    HI,

    My Bosch W/Machine has been giving trouble the past week. At first it would not spin or turn on any wash cycle. After checking the filter/pump for any blockages it wouldn't spin or cycle.

    I turned it on last night and it started working but would'nt get to full speed on spin. It also was making crackling noises which came from motor (I have back cover off).

    Is it worth repairing or should I justnget a new one. Its 6 years old and on twice a day.

    95% sure it's the brushes - well worth the money to fix a 6 yr old Bosch -might cost you up to €90 but worth it - try not to operate the machine until you get brushes done as the motor can score

    Ok I've just removed motor and taken out what should be the bushes... There's nothing left on both springs only a fingernails worth of bushings.

    Well just thought I'd fill u in. I changed the brushes and started up the machine. 15 mins later the Machine started to cut out looks and tripping the Elcb. The motor doesn't sound right... Looks like I caught it too late...
