Many thanks again. You have been a great help
Re: Bosch washer whirring after Carbon Brush change
I’ve taken the motor and brushes to the engineer where I got them. He’s inspected them and thinks they are fitted fine but need bedding in.
I’m going to put it on spin to do this. I’ll keep an eye out for sparks from the motor as I do but I think that may be the issue.Re: Bosch washer whirring after Carbon Brush change
The segments are all clean and there are no obvious sparks. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I do think it may be they are bedding in, may be wishful thinking!
The motor did not make the noise before so that may indicate it to be the brushes.
If the brushes were put in the wrong way for a short time would this damage the comm? I don’t think they were but I managed to convince myself they were!!
Thanks for the advice Martin!!!
Re: Bosch washer whirring after Carbon Brush change
I have seen people sand them down. Would that work as the machine does operate just makes a whirring noise during operation. I have only let it run for a few seconds before stopping it.!!
Re: Bosch washer whirring after Carbon Brush change
Sorry, what’s the motor comm?
It does appear the click occurs when the edges of the carbon brush run against the grooves in the copper cylinder.
Re: Bosch washer whirring after Carbon Brush change
They were £20 so thought they would be ok.
The shop owner has suggested I bring the motor in. I’m hoping that he will see they aren’t fit for purpose and do a refund or get me some that don’t grind.
Not too fussed about price just want ones that work!!
