Quick & Easy Fix: How To Change The Carbon Brushes

Описание: If your machine has stopped working and you've checked the pump and filter... it's most likely, that the carbon brushes have worn out.
Here's a quick and easy way/ fix to change the brushes :)
First off, water and electricity don't go too nicely, make sure that your washing machine is unplugged.... I can't stress this enough.
This is a Hotpoint Aquirious Model No. WM62P
You will need to unscrew these three phillip screws located on the side in order to lift the top and get to the motor (gently) Lift the cover up while pulling towards you... it can sometimes be a bit stuck but eventually, it will give way.
Lucky for us, the motor is located at the top :)
Their two cables connected to the brushes that you will have to gently pull off
I can't emphasis enough how much a swiss knife actually makes the job easier.
You have push a clip that are beside the brushes that lock them into place in order to pull/ nudge them out.
If you don't have a swiss knife, something similar will do but because of the angle and location... it can be a pain and tricky.
Stick the end of your tool in and gently turn anti- clockwise while with the other hand, use a another similar tool to sort of push it out
(you might hear the sound of it unclipping)
Do the same thing to the other side.
Another method you could try (if this doesn't work for you and have a bit of time) would be to pull out the motor itself but I really think this method is fastest and effective.

Incase you're wondering how to pull out the soap dispenser (to clean or unclog it)
Just pull it out as far as it can go then use a screw driver (or anything similar) to push down at the center of the dispenser, this shoud release it and vise versa to put it back in.
This should work for most washing machine models.
Hope you like the ending vine :) That's what happens when you throw a brick into a washing machine that is on... it goes nuts!!
