Hi Paul and Co., I’m a UK expat in the penal colony. I replaced 154740 brushes because one of previous replacement pair (by me 4 yrs ago) had ”disintegrated’ the other was half worn in clean condition. However, with the new pair of brushes fitted still not turning? Have you seen this happen before? I could not see any obvious damage to the motor, but wonder if the damaged brush I replaced has damaged the motor in some way? Any suggestions?

with another test today the motor does kick in and spin , but only in short bursts i.e.a fast spin briefly 5 times during the spin cycle , but does not wind up to a full spin in the usual way. It clicks on and off as per normal at the start/end. Lights all work as they should. Similar thing happens through the wash cycle – one fast burst of the drum spinning every 30 seconds through the cycle – i.e no slow continuous turning. Then drain kicks in as normal. Then spin as previously described until cycle ends Does that point to PCB or other?
