Re: Bosch WFF147S no drum movement, suspected brushes

Awww man.

I see that motors are over 200 ish. That is a no-goer tbh as you say.

Had a wee look without pulling the brushes again tonight.

Seems to be a pretty hefty carbon buildup around the commutator, could that have been from the new brushes?

Are there really no options here?

Why would the pcb be borked?

Is there any way I can test that the PCB would be ok?

Is it possible to refurbish these motors?

Such a bad time to even consider a new machine…..havent got a bean 🙁

Thanks
Andy

Re: Bosch WFF147S no drum movement, suspected brushes

All done and back together……we now have a working machine that I hope will last us many years to come 🙂

Thanks so much for the advice and special thanks to the UK Whitegoods shop….super keen pricing and super rocket ship next day delivery to Belfast!

One wee question, its slightly “ticky” now when turning the drum, I took special care to make sure nothing was caught or touching on reassembly and used a vacuum while cleaning the commutator, would it be fair to assume that there is a certain amount of bedding in for the brushes?

Thanks again
Andy

Re: Using Motor Commutator Cleaner

Think I got it gang…..there is a hole that I can just about get the cleaner in……how hard a scrubbing to I give the commutator?

I have gave it a few turns but still see the mark clearly visible from where the braided wire in the brush scarred it.

Re: Bosch WFF147S no drum movement, suspected brushes

OK bud…….I see the shop here sells some comm cleaner thingy….

Do you know if that is just used through the brush holes or is it a motor strip?

Sorry for all the probably lame questions

Re: Bosch WFF147S no drum movement, suspected brushes

Thank you very much………is the commutator cleanup really required?
