The Carbon brush, drum motor is an OEM part for Bosch washing machines. These carbon brushes are responsible for transferring electrical current from the commutator on the motor to power the rotary movement inside the washing machine drum. Two come per package.
Symptoms of a bad carbon brush, or drum motor can include:
- noisy or squealing sounds coming from the motor during the operation
- the drum fails to spin or spin inconsistently
- the washer is unable to enter spin cycles
- slow or reduced agitation
Causes of a bad part include normal wear and tear over extended use. As the brushes continuously contact the commutator, friction can cause them to wear down over time.
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
