Hey Guys.

I searched Google and found this thread.

Same issue for me. WFR2460 would just make a humming noise and the drum would not rotate. After looking at the service manual (here http://www.cagrimmett.com/justanswer/boschwasher.pdf) I ran a test on the motor and it failed. This and other threads almost unanimously said the brushes would be the issue.

I pulled the motor out with very basic tools: hex head screw driver and 11 MM socket. A quick pry got the motor out. I found this YouTube video (here How to replace and fit washing machine carbon brushes on Bosch. - YouTube) and pulled the old warn brushed out. Gave them a "tap" on the table to clear the dust, and reinserted into the motor. I put the motor back in the washer and it fired back up error free!

While I realize this likely bought me only a short amount of time, I ordered the new brushes from this website. It should only be about 30 more minutes to install new ones once they arrive after my experience.

I'm stoked I dont have to go out and spend $2k on a new washer and dryer as my Axxis were stack unit.

Thanks all!

I was wondering if you could tell me the angle direction to install the new brushes? One of mine was so worn there was literally nothing left. Any help would be much appreciated.
