Bosch WFX2867GB/06 Washing Machine Not Agitating Or Spinning

I will try and help with this problem about Bosch WFX2867GB/06 Washing Machine,

Hi Raj,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on built-in obsolescence. This topic is close to my heart as well. Over the past 40 years, my industry has changed significantly, and it feels like we've become a throwaway society.

There is a lot of waste because of built-in obsolescence. Manufacturers often focus more on selling new machines rather than making washing machines that last longer.

glad to hear that the motor replacement worked out well for your Bosch WFX2867GB/06 washing machine. Regarding the original motor that you suspect has a loose brush connector, there are a few steps you can take to test it before deciding whether to keep it or throw it away. I've also included exploded diagrams, washing machine spare parts list, and related videos that might help you.

The first thing I would do is watch this video on testing motors so you get an understanding of the construction https://www.how-to-repair.com/how-to-test-a-washing-machine-motor/ If you want to build a quick and simple test rig for your motor, I've written this article on a Bosch 6-pin motor. It's a straightforward test procedure for engineers. Make sure you are competent with electrics before attempting this. https://www.how-to-repair.com/diagnosing-faults-on-washing-machine-motors-and-testing-them/

Firstly, a loose brush connector can definitely cause problems with the motor's performance. Since you've noted that the motor brushes and bearings are in good condition, the issue is likely with the electrical connection.

To test the motor, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity between the brush connector and the commutator (If you dont't have one, you can buy a new multimeter via our affiliate link). Set your multimeter to the continuity setting, and place one probe on the brush connector and the other on the commutator segment that the brush contacts. You should get a consistent reading if the connection is good. If there's no continuity, the connection is faulty and might need repair.

Next thing you can do is placing the multimeter probes on the motor terminals and checking the resistance. Compare the readings to the specifications in the motor's service manual. A significantly higher or lower reading could indicate a problem with the windings.

If the Bosch WFX2867GB/06 washing machine motor passes these tests, it is likely still in good working condition despite the initial issues. You can keep it as a spare or use it in another appliance if needed.

There are exploded diagrams that might help you understand more about your machine's components. Any parts I have in stock are listed at the bottom of this page, mostly second-hand from other machines.
