This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Luxor LW05S carbon brushes need identifying by motor type
- The problem
- The query was how to source replacement carbon brushes for a Luxor washing machine, model LW05S. No running fault, error code or confirmed brush wear was described.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply indicates the exact brush set may vary because the machine could be rebadged, so the correct brushes should be identified from the motor make and full motor number rather than the washer model alone. Actual brush failure was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to isolate the appliance from the mains, inspect the motor label, and use the motor make/number plus the old brush shape, size, terminal type and handedness to match the correct replacement set. The post also advised checking the existing brush length and the commutator condition. No exact part number or supplier outcome was confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Motor make and full motor number from the motor label
- Existing brush carbon block size
- Brush holder shape
- Terminal type
- Whether the brushes are left/right handed
- Brush length
- Commutator for heavy burning or damage
Safety: Isolate the washing machine from the mains before removing panels or inspecting internal parts. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi Andrew,
If your Luxor LW05S uses a brushed motor, the safest way to get the right carbon brushes is to identify the motor fitted, rather than rely only on the washing machine model. These machines were often rebadged, so parts can vary.
1. Isolate the washing machine from the mains before removing any panels or inspecting internal parts.
2. Remove the back panel and look at the motor label. You want the motor make and full number, often something like SELNI, CESET, or ASKOLL. The brush set is usually matched to the motor, not the badge on the front of the machine.
3. Compare the existing brushes: - carbon block size - shape of the holder - terminal type - whether they are left/right handed
4. Try UK appliance spares suppliers by searching using the motor number as well as “Luxor LW05S carbon brushes”. Good places to check include: - eSpares - BuySpares - Ransom Spares - Appliance Care - eBay, but only if the brush shape and dimensions match exactly
5. If you remove the old brushes, check their length. If they are down to around 10–15 mm or less, replacement is often justified. Also inspect the commutator on the motor for heavy burning or damage.
6. If you post the motor number or a clear photo of the motor label and old brushes, it should be possible to narrow down the exact set.
If you are not confident working on the machine, especially around mains components, it’s best to use a qualified appliance engineer.
