My washing machine is failing to spin. Washing left soaking and not properly washed.
My son says his science teacher says 'the brushes need replacing'. Is this right? If yes - where do I obtain replacement brushes? And how do I replace them?

Had the same problem in july 2010 on our WFL2260. Brushes were replaced but now spinning cycle not working again! (Feb 2011). Is this reasonable? Surely the repair should have lasted more than 8 months? Paid £89 for parts, labour & vat. Any thoughts?

i had problems with the spin cycle,after a few tries turning the control knob on & off the spin cyle the front panel blow up (a bang & a bit of soke ) i ve been tring to find out if i can buy a new front panel ? If so what would it cost? Would i better off buying a new cheaper washing machine? If anyone has any idea of the price of a new front panel, i would be greatfull

I had exactly the same problem yesterday. Trawled the internet and got this fix. Ordered the parts late yesterday, arrived today, fitted reasonably easily and hey presto one working Bosch WFL2260! And all for £20. Thanks JDV domestics for the answer.

its very likely that the motor brushes are worn out. you can get them from bosch directly but they may be more expensive. its a very fiddly but with a bit of patience its not that difficult. the brushes are located in the motor on both sides you release the tabs then pull the brushes out but make sure when you put the new ones back in you put them in the right way around or the motor will make a funny noise when it turns. take the motor out completely as it makes the job easier. any problems email me on jdvdomestics@live.co.uk and i will get back to you asap. also i could send you a set of motor carbon brushes for £25 + postage approx £3
