Over time, these small brushes wear out \u2014 usually after about five years, depending on how often the washer is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you do anything else: <strong>unplug the washer!<\/strong><br>On older Blomberg models (especially the stackable ones), the washer is often powered through a connection box located on the back right side of the dryer. These setups run on <strong>220 volts<\/strong>, so take safety seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to the motor, you\u2019ll need access to the back of the washer. Remove the back cover, take off the belt, and then remove the four screws holding the motor in place \u2014 two at the front and two farther inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Important:<\/strong> When pulling the motor out, be careful \u2014 there are sharp metal edges around the opening. <strong>Wear gloves<\/strong> and avoid pulling too hard; a gentle wiggle usually does the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the motor is out, you can check the brushes. You have two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>With a multimeter:<\/strong> place one probe on the brush connector and the other on the motor shaft (the part that spins freely).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visual check:<\/strong> remove the two screws holding each brush and take a look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that a worn brush might still show continuity on your meter, even though it\u2019s barely making contact \u2014 so visual inspection is often the best way to know for sure. For reference, a brand-new brush is usually just over an inch long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, so you\u2019ve replaced the brushes, collected a few scratches along the way, and now you\u2019re wrestling the motor back in. Time to put the belt on! It\u2019s pretty simple once you\u2019ve done it before, but it can be tricky the first time. Start by looping the belt over the <strong>motor pulley<\/strong> first, then stretch it over the <strong>large drum pulley<\/strong> while turning the drum slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s it \u2014 you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you found these tips helpful, please consider leaving us a Google review \u2014 it really helps us out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AppTechs wishes you happy fixing and a great day!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blomberg Washer Brush Replacement Tips As the title says, this post is for technicians \u2014 or anyone handy who\u2019s not afraid to get their hands a little dirty.
