Do we need to start an OOF dishwasher & washing machine forum? 

Theres a plan AA......have a new subsection....you can be chief moderator of it

Just got the motor off and popped the brushes out.....looking at pics on the interwebby...new ones seem to be 2-3 cm long.....mine are about 0.5 cm long.....new ones on order 

There you go!

Get genuine if you can as pattern brushes are well, lets just say, there not great....

Hmmmm genuine bosch brushes from a couple of sites i've checked are £38  pattern brushes  £8

Tight bugger!

I seem to recall they use siemens motors.

Be aware that cheap brushes tend to wear quickly, create loads of carbon dust and can damage the com......

Brushes are one of the things I never skimp on as the design of them is a bit of a black art...

Helping me to fix my washing machine is more important than messing with your car 

[Taxi_Driver]

Got the new brushes yesterday......and fitted them today.

Only stabbed myself in the hand once with a pair of scissors.....dont ask  .....but it can be very fidley trying to persuade the spring that it should stay in place whilst trying to fit the terminal in place.

Gave it a test drive on a spin only programme with nothing inside it....it worked 

Thanks for all your help guys

I suspect thats a proper fix TD

Now go cook the OOF dog some sausages
