Washing machine replacement brushes

[p.mc]

Hi all

I have a Bosch Classix 1200 Express washing machine
E-Nr. WF02466GB/05
FD 8407 609529

Anyhow I replaced them about 6 months ago but they've worn down again, I
think I paid about £16 for them.
The man in the shop assured me they were good ones although they never had
the same code # as the original
brushes (can't remember now) but I was expecting longer use.

I have seen some advertised at around £38 but I don't honestly know if these
are no different from the last lot!

01...What is the key to good value for money replacements?
02...Should I be looking at carbon percentage or something like that?
03...Or is there any plumbers/repair men here who could post a link to a
reputable supplier?


Regards

Example...The 2 sets of brushes below are suitable for this model
(WFO2466GB/05) £8 replacement and £38 original. If the original ones last 5
times longer then I have no problem getting these,
but in any ones experience does this equate? And what is your advice thank
you.

Sounds a bit of a low life span. Unless you are using the machine 24 hours a
day with big loads one would expect years of use, unless there is actually
something else going on that is affecting them.

The first thing to check is the motor commutator, (the segmented part that
the brushes press against). If that is rough, or a segment has come loose
and is sticking above the others, this could cause excessive brush wear.
