I assume when you refer to the brushes you mean the motor carbon brushes. When it gets to the spin cycle i can hear the timer clicking. That may be normal cos I dont usually stick my ear to it! Or is this a warning sound? Thanks for your help. Robin

Sorry yes i do mean motor brushes If you have replaced these but they had de-laminated by this i mean dropped in bits this could have damaged the motor or the timer but if the timer makes a loud click then this may be ok ,the old analogue motir for this model is no longer available and fitting the replacement digital motor can be tricky the only info I can give in this respect is make sure that the connector block is put on the correct way round this is achieved by remembering where the tacho wires are in relation to the block connector as they shouldb eb lined ip with the same on the new motor these are the 2 yellow wires thatare on the end of the motosorry it sounds confusing but not all jobs on appliances are straight forward as always make sure you have isolated the appliance b4 working on it
