Carbon Brushes For Indesit Widxl146 Washing Machine
Hello all,
A new member from Essex here. Sorry to ask for help straight away.
I've an Indesit Washing Machine model WIDXL146 whose drum refused to turn recently.
Took out the motor and found the brushes were badly worn. The armature seems OK.
Regarding the brushes, can anyone please help to identify the correct part number?
My motor has C.E.SET label on it. Based on this information, I found a part C00194594 online. I found some good prices too but can't find my model mentioned anywhere for this part. There are 100s of models mentioned including WIDL146UK, Is this same as my model: WIDXL146?
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit WIDXL146 drum not turning; motor brushes identified
- The problem
- An Indesit WIDXL146 washing machine drum stopped turning. The owner removed the motor and found the carbon brushes were badly worn, while stating the armature appeared OK. They needed confirmation of the correct replacement brush part for a C.E.SET motor and asked whether C00194594 was suitable.
- Likely cause
- Worn motor carbon brushes are the strongly supported cause of the non-turning drum. A forum reply indicated the brush shown for the model matched the existing brush, supporting compatibility.
- What fixed it
- The discussion supports replacing the motor carbon brushes as a pair. The owner had already bought a pair of C00194594 brushes after being told they would fit. No final confirmation was posted that fitting them repaired the machine.
- Checks to try
- Motor removed for inspection
- Carbon brushes found badly worn
- Armature visually checked and said to seem OK
- Brush appearance compared with a listing for WIDXL146
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Carbon brushes part C00194594
- Pair of Indesit carbon brushes
Safety: Isolate the appliance from the electricity supply before removing or refitting the motor or brushes. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

That's a weird listing, I've never heard of anything so daft as selling a single carbon brush it might be a mistake. They list the same brush as a pair for £1 less here -
Pair of Indesit carbon brushes £14.99- 4washerhelp

does this look like your existing brush?
Hi,
Yes it does, although they are quite pricey as I need two.
Unfortunately, I've already bought a pair of C00194594 from fleabay yesterday as the seller said they would fit.
Will report back once I get the delivery.
Thanks.
Don't think it's a mistake, a reviewer commented on how he received just one brush.
Yes I saw that Edd, I didn't mean that kind of mistake. It must be a mistake someone deciding to sell them singularly. I've never heard of anybody just replacing one brush. I've never heard of anybody selling just one brush either. It's most bizarre, especially as they also sell them in a pair for £1 less. Therefore it must be a mistake. It's crazy
