W2300s motor brushes

[mikem]

My juke has started to make noises from the motor driving the carousel.

I took the motor off and tried to extract the bushes to have a look at them.

One came out ok and looks ok but the other one wont come out (it detached from the spring that it is attached to and is stuck in the hole).

I took the motor cover off and lots of carbon dust fell out.

I cant see how to remove the armature so I can remove what's left of the brush, does anyone know how to do this?

Also I am struggling to find anywhere to buy new brushes in the uk. The euro suppliers wont ship unless I spend 150 euros!

Hi Mike,
You have enough carbon there to manufacture your own set of brushes lol! The armature should pull out. First, have you tried tapping the motor on the bench to dislodge the damaged brush? Then you could gently tap the spindle at the end for a start to move the armature. There are lots of sellers on ebay doing brushes for small power tools - measure the good one.

Hi Mike,
Don't know about the UK-- here in the USA, ACE hardware stores, carry a line of small motor brushes-- Is there anything like that there ?

I got the old brush out by grinding it as it wouldn't budge otherwise.

I cleaned inside as best I could without removing the armature (just couldn't get it out). I made a new brush from an old washing machine brush. It's not quite the same size but the motor works again, although not as smooth as before. Hopefully it will bed in and improve.

I will look for a better fit in the meantime.
