Machine drum refused to turn. Took the back off and gave the large wheel a manual push which kick started the motor.while it was working I noticed that the motor was sParking . Is this the bushes ?

no, its the carbon brushes :-)never,ever attempt to turn the drum by hand if the power is on,your very lucky you did not lose your fingers,remove the plug from mains before you remove the motor,bring full model number to dealer to ease getting the part.be sure to clean all carbon dust from brush ring,ok ?
