Whirlpool ultimate care II. After reading many Q&A's the carbon brushes sound like the place to start looking. How do I know for sure it is brushes instead of motor. It was at the end of the cycle the water pumped out but it didn't do the final spin. It still pumps water in and when it trys to spin makes a loud noise. When looking in it seems the tub is not tight. The coupler piece appears in tack and I can manually turn it?
PS wirecutter you seem so wise please help

(the brushes are the first and CHEAPEST way to progress)This is a LOT CHEAPER than having to BUY a new/exchange MOTOR ,if a service man comes out to you, he will tell you your motor is duff charges you for a new one that he just happens to have on the van, fits the new one and (TAKES yours AWAY re brushes your motor) and keeps it for the next sucker that thinks there motor has gone the cycle is then REPEATED etc etc
