Function4: Carbon brushes are devices that transfer energy or signals between the fixed and rotating parts of an electric motor. In a washing machine, they are used to conduct electricity from the power supply to the motor's rotating part, enabling the motor to operate normally. They are in constant contact with the commutator of the motor, and as the motor rotates, the carbon brushes ensure the smooth transmission of current.
Replacement Significance: Washing - machine carbon brushes are prone to wear and tear during long - term use. When the carbon brushes are severely worn, it may lead to problems such as poor contact of the motor, increased sparking, reduced motor power, or even motor failure. Replacing the carbon brushes with compatible ones can ensure the normal operation of the washing machine motor and extend the service life of the motor.
Purchase Considerations: When purchasing this kind of carbon brush, in addition to confirming that the model is compatible with 8996454300782, 481236248003 and 00173028, you also need to pay attention to the size, material and other parameters of the carbon brush. Common carbon - brush materials include graphite, resin - impregnated graphite, metal (including copper, silver) graphite, etc1. Different materials are suitable for different motor working conditions. At the same time, the correct size can ensure that the carbon brush is properly installed in the motor and maintains good contact with the commutator.
