Re: Bosch Exxcel 1100 Express – WFO2265GB wont spin

I appreciate this is an old thread, but it kept getting thrown up while i was searching for a fix.
I had this exact problem, i changed the brushes and they worked… but not at first.

I just would like to add this in case anybody else is stressing!

I fitted the new brushes, re fitted the motor and tested the machine, it still did not work. so I removed the motor again to check everything. It turned out that there was a miniscule piece of dirt in the brush housing which was not allowing the brush to have full contact with the commutator. I could see there was no contact by looking down the side of the motor. I removed the brush, blew out the debris and refitted it. On refitting i noticed that the copper cable had started to fray. I removed the brush, re soldered the wire and replaced everything. Tested the machine and now everything works fine.

1. check you have contact between brush and commutator
2. be careful with the brush, they do fray relatively easily

Just for the record, i ordered the parts from UKwhitegoods on 23rd december and they arrived the next day! awesome!
