How to replace the engine brushes in the washing machine

In theory, the work of many engine parts in the AGR can last from 6 to 8 years. But in fact, it all depends on the conditions and duration of operation of the equipment.

To find out if the brushes have worn out, you should pay attention to several factors:

• The electric motor has suddenly lost its power. This may be due to the stretching of the drive belt.
• Uncharacteristic noise when washing. Although this phenomenon may be due to other reasons, for example: the ingress of a small object into the space between the tank and the drum. Knocking can also occur in the event of bearing wear.
