This is a pair of carbon brushes that can be used on a number of Bosch, Neff and Siemens models which share the same type of motor. So if the motor in your appliance is no longer starting, it could be an issue with the carbon brushes. Carbon brushes are responsible for conducting electrical current between moving parts and stationary wiring. They are located near the rotating shaft of motors in household appliances. Over time, carbon brushes can wear down and be less effective - and if this has happened to the carbon brushes in your appliance, this pair of brushes could be the ideal replacements to have. Please Note: Some models in the appliance list may be fitted with either an FHP or a Siemens motor. This replacement is suitable for Siemens-manufactured motors only. Prior to ordering, please ensure that your washing machine has a Siemens motor. Please check model fit list to ensure this part is correct for your model.
