Posted by admin in Washing Spares and Repairs News on May 15th, 2010
Carbon Brushes for Zanussi Electrolux, Aeg and Tricity Bendix Washng Machines and Washer Dryers
Trying to identify Zanussi Washing Machine Motor Brushes is quite difficult because the manufacturer have been using three different motors during the production and design of their range of washing machines and washer dryers .
Electrolux, who are the owners the brand for Aeg, Zanussi, Electrolux, Tricity Bendix, John Lewis, amongst others, and used three different types of motor. These are SOLE, FHP and CESET for washing machines and washer dryers
Each type of motor may have been fitted to the same machines during production and are perfectly interchangeable with each other. The only thing we need to know is, that we identify and fit the correct carbon brush set to the appropriate motor. Hopefully the diagram we show will help in identifying your correct brush
We show a selection of these carbon brushes for you to purchase or if in doubt please telphone us on 0844 3577644 where we will be glad to offer assistance
Aways clean the armature when fitting new brushes
Washing Machine Spares will still be needed ?
Posted by admin in Washing Spares and Repairs News on July 18th, 2009
A washing machine that cleans clothes by pounding them with plastic chips could save billions of litres of water a year, its inventors claim.The machine uses thousands of reusable plastic chips to remove and absorb dirt. Tests have shown the machine can shift virtually all types of everyday stains, according to a team at Leeds University.
Professor Stephen Burkinshaw, who invented the machine which uses one cup of water each cycle said: “The performance of the Xeros process in cleaning clothes has been quite astonishing. and the Xeros uses less than 2 per cent of the water and energy of a conventional model and leaves clothes almost dry, doing away with the need for a tumble drier.
“We have shown that it can remove all sorts of everyday stains including coffee and lipstick while using a tiny fraction of the water used by conventional machines.” and by using about 20kg of the chips which are added, along with a cup of water and detergent. The chips can be used up to 100 times, the equivalent of six months’ washing.
Xeros Ltd, the company developing and marketing the machine, believes it could be on the UK market as early as 2009 and expects it to be used in the washing and dry-cleaning industries

AEG washing machine drum dropped and door seal distorted.
Engineers repair comments.
On inspection of the customers AEG washing machine i found that the drum had dropped because the left hand drum spring had become detatched from it’s location on the cabinet due to a very uneven load on the spin cycle. At this stage i didn’t know if we needed any AEG washing machine spare parts. I lifted the drum and the spring up and relocated the spring into the cabinet slot, i repositioned the AEG washing machine door seal , the seal came back into normal shape, with the drum and door seal now sitting correctly i tested the suspension legs and hoses, i then put the machine on a wash cycle to test that there was no other faults, all tested ok so i then put 4 bath towels into the machine on a cotton cycle again the AEG washing machine filled and then started washing, i then turned the AEG washing machine onto a spin cycle, the machine spun fine.

Bosch washing machine drum not turning
Engineers repair comments.
On inspection of the Bosch WFL2260 washing machine i found that the drum wasn’t turning. I could hear the relay on the control module pcb clicking on & off which meant that the electronic control module was ok and sending the electrical power down to the motor so my next port of call was checking the Bosch washing machine brushes to do this you remove the back panel and the motor from the drum fixings held on by two 10mm screws then release the wire terminal block from the motor, remove the motor from underneath the bosch washing machine then turn the motor on end to gain access to the Bosch carbon brushes, unclip the wire to the carbon brush and release the brush sprung loaded clip from brush housing, pull the carbon brush out repeat this on the other sides of the motor. You must then clean the motor armiture with a very fine piece of wet & dry sand paper untill it is a shining, this to remove the old carbon from the motor armiture. Fit the new brushes into the carbon brush housing and then fit the rest of the Bosch washing machine back together.

Hotpoint washing Machine Lights Flashing
Engineers repair comments.
On inspection of the customers aqxxl129 Hotpoint washing machine i found that when the door was shut and the machine switched on by the on-off button on the washing machine the lights on the control panel were light correctly and on, but when i opened the washing machine door the lights flickered and went off, i tried this several times and the same fault occured. I removed the hotpoint washing machine top and the control board cover from the door, I had an idea that the wiring cabled were damaged as they are run through the door hinge but i wasn’t sure if Hotpoint supplied this as a spare part. On closer inspection of the wiring cables i found that one of the wires was loose as it entered in the terminal plug, i reconnected the wire and tested the Hotpoint washing machine it worked fine again, no Hotpoint washing machine spare parts needed this time.
