Hi All

I am a total novice and newcomer so please don't laugh.

I have a Beko WM6123W washing mashine. It has packed up and i have been told i need to replace the brushes.

Obviously to do this i need to remove the motor. I have manged to remove the front 2 screws holding the motor in place but It appears that there are 2 more screws at the back which seem impossible to reach ?

Could anyone please tell me that i am right and it is impossible to move the flippin motor ?

Thanks in advance

James

Pair of brushes available here:

You could ring the help line number and ask them how to get at the back bolts on the motor, if no one comes up with a solution on here.

What tools are you using, probably just a case of needing a smaller ratchet, or different spanner....?
What is in the way?

I'm not familiar with the machine, but shouldn't be too challenging.

Hi

I am using a plain old alan key (this was successful in removing the front screws). The screws at the back are in an impossible position to reach.

Thanks

What's in the way? might need to move something to get to them? Or turn it on its side.....?

I managed to change the brushes ok in the end.

It hasn't made the slightest bit of difference. I am at a total loss as to what the problem is.

:sad:

I found that the high speed motors can just die, probably shorted turns, which don't show up with a simple continuity test.
