Bosch Classixx 1000 How to check brushes ?

Hi,

My washing machine drum wont spin and someone said that it might be the brushes, so im trying to get at them to check them, I was told to remove 2 bolts and the motor should just come forward but not having any joy, I have attached 2 pics if anyone has any ideas, thanks.

Big screwdriver, prise it to the rear. It’s a very tight fit…..

Brushes are in two sleeves on the side of the motor.

Mark , as Penguin sayd , you’re practically there . Get a big flat headed screwdriver and insert it between the motor and rear tub just behind where you took the two big bolt screws out from the back . It’ll just need levering off…..

One point , when you remove the brushes , make a note of which edge went on what side as they will be slanted .

Thanks for the tips, turns out I didnt need to get the motor off I manged to get into them via the sides.

Just by luck I found this youtube video and it seems to be the same model as mine.

Um, yes…. You will never fit the new ones with the motor in situ …….. Get the damn thing out where you can get at it. You’ll thank yourself later.

Thanks for the help I manged to lever the motor off to the side with a big screwdriver, for some reason last night I thought the motor would come off towards me.

Cheers
