My old but normally dependable AEG Lavamat 635 stopped spinning adequately; i.e. rather slow at lower speed option, and not at all on higher speed option. I assumed this meant I needed to replace the motor brushes, which I ordered. However, when I went to replace the old brushes, they seemed okay. The commuter seemed okay as well, although I have given both a good clean.
I did however note that wires not only were connected to the brushes, but also to an end cap on the motor. When I opened this up, I found something that looked a bit like a carbon bearing inside surrounded by what looked like a needle bearing assembly, which all seemed to fit rather loosely. Are these wires for a sensor, or are they another kind of brush fitting?
What is this end part called, and what is it for?
What else might be causing the problem with the spin speed?

the part at the back of the motor is the tachometer and is a magnet inside a coil that generates a voltage dependent on speed
if all spin speeds are slow i would expect wash speeds to be slower as well
check pumping if it cant get rid of water drum will drag
