Aeg L14800 washer dryer - how to get to the motor to check carbon brushes
I would like to check the carbon brushes but having removed the top and looked at the machine the housing seems to be in two parts with no easy access to the motor. Can you advise how to remove the back part of the housing on this machine so that I can access the motor?

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
AEG L14800 access to motor/carbon brushes requires cabinet removal
- The problem
- The owner wanted to inspect the carbon brushes on an AEG L14800 washer dryer but could not find straightforward access to the motor after removing the top panel. The machine appeared to have a two-part housing with no removable rear access panel.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply indicates this model uses a design where the main cabinet has to be removed to reach internal components such as the motor. No actual motor or brush fault was confirmed in the discussion.
- What fixed it
- No repair was documented. The accepted advice was that access requires removal of the main cabinet and that this is an awkward design, making self-access likely more trouble than it is worth. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Top panel removed
- Rear access visually checked and found not to provide easy motor access
Safety: Do not dismantle further unless competent to do so; further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It looks like you have one of the washing machines that has to have the main cabinet taken off to get to anything. Very awkward design. Probably more trouble than it's worth to try and look yourself if you can't just take off a back panel for access.
