Thanks so much for this. Perfectly explained and was exactly my problem too, which I have managed to repair due to your help. I’ve never tried something this mechanical before, and finally know why it feels like to be my dad. Cheers, Dave

Same me

Thank you so much for this video. With £7.50 parts and half an hour my washing machine is working again. I did it all by myself, as a 38 yo mum of three, and with the help of your video. I feel like I would make an amazing husband to someone! 😄

You fella are a straight up stone cold legend... changing the brushes, filming it, allowing us mere mortals to follow along. You have saved me nigh on £300. Top top man.

I can’t believe I just fixed my washing machine with nothing but your help. Thank you my good man!!

Absolutely fantastic work! After taking my brushes off, I'd already taken my potential expense down from 200 quid for a new motor to around 20 for 2 brushes, then realised 1 brush was still fine so reduced it to around 9. Then, after playing around with the faulty brush while I was looking for the right replacement, the carbon popped right back out again, it had just been jammed up by dust! Rebuilt & works like normal again. Saved me a minimum of 10 quid, but possibly up to a few hundred if I'd not been a bit technical (and if I'm honest, the only really hard bit of the whole process was moving the washing machine around while it was still full of water!).

Thank you so much for this video! I'm so proud that I googled, followed your video. Now I have fixed my washing machine and saved me loads of money! All it took in total was a couple of hours of my time and effort, and £13.99! So clear and straight forward explanation. Thank you again!

Thank You so much for this excellent step by step guide to changing my brushes. Purchasing a new machine was not at the top of our budget during these trying times.

Thank you so much. I was going to buy a new washer when I read that it could be the brushes. I therefore followed your instructions, paid £15.99 for new brushes and now my washer works perfectly!

Whilst the whole covid19 crisis is happening this video was spot on and saved my family having to wash clothes oldskool. Granted that would be the least of our worries during these uncertain times, but fantastic explanation video all the same. Cheers man 👍

Excellent video. Just in process of replacing the bushes on mine. I had trouble getting the motor off its mount. I ended up using a pri-bar with a metal washer between the plastic and the pri-bar to protect the plastic. As the motor moved a little I used two washers to close the gap to make it more effective. Also a good idea to clean the commutator before fitting the brushes. Regards Stephen

We had exactly the same issue as yourself; watched your video, ordered the replacement brushes and followed the repair procedure exactly as you explained; pleased to say the repair was a success, thank you once again for providing the information / advice excellent work 👍

Thank you so much for this. My machine was showing E08 and after googling the error codes I found your video. So straightforward & informative. Once we had bought the Carbon Brushes my husband & I followed the video. We now have a working, spinning machine. Again many thanks Lorraine

Thank you for your excellent and clear video. It has helped me locate and diagnose the worn brushes in my Hoover Dynamic DYN 8164 D. I did this during my stressed out lunch break, but your calm and clear instructions kept me cool headed! I would like to add one thing, if you check one of the brushes and find that there is still a good length of carbon rod, don’t assume that the other rod won’t be worn out. The ones in my machine were unequally worn and I almost replaced the one I examined without checking the other. A good selection of replacement brushes on the internet. Thanks for saving me the expense of a washing machine engineer.

You saved me another £229. Same issue after 1.5 years and followed your instructions again and its up and running!!! Thanks very much

This was extremely helpful. It took me a bit longer than the video, due to lack of experience, but I bought a cheap part from Ebay and followed this guide from start to finish. Washing machine now working perfectly. Definitely saved me some money so very much appreciated.

Top video. Very clear with nothing missed out. New set of brushes £25. Washing machine fixed. Many thanks.

Charlie Williamson Do you happen to have the link/website where you purchased the new brushes? Thank you!

Nathan I had the exactly the same problem with our machine. Its at least 6 years old having moved with it to this house. I have followed your video to the letter and had great success. Thanks for making the effort to post your video I have saved plenty cash to put 4 new tyres in her Mini Countryman 😭

This worked for me. Amazing how similar your machine was to mine. There was no way I could pull the motor out so I had to put the machine on its face and pull it out from below -- that was easy to do. Also yellow cable attached to the front of the motor did not come off easily and had to be pried off because it had a little catch on it -- no little wiggle would have removed that. These tiny hitches did not prevent me from getting the job done in less than an hour. And it was fun. And, of course, the pleasure that came when the machine started up again was considerable.

Thank you so much for this video - I’ve just changed the brushes on my washing machine using your video for reference!! I’ve never even taken the back off a machine before letalone become a repair engineer!!!😂 Everything working again for less than £10!! Result!!🥳

Thanks for this. Got an E08 error on a candy grand vita washing machine . Quick Google and still wasn't clear what the issue was and was expecting the worst. Went step by step with you and had it sorted within an hour, parts and all. Simple repair in the end. Cheers 👌

This guide was great; I fixed my washing machine in exactly the same way after watching this. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this video. I found myself at home due to the #coronavirus waking up to my washing machine with E08 on the front. Your video and a quick look on eBay have saved me time, money and headaches!! £16 for parts and no call out engineer fee. Awesome video thank you. 👍🏻

After watching this I fixed my washing machine and only spent £10. Thankyou so much 🙂

Thank you very much for the detailed video. I replaced the carbon brushes of my Candy evo washer dryer and it started to work. You saved me £229!!!

Great video saved us a lot of money, worked exactly as your explained . Wouldn’t have tried this without your vid cheers

Thanks! Watched your video, ordered brushes on Amazon for £7.47, arrived next day and fixed.

Thanks!! Job done and only costing a little over a tenner👍. Very well explained and clear video. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Nice job. I'm gonna try mine. I found my self eagerly anticipating the moving of thr drum and shouting YES! When it happened. Hehe

Thanks for this. Had the E08 error and it was bugging us massively. Very informative and easy to follow demonstration. 👍

Thanks. Great video. Turned out one of the brushes was just stuck back. Managed to free it up and now all working.

Hi! I found this video after my Hoover washing machine (3 years old) stopped spinning and was showing E08. I don't know anything about washing machines and was a bit nervous but I followed your video and managed it so simply! I've ordered new brushes and will update you if I manage to fix it, thank you!

Just done this on my candy washer, it's back up and running thank you for this video.

Thank you for this video- I'm a total novice but fixed our washing machine today by following what you did. 👍

Thank you so much for uploading this video, I have just fixed my Hoover washing machine after watching your easy video! 👍 Ordered the part off the internet and fixed in less than an hour for less than £10! Perfect!! 😁

Excellent video, one of the clearest I've seen. Thanks.

Thanks! - repair to hoover wdyn 656-80d worked perfectly and probably wouldn’t have attempted without this video. Hoover parts cost less than £20, a lot less than a new washing machine!

Just used this video to replace my brushes and it was so good to follow!! Many thanks.

Cheers pal, nice video well explained and demo'd. I've taken the brushes out of mine, now just need to source new ones.

You are a life saver i have just spent half hour striping washer down this looks like the problem cheers

This has been a great help mate. Thanks for the time in creating this video.

Thank you so so much I just fixed my washing machine with your help as it broke yesterday bought the part which cost me 8.99£ on Amazon thank you very much.

Thank you! I'll try this tomorrow as mine just stopped working. Cheers from Scotland :)

Thank you my friend, very helpful very much appreciated, keep up the good work. your a 5 star bloke. Pete

Great video, thank you for this. I have just done the repair following the steps shown and it works perfectly, thanks again

Thank you for the video, helped me solve the E08. However, the shorter brush, I cut off the lug, and elongated the holes slightly so I could push it further to contact. This confirms its the brushes and buys me some time to source some decent replacements.

Thanks for the video, just changed mine step by step as you said, the wife is now happy again 👍

Top notch - exactly and clearly explained, thanks so much for uploading.

Tnx for this DIY video, it helped me to fix my Candy washing machine. Bought new brushes for 22€, replace it and the machine is spinning. Thanks again😄

I followed your great instructions, my washer is now working again, thankyou 😊

Fantastic tutorial. Made changing my own brushes a breeze.

I followed your great instructions, my washer is now working again thanks very much.

Thank you!!! I had another model but the inside was identical as yours :) Thanks once again!!!

Brilliant!! Just fixed my washing machine thanks to your video 👍🏻

Top job. Love the tip about watching for the brushes to pop out. Washing machine fixed now :) :)

e08 on the washing machine last night. Found your guide this morning. Quick check - lo and behold, brushes are completely worn out. Replacement parts circa £10 (assuming no additional sensor issues). Many thanks.

Yep - this worked. I descaled the heating element whilst the whole thing was open and cleaned the temp sensor as well. Cheapest service ever. Thanks again.

Thank you, you just saved my life, thought i needed a new motor, so the washing machine man said, is he in for a shock sunday when he turnes up for his bouble time pay to, he wont be getting his quoted £440 thought he was trying to rip us off

Excellent video. I took out the motor and took off my brushes only to find they were about half the size but not fully worn out! Absolutely gutted. If it wasnt the brushes that caused E08 i didnt know what to do next! I gave the motor a blow to get all the carbon bits off before putting it all back together. Thought id give machine one more try and holy moses it works! There must have been something going on with the brushes and taking them off blowing the motor and putting them back must have cleared debris which was breaking the connection perhaps? Either way THANK YOU. it really does make you feel good when fixing something mechanical!

Great video. I watched this after speaking with a repair firm who were looking to charge me £125 to fix my washing machine. After watching the video I took apart the washing machine and it was exactly the problem described. I went to my local repair shop, picked up some new brushes for £20 and fitted that day. All-in-all took me about an hour to do. Thanks again!

Glad it helped !

Just wanted to say thank you. Informative video, but I did have to watch on 2x speed. Looks like one brush was just ok, the other is spent though, now lets wait for the new ones to arrive and hope this fixes it. Only difference between our models was the connectors to the brushes had a retaining clip function that needed triggering before they would come free. Almost snapped the blighters off until I noticed.

Brilliant, my model was near identical and brushes very badly worn, job done in less than an hour, working perfectly!

Awesome stuff mate.l. Washing machine fixed without breaking the bank 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video . Very informative and it fixed my washing machine . Thanks you

Thanks A LOT! Same thing with my machine, exactly after its 5th year!

Outstanding! Thank you very much for this video.

Thank you so much, I fixed my washing machine too. Very proud of it!

Thanks for doing this video. I'm going to try it now and hope it works and I get massive brownie points. Top man.

Hi mate just want to say u saved me bout a thousand bux buying a new one bloody legend Cheers from Australia

Thank you so much for this tutorial my husband was able to do it and it worked and has saved us alot of money so thank you!

Ta muchly, your video and £7.62 in parts fixed my washing machine. Much obliged.

Nice one pal, fingers crossed this works for me. Lovely straight forward video going to risk it. Thanks

Thanks very much man, very helpful video!! 😁👍

Super, took me a bit longer than you lol. Bit of a fight getting the motor out but new carbon brushes bought locally and replaced within an hour....

Just did this and it fixed it! Great video 👍

Great stuff, brilliant video, thanks

Bravo, Nathan! Thank you so much!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you so much for this video!

You just saved me about £300! Thanks

Good video. just to add for anyone viewing this, that commutator should be copper colour. If you are removing the carbon brushes then clean that carbon brush staining off with a scouring pad, otherwise you no longer have a consecutive connection with the carbon brushes! If you have large lengths left on the carbon bruises it will still work with a dirty commutator due to the pressing effect, however, in this video, those carbon brushes had no such force left due to their worn size. They would probably still have worked with a clean commutator. That said, they needed replacing anyway so great job, but it's good to know to clean the commutator to get you through until the new brushes arrive, Hope this helps.

Great job bro!! Thank you!!

Thanks ever so much for this video. £9 and fixed!

Thanks, very helpful 👍

Thanks so much. Great job

Thanks mate you where right on . Thank you very much.

Legend. Cheers mate. You just saved me a small fortune 😝

Great video thanks a lot 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video. Just opening up my machine now. Do you know what I should do if the wiring to the brushes are being stubborn? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! You saved me 100s of £

Thanks so much for my help 😘

merci beaucoup pour ta vidéo. un commentaire de France

Fantastic, thank you!

It was really helpful

Thank you so much help 👍

Thank you so much for this clear and well documented tutorial. I just need to wash my work shirts by hand before the new brushes come. Any chance you have a solution to this one lol.

thanks, great help

booom, well done !! i,ll be using this as a guide

No! I don't think so. On closer inspection my brushes were identical. My machine is less than a year old. I used a pair of pliers to gently pull the brushes slightly out of their housing. They are spring loaded. I found that they were sticking along their length. I used a knife and some very smooth emery paper to scrape and smooth the excess carbon away and then wipe them clean with some turpentine. I also took the opportunity to clean the commutator with my thumb pressed on the smooth emery paper as I turned the shaft until I could see the copper. Thank for the video as I can hear my clothes being spun at this very moment.

I have a similar problem. there is enough meat on both sides of brushes however the machine gives out error 8.

I have a similar Hoover washer dryer and I've just replaced to completely worn brushes after getting the e08 error code. Now however, my machine trips the moment it tries to spin. Any advice?

Cheers buddy worked a charm..\m/..

Thanks for the advice how to fix my washing machine for £8.

Anyone have the link/website for where to purchase the new motor brushes? Thanks!
