Re: Indesit WDG985W – drum not spinning
Just thought I’d post to say thanks for your help. You were quite right that the brushes were a bit of an oddball variety. Went to a local spares and repairs shop and we sifted through what seemed an endless box of brushes.
Eventually we found a set with the correct spade size and with the brushes at the right angle but the cases were wrong. I just put them in the old cases, not ideal but luckily an ok fit.
Machine fired up first time and a test wash/cycle going round as I type this.
Re: Indesit WDG985W – drum not spinning
is this what you are looking for?
didn’t even know this site sold parts just came across the forum through a google search, if you can recommend the required part from your site that would be great 😀
Re: Indesit WDG985W – drum not spinning
ok, cheers will have a look at the motor again.
these look identical to mine, although listed as WDG985WG, i cant find any reference to my WDG985W so assume they are the same?
can you point me in the direction of a recommended parts seller?
Re: Indesit WDG985W – drum not spinning
thanks, so not as simple as giving a model number and getting new ones, i have to know the manufacturer of the motor too? typical.
I will have a look and see if i can see any identifying marks, should be stamped or stuck on the motor yeah?
i thought brushes were brushes, could i not put any carbon brushes in the housings i have?
Re: Indesit WDG985W – drum not spinning, new brushes?
Ok so i managed to get the brushes out without removing the motor.
The brush on the right is not making contact with the commutator when i turn the motor/belt, so i assume new brushes are required?
