Re: Faulty motor, worth fixing?

try repairs@ 🙂
I just had a quick look at the machine late last night. I could see the motor at the bottom, but assumed that there was a motor on the back of the drum driving it, not the one at the bottom. But I could’nt tell without removing the machines case, now I know the motor at the bottom drives the drum via a belt I assume. I’ll have a better look when I have some more time and take the case off it, then inspect the motor brushes.
Thanks to everyone who’s offered advise.Re: Faulty motor, worth fixing?

The brushes will vary according to the make of motor also as Zanussi use 2 or 3 types generally.
Power off when investigating please :zap:
Dave.
That’s great thanks. Is there an easy way to access the brushes as the only way I can see to get to the motor at the back of the drum is to remove the whole case, there is no access plate?
By the way, out of intrest, there seems to be another motor (not the pump) at the bottom of the machine, under the drum, what is the purpose of this?
As you can tell I’m a bit of a novice at domestic appliances, but don’t worry the power is off as soon as it’s open.
Thanks for the help.
