Taking the motor off to check the brushes should be straightforward

take a closer look.

Thanks,

You shouldn't have to remove the motor to check the brushes. If you
slide the top off the washer you should be get to the brushes with no
problem.

That's been my experience with 2 other Hotpoint washers, anyway.
