154740 Carbon Brushes Compatible Bosch Washing Machine Motor Laminated 00154740 Brush Replacement Part for Bosch Siemens Washer (Pack of 2)

These are washing machine motor parts. Motor carbon brushes wear down over a long period of time and it is reasonably straight forward to replace them. Takes care and patience. The slope on the brushes must sit the correct way around when fitting. All electricity switched off when working.The quality of parts are good, and Prime gives quick delivery which gets the machine back into use.

Bought these for my Bosch Maxx 6 washing machine. The rinse light was flashing and would not do anything else. So I looked on you tube and found out it was potentially a fault with the motor brushes. So 30 mins to install the new ones ( follow youtube directions) easy peasy . Put it all back together and reset the board ( youtube directions ) hey presto it's like new working great. So £5.99p for a new set of brushes saved me buying a new washer or having it fixed by some one else which would end up being the price of a new washer. So happy and don't hesitate change the brushes and fix it yourself.

Works great but wore out in less than 3 years.

Easy to fit after watching on-line videos and washing machine now working fine again. Cheap and easy fix for something that I suspect would cost an awful lot more if an engineer was called out.

Be sure to fit them in the correct direction! Functions great otherwise! Seemed a bit long but do fit well.

Had an error code F21 on my Bosch washing machine. Looked online and saw it was likely to be the brushes.So after taking out the motor it was all of 5 minutes to replace them. You-tube has videos showing you how to do this.The original brushes which are about 6 years old were 1/4 the length of the new ones.After fitment Washer is now fine again and no error codes.Can't imagine what the cost would have been to get an engineer out to fix it....

It seems that youtube videos cant be believed. I spent a long time trying to remove the motor to gain access to the brushes but the spindle pushes against the rear main body so I would need to remove that as well . It took quite a time trying to get the motor almost out and I used a hammer to push it back in place (carefully) So I decided to just try and change the brushes with the motor in place. Tip - first lay the machine on it side, there is a plastic water shield over the motor - remove it by starting at the back and lifting it off of the circular rear of the motor, then there are two other points where it clips in place so lift them off carefully. The wiring is held in place by plastic clips so I used long nose plyers to squeeze the clips together to push them out of the socket. The wiring came out easy enough and I disconnected the earth by removing the bracket securing screw. The brushes were well and truly worn out, so removed them and replaced them. Tip - use a really bright light to see what you are doing - it really helped me. When reconnecting the drain pipe I noticed it was really clogged up so cleaned that out by pushing some old mains cable back and forth into the machine drain pipe.. Following an online tip I poured hot water with fairy liquid down the main drain pipe and that seemed to do a good job. Its working fine now. You will need to reset the alarm notice (assuming you had one) so look that up on youtube

These motor brushes were purchased for our Neff W5440X0GB (circa 2010) washing machine which failed to spin and was displaying a F43 fault code. Googling revealed F43 means motor does not rotate so first port of call, after Googling, was to fit new motor brushes. Amazon to the rescue and fortunately my account provides for Same Day Delivery so a new pair ordered. With the mains POWER OFF and PLUG REMOVED I extracted the machine from its integrated setting. Some peps have replaced these brushes with the motor in situ and complained about the difficulty. To this I can categorically say NO. Remove the motor which entails removing the drive belt, one electrical multiway connector, one earth spade connector and 2 bolts. Easy as 3.142 etc. The rest is as per my pictures, old brushes out, blow out motor with air line or similar, dress the copper commutator with emery cloth and pop the new brushes in. The only fiddly bit here is getting the spring loaded behind the brush but plenty of patience and yer done. It's early days (1) to write a review and these have a lot to live up to (the originals lasted 12 years) but they did the job for the time being.
