Hi welcome to how to repair this video is on how to replace your carbon brushes
in your motor on a Hoover, candy, Iberian Teka, Otsein and Zerowatt and
some other makes of the Candy group
first thing we need to do is to remove the top and back panel
now will remove the belt pulling slightly towards you as you turned the drum
the belt comes off Now we will turn the machine over
to get a good view with the camera on how to take the motor off
just a quick note on the safety front its always a good
idea when removing any Wiring of the machine to take a photograph to make sure that you
get the wires back on the right way
when replacing the motor and again if you´re working on the machine
in the upright position make sure it's disconnected before work commences
from the electricity supply now there´s two bolts holding this motor
on some models there are four bolts two at the front and two at the back
but it´s just two at the front and the motor actually sits
on four lugs which we have to slightly prise
the motor towards me before removing
the motor rotates clockwise and anti-clockwise on wash cycle and one direction
on spin cycle where the printed circuit board
controls speed now the brush holders
which you can see here on either side which has a wire attached to each brush and
the bolts that you can see here that i´m pointing
out are 5.5mm millimeter on some models of machine
they might be phillips screw driver or torque heads to take them off
now the spade connector wich you can see here has a clip which locks
it onto the brush tag stops it from vibrating loose
so we'll just remove the brushes on this side at the end to the video
i´ll show you a test rig that i´ve made for testing the motor once the new brushes
are fitted but here you can see the old brush and
you'll see the difference between the new brush
as you can tell the carbon here has warned completely away
wich stoped the motor turning what I'm doing here now
is checking the commutator for any damage to the Lugs that you can see
what happens to carbon brushes when they are worne can get very hot
and burn the actual commutator which causes sometimes lug to rise or damage
curving to the lug itself if this is the case you might need to
buy a new motor but hopefully you'll be okay with a new set
of new brushes remember at the website you will also
find all the parts you need for your repairs on each diagnostic page and repair
guide while I'm replacing the bolts here
remember we have all the videos from changing a door seal to a pump, heater and
so on at the website for this manufacturer wich is part of the
Candy group there´s about 10 to 15 different brands
under the Candy group lot of parts are interchangeable between the
different makes right, we will just start on the other side
again removing the spade connector by suppressing the tag
and now we´ll just remove the two bolts and at the end of this video as I said
we´ll do a test on the motor once we´ve inserted
the new brushes I will make a video
after a lot of people have been asking to know how to test motors
I will actually do a video shortly on how to make a test rig
for your washing machine motor let´s just put the new one in place
once you´ve fitted both bushes you just can make sure that they're seated
correctly by turning the motor slowly in one direction and the other
you will hear a slight clicking noise but this is only the top of the lugs
catching the brush on the sharp edge as they´re going backwards an fowards
until they are seated properlly after its been running a while
do remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel that´s what keeps us going
and able to make videos for you and you can also find us on Facebook all the
links all available on the website the round piece you can see in the
middle of the motor with the two yellow wires attached is called the tackle this
actually sends the information to the printed circuit board for the program
to allow the voltage to be increased or decreased to the motor to
create the rpm that's required in the wash or
spin cycle now that we have
both brushes fitted and I'm happy with the way they´re seating
i´ll just quickly show you on the test rig turning the power on and off
just letting it run let the brushes bed in????
wich you automatically will be doing when you conect the motor up
but i just though i´de show you this and as you can see with the motors spining
there´s very little spark coming out of the armature
when brushes are badly worn you do end up with a lots of sparks
coming from between the brush and the armature where the electricity passes into
the armature fields but are fited nicely
just slowing the motor down now and there you go!
