Replacing a motor on a washing machine might sound scary, but it's a surprisingly easy to replace. We are working on a Bosch but this video is good for Bosch, Neff, Siemens or Balay washing machines.
To order your washing machine motor you will need your full model number (This is normally around the washing machine door frame on a sticker) and also your motor Type, written on the motor Label.

I noticed in one of your videos you didn’t show how to remove the bottom plate cover from the Bosch washing machine . In the video shown the bottom plate cover was already off. I need to replace the motor. I noticed it didn’t have screws . It had some sort of small metal rods that have rounded ends. How should I remove them. . I have an older model Bosch washing machine. I also noticed black soot on the bottom plate cover when I took the back plate cover off. Is this a sign of a blown motor ?. Thanks for your great videos.
Same issue, how to remove the bottom plate?
Hello.
I’m trying to replace the bearings on my siemens washer dryer (WD12D523GB/02).
I followed your video about replacing this item and I have got as far as removing the the pulley wheel from the back of the drum. I am stuck now because I am confronted with a steel drum which does not split and I cannot see how to remove the bearings as I can only get to the rear of the machine. Do I need a bearing puller? Please help.
Thank you
Dan
The Bosch 8 maxx does not have bolts,it has screws that go into plastic mouldings that are part of the outer drum. The screws act like real plugs to hold the motor in place.How do I get the motor off these mounting lugs?
