Have taken the brushes out of my son’s Servis wahing machine (don’t know the model but its fairly old) and need replacements. The brushes are contained in a hard plastic cassete appro 10mm square by 40mm long. The cassete has 2 guide fins on the side. Does anyone know a web site to order these type. TIA
Re: Carbon Brushes
That’s the old Quartz/Sapphire series by the sound of it in which case it’ll need the old Hotpoint brushes…white holder for laminated, black for solid 😉
have a look here and see if you recognise them?
The casette is black although it looks similar to the white ones shown in the link. I don’t know the motor manufacture although on the info on the motor gives a type of BD6222 and a Cat No of 059086
Re: Carbon Brushes
The white ones are a later type fitted to all Hoptoint/GDA type motors until a few years ago. There are some of the black ones still around but the white ones will suffice.

Re: Carbon Brushes
thanks all for responses, went to local appliance spares shop and got white set for £15, washing machine now up and running. Noticed on the label on the motor a number 07/89 inferring the machines date of manufacturer. Were these machines manufactured around this date?? If so it makes it 18 years old which seems pretty good for a washing machine.
Re: Carbon Brushes
On my patch I have many hundreds of Hotpoint & Hoover machines well over 20 years old still going strong. You will need to budget for at least £650 to £800.00 to get that sort of lifespan today.
When you think about it, those old machines cost in the region of £250 to £350 over 20 years ago. Factor in inflation and you will come up with a figure that is around £700 to £800, makes you think, doesn’t it. 😉

And how many Hotpoint and Hoovers bought today will be around in another 20 years time?
Answers on the back of a stamp please 😆Re: Carbon Brushes

The one’s that aren’t used should be just fine. 😉

K.Nope sorry Ken, can’t aqree with that one 😆
Oh please Clive, I was really trying to be unbiased and kind to them. We’re supposed to present a “balanced” and “fair” appraisal untainted by anything that’s gone before.
Okay, I’ll shut up now. You’re right. 😆

(p.s. Can we add Indesit et all in there as well…. please?)
