😉

    The good bit is, they’re a doddle to change 😀 and it can be easily done without removing the motor. The motor cover gets in the way a little, but aint so bad.

    Anyhoo, now I’ve done two, I was wondering if anyone else had done any? Especially Iadom with his entire army of ISE5’s out there?

    Yep did a pair on a 16 month old two weeks ago.

    This sort of faulting is no different to alot of machines. My ISE5 the other week beeped out ‘carbon brushes worn’ in a kind of morse code. 😉

    I will put money on the new ISE5 brushes lasting longer!!!!

    Yep, done several sets already, two in a week recently, all around the 18 month mark but all on very well used machines.

    A welcome return for anyone who has placed their faith and support into the ISE project IMHO. 8)

    Indeed 🙂

    Capacitors on the new ISE5 I suppose. I ain’t looked to see if it is an old style bolt-on capacitor, or capacitors on a module? 😕
