These are carbon brushes for Miele tumble dryers, with model numbers such as 5153702 and 4490382. Here is the relevant introduction:
- Function: Carbon brushes are important components in the motor of Miele tumble dryers. Their main function is to conduct electricity, transmitting electrical current between the stationary and rotating parts (such as the commutator) of the motor. This enables the motor to operate normally, providing the necessary power for the rotation of the dryer drum and other components, ensuring the normal operation of the tumble dryer.
- Replacement necessity: As consumable parts, carbon brushes will gradually wear out during the long - term operation of the tumble dryer due to friction with the commutator. When the carbon brushes are severely worn, it may lead to problems such as motor over - heating, abnormal noise, or even motor failure, which will affect the drying effect and service life of the tumble dryer. Therefore, when the carbon brushes are worn to a certain extent, they need to be replaced in time with carbon brushes of the correct model, such as those with model numbers 5153702 and 4490382.
- Compatibility: These carbon brushes are specifically designed for specific models of Miele tumble dryers. Miele usually uses different models of carbon brushes for different dryer models to ensure a perfect fit and normal operation of the motor. Users need to confirm their dryer models and then refer to the product manual or consult Miele after - sales service to determine whether these carbon brushes are suitable for their own equipment.
- Material: Usually, they are made of a mixture of carbon and metal additives (such as copper). This material can balance good electrical conductivity and wear - resistance, enabling the carbon brushes to maintain stable performance in the high - temperature and high - humidity environment inside the tumble dryer and withstand long - term use.
