Make: AEG
Model Number: Lavamat W 1250 Electronic (PNC 914 002 597 00)
Serial Number: 50959031I am hoping someone out there will be able to help diagnose the problem I have with a 7 year old AEG washing machine that has had a hard life with 2 or 3 wash cycles per day.
At first there was a slight gravelly/sandy noise when the drum was rotating – this lasted about a day – then the next day the machine would go straight to the end of the cycle before finishing or even draining the water. I checked the machine without a load in it and it seemed to work fine – filling, draining, rotating and spinning etc. Then when I put a half load the same problem as before occurred. The gravelly/sandy noise has stopped but this has been replaced with a slight mid-pitched hum as if the machine is stuck waiting for the next instruction that doesn’t want to come. Any help diagnosing the problem and recommending a solution would be much appreciated. I will take full responsibility if any proposed replacement parts do not solve the problem. 😕

The motor brushes have worn down and only just making contact in order the drum rotates. Put any load in and it won’t. Solution = Replace motor brushes. 😀
Re: Tempermental AEG Washing Machine
That being the case, from the service info, it should an FHP motor that’s in that model and therefore it should be carbon brushes like these that are needed:

Do check before ordering though.
