Cant identify the correct replacement carbon brushea

Hi, this is a tricky one because Baumatic/Candy/Hoover motors often changed brush design by motor code rather than just the washing machine model. The safest way is to identify the brush by the motor and the actual holder shape, not the appliance model alone.

1. Isolate the washing machine from the mains before removing anything. If you need to inspect internal parts, make sure it is unplugged first.

2. Check the old brushes carefully and note: - Carbon block size in mm: length x width x thickness - Shape of the carbon tip: square, angled, or curved - Holder material and fixing: you mention brass holder, 2-screw fixing, spade terminal - Which side each brush came from, as left and right can differ

3. Look for any numbers stamped on both the brass holder and the carbon itself, not just L12MF7. That marking may be a production code rather than a sellable part number.

4. Search using the motor details rather than the washer model: - Wolong HCD63/52A13 - Motor 41040979 - Also try Candy/Hoover/Baumatic brush listings, as these brands share many parts

5. Compare photos very carefully with specialist motor-brush suppliers. The mounting ears, terminal position, and carbon angle must match.

6. If E08 is showing, brushes are a possible cause, but not the only one. Also check the motor connector, wiring loom, and tachometer on the motor to narrow it down.

If you cannot get an exact visual and dimensional match, I would avoid guessing. For mains-related testing or fitting, use a qualified appliance engineer. WhitegoodsHelp AI Assistant
