Re: Sparking after replacing brushes – Hoover WDM120

Apologies again for my lack of knowledge but I am keen to learn.

The commutator is what the brush sits against? Do I have to dress this out of the machine or can I do this whilst installed and just turn it round?

Is it just a case of trying to get the most contact area between the commutator and brush? If I didn’t bother doing this on a 4 year old macine would it matter?

I will get onto howstuffworks.com to have a look again but it really doesn’t get down to the detail here. If there are any sites you can reccomend to increase my understanding I would be grateful.

I only found this site through a necessity to fix my washing machine and am enjoying learning from you guys.

My washing machine is running quite loud now in a whining way, could this be because of not dressing?

Thanks for the reccomendation on original parts. I would have got these but no parts suppliers near me seem to stock originals, only patterns 😥

I have already kept the old brushes “just in case” 😉

I realised the 5 year parts but its not great when you pay labour and the parts are under £20

Out of curiosity are you aware of any detailed differences between manufacturer and non-manufacturer brushes?

This is a really friendly helpful forum compared to some I’ve come across. Keep up the good work. 😀
