The machine washes perfectly normally (as far as I can tell) but will not do the final spin. The drum rotates and so the water is leaving, but not at a spin speed. The load is balanced, so I don’t think that’s the problem, as I’ve done more than one wash now without a spin. Any suggestions gratefully received, thanks.
Re: Bosch Exxcel 1400 Not Spinning
how old is w/m…how often do you use it?? if you’ve had it for a while and used it frequently…more than 3 to 4 times a week it could be the brushes, ..UNPLUG, back panel off. motor off, check length of brushes…should be about 3/4 inch long. trickey to get out and fiddly to get back in..take a real good look at the cut of the brushes when you get them out and insert them back the same way…you will know if you’ve got it right as when you turn the armature shaft there will not be a clicking sound.

The machine’s about 4 or 5 years old and is used more than 4 times a week, so I suspect it could be the brushes. If it is (haven’t done any checking yet) will I need to get an engineer in to replace them? Presumably if they’re less than 3/4″ that’s the problem? Thanks btw for your quick reply.

mozzy, if you get the pack panel off. you will need a 13mm sanner to release the mounting bolts on the motor and a pair of long nosed pliers(narrow points) to fiddle the exsiting brushes out and the new ones back in…if you are very patient and have a bit of time you should be ok to get the new brushes in. try it…sieze the opportunity to challenge your manual dexterity.

Hi
Far easier with the motor off to change brushes.
The brushes if required are here but if you pop your model number up which can be found around the door inner or on the rear of the applaince; then we can be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}.
Please unplug first before attempting any work on the appliance :plug:Greg
