Re: Electrical problem with washing machine or not?

Probably a good idea as the machine would be under warranty and the visit from the engineer probably wouldn’t cost anything….

Might even pay to have an electrician attend at the same time as the engineer ??

Re: Bosch Classixx 1400 Express washing machine won,t spin

Thanks

When I got back to her place and inspected the motor again it was pretty obvious as to which way the brushes sit. Thanks for your advice though.

Re: Bosch WFO2866gb not turning

Well, the resistance of the windings was somewhat confusing as there are multiple terminals. The most I got was 1.5 ohms.

Anyway, regardless of that, I replaces the brushes which did the trick.
The machine even runs quieter now because I cleaned the motor out too.

Thanks for the info.

is this the same for all terminals as there are, as you probably know, a few.
I am used to working on induction motors as I am a air-con/chiller engineer, but don’t come across these motors at all so not familiar with them?

One of the brushes has a silvery surface, the other not. You can see the wire in the end of the latter brush, so I’m guessing this is my problem

Re: Bosch Classixx 1400 Express washing machine won,t spin

This thread has helped me too, just one question from me please?

I already suspected the brushes, so removed the motor to gain easy access to the brushes. When I removed the brushes I stupidly forgot to note in which direction they sit. I’m guessing this is pretty critical, so is there a general rule, or is it motor specific?

My issues are with a bosch WFO2866GB FD8411601609

Sorry for poaching this thread, but it sounds like Silverbroom is my answer!

Thanks in advance!
