Just to let you know that I got the brushes today, 29 Euros, and the washing machine is back up and running. Thanks for all your help.This is the best help group for anything I have found on the Web.

Hi,
I got the motor out and the brushes are very easy to take off. Unfortunately now I cannot find my digital camera. So I will try to find a local dealer. How much should I pay.

Hi Dave,
Thanks again for getting back to me. The label on the motor has:C.E. SET.
Castell’ Allero (AT) – ITALY
Motore Universale
MCA 38/64 – 148 / ZN1
13400 n’ – 2A – 410W
220 / 240V – 50Hz cl. B/F
Protteto Termanente
Cond. 12405480/0When the motor was “dying” it was sometimes catching and other times not, when it was trying to turn the clothers over. When it would catch for a spin cycle it would keep going, but it would still be noisy, as if it was still arcing. I still have the motor in the machine however from the access I have at the rear it does not feel like it comes apart. Is it easy to fit the bushes.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the quick response on the belt and getting the part dispatched. Took the covers off the machine this morning only to find the belt intact. The drum was not turning and it felt easy to turn. So with 1+1=3, I got it wrong. I checked all the wiring/connections and got it to start spinning again however the motor was arcing badly, eventually it stopped again and will not start, after one last big arc and tripping out the ELCB. Do you know how much a motor is. Also if it is most likely the brushes are done, are these easy to swap out instead. I am moving back to Portland in a month so I just need it to last that long. If it is the motor then it is probrably not worth fixing for me.
Thxs Nicole
