This brush holder cap threads into the motor housing to cover and secure the carbon brush in its holder. Replacing a cracked, missing, or stripped cap helps restore reliable brush retention and consistent motor operation.

• Secures the carbon brush within the motor's brush holder
• Maintains consistent brush-to-commutator contact for proper running
• Provides service access for brush inspection/replacement
• Typical symptoms: missing or damaged cap, intermittent or no start, excessive sparking/arcing, burning odor from the motor area

• Unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove the old cap carefully—brushes are spring-loaded
• Note brush orientation and condition; reinstall in the same orientation or replace worn brushes
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; snug the cap—do not overtighten

This brush holder housing secures and insulates the carbon brush inside the motor, helping it maintain steady contact with the commutator for consistent power and speed. Replacing a cracked or heat-damaged holder can reduce arcing and intermittent operation. What it does:

• Holds the carbon brush in proper alignment and provides electrical insulation
• Maintains spring pressure so the brush rides the commutator smoothly
• A worn or damaged holder may cause intermittent start/stop, excessive sparking, or erratic speed
• Visual clues include cracks, heat distortion, or a brush that sticks/binds in the holder

• 1 brush holder housing

• Disconnect power and allow the motor to cool before servicing
• Access the brush assemblies and install the housing in the same orientation as the original
• Ensure the brush moves freely in the holder and makes firm contact; inspect brushes for wear and replace if needed
• Many motors use two brush holders—inspect the opposite side and replace as needed for even performance
