As it happens, it is the brushes, and it's not too difficult a job to
replace them. Unfortunately, the place that I used to get such items from
locally, has closed its doors, so I have finished up ordering direct from
the Hotpoint online spares centre.


How long do those brushes last? The old induction motorsran for
decades. I pulled the working motor out of my mom's worn out dryer
years ago. It was bought new in '57. I mad a stand for it, and added an
arbor to use it for a grinder. It was still running 50 years after it
was built.

The machine is used pretty much every day at least once for washing the
aprons and dish towels from our food businesses, and twice or more if there
is household clothes washing to do as well. I would guess that we have owned
this model for probably 10 years, and this is the first set of brushes that
I can recall it having, so you work it out ! We had a Hotpoint before this
one, and we probably had that one 15 or more years, through all of the kids'
growing up and school years, so heavily used, and I remember getting brushes
for that from the village store, twice.
