My machine has not been working efficiently for some time. It has recently had some new brushes. However it does not want to seen to change direction in wash cycle. When observed working the motor seems to have very little power, it can be stopped easily with two fingers.
The wash is coming out full of powder and not very clean. The belt has come of recently
