for 2 x BOSCH WASHING MACHINE Classixx 6 Exxcel 7 1400 MOTOR CARBON BRUSHES

My Bosch washing machine, which I have had for 20+ years, suddenly started to miss out the spin programme during a wash, so the clothes were still wet when the washing cycle had finished. My husband checked the motor brushes and they had completely worn down over the years, so we decided to buy these replacements and see if we could get it going again. They were easy enough to fit and my washing machine is now working again, so for £6.99 for these brushes, it's a lot cheaper than having to buy a new washing machine! Not sure how long they will last, but they're working fine at the moment.

These are great and fitted Bosch excel 7 perfectly. I'd tried resetting the code (you tube video) without fitting new brushes at first but nada so ordered these. Removing and fitting the old brushes is easy enough with a bit of reasoning. you push the fat end of the tab in until the small slots align and then lift up. it's a bit metal puzzle type fiddly but be patient and don't force them. Super important is to note which way the taper on the old brushes comes out so be mindful to watch closely and remove them slowly to watch for this or the spring will pull out and twist and you won't be sure. Not the end of the world if you get it wrong but it will be noisy until the new brushes be in and not fantastic for the armature which might arc a bit if they go in the wrong way. pop it on a spin to bed the new ones in. If you change spark plugs and lightbulbs and liked Meccano when you were little you've got this. Obviously unplug and watch a few videos first.

"With the benefit of Utube video these were replaced and the washing machine has a new lease of life. Please note on initial use after fitting the washer motor made unhealthy noises but these were ignored as "bedding in pains" Quite correctly. The machine is now in top fettle and good vfor another 14 years, with luck.

Perfect part. Easy to fit, works well. Restored my dead Bosch washing machine to full functionality in less than 30 minutes.

Our Bosch Exxcel 8 Varioperfect washing machine stopped working and displayed an E43 Error code. A quick search online revealed it could be that the brushes needed to be replaced. So ordered these brushes which arrived the next day. Tipped the machine on its side to access the motor and simply unclipped the old brushes and replaced with the new ones. Our machine is now back up and running. Plenty of videos online that show what to do. A cheap fix!Many thanks!

The spring is too wide so the metal connector kept sliding through.I used a spring off the old one so fixed it but was very frustrating because I came up with a solution.

Thanks for a fuss free purchase.

These were cheap and for me easy to fit. Simply remove the motor, lip out the old brushes, pop these in. Fix the motor back in and away you go. The bosch machines can throw up a fault code when the drum doesn't rotate at the speed expected, good chance its the brushes gone. They take a few wash cycles to bed in, they will be a little noisy for the first few washes, don't worry about this.
