Re: BOSCH WET2820 Washing Machine
Just wanted to post a ‘thanks’ on this thread. My WET-2820 had the same fault, and I ordered the set of brushes mentioned, which do indeed fit perfectly.
One thing though, Changing the brushes on this machine is not as easy as other models where they slide out….things get a little involved! On my machine, the brushes are buried in the motor. To get at them, you have to remove it from the machine (easily done via the rear access panel). remove the motor ends by undoing 4 long bolts on its sides, and then remove the plastic assembly from inside one of the end caps. The next problem is that the old brushes have copper flyleads that are spot-welded to tracks on the plastic carrier. I cut the flyleads at the brush end, and soldered the new brushes fly leads on to them. Care is needed to make sure that the resulting lead isn’t so long that it can flap about and contact things it shouldn’t.
Impressively solid looking motor though. I used some of compressed air action to remove the dust, and it looks like new. The bearings at either end of the rotor look like they could also be replaced with generic ones if ever needed too as they just rest in a housing in the motor ends.
