Re: Bosch WAE32464GB/01 drum not turning

Got it working… it was the brushes after all.

Turns out that one of the new brushes wasn’t making good contact with the commutator (or slip ring). This was made clear when I got the AVO on it.

That was because the brush was very tight in its channel, and not free to move, so the spring couldn’t push it onto the commutator.

I freed up a little retaining clip that was restricting the brush, and once it was free to move, everything worked fine.
