Скачать или смотреть Miele W754S repair (zwiert niet / schleudert nicht / does not spin)

After 30 years our Miele washing machine stopped spinning. The video shows possible causes (picked up on the internet) and the solution in this particular case. Our li'l machine is ready for another 10 years of happy spinning or so?
Update 12 December 2015: 1 month after the repair, the spinning showed erratic signs. Eventually, the machine did not spin well at all. Cause: the new carbon brushes did not touch the rotor/commutator firmly. Remedy: clean out the brush holders prior to installing the new carbon brushes and make sure the spring lines up nicely into the holder. How do you know if the carbon brushes make good contact with the rotor? Hold the carbon brush metal holder (container) between two fingers, and rotate the rotor shaft. You should feel a light vibration in your finger tips. If no good contact, there is no vibration.
Update 22 December 2015: all good things come in threes !
Cleaning out the brush holder did not do the trick. As I had never done this type of installation before, I was not sure how much the tension/friction action when sliding in the brush, should or could be. Obviously something was cooking, because the machine intermittently started to hick up again during spinning. When sliding in the brush, this should go smooth right from the start point when entering the holder. Half way and when the brush reaches the end of the holder, there is a resistance point which the brush needs to traverse. That is normal. But if at the very beginning there is also some hightened friction, that is not normal. In my case I had to very slightly sandpaper the upper and lower part of the brush along the total length. The sides were fine. A case of a white product not meeting specifications 100%... a tenth of a millimeter can and will make the difference !
