Yeah, funny how I want it to survive lol. But yeah okay, I think you’re right!

These are the brushes used in the W1406 machine. D240054 FHP Motor Carbon Brushes (ukwhitegoods.co.uk)
I installed the one and only W1406 on my area in Jan 2008 and my first W1606 on Feb 2008 so yours could well be either.
Hi iadom,
Thanks very much for your reply, any advice or help is much appreciated. Although with today likely being the end of the Easter Bank Holiday sales I’m tempted to very sadly just call it a day on my machine.
The front of the machine says 1606W so it sounds like it won’t be the brushes and I’m back to square one unfortunately.
Cheers.
Mike

Thanks for your response, what makes you say that’s what it could be? How expensive a fix is it, could someone with no knowledge do it or would I need to find an engineer willing to work on these?
IM assuming that’ll still still leave the issue with the door not automatically opening and it’s incontinence?
Cheers.
Mike
