Yes, the brushes need to bed in.

Wash should be so quiet that you have to look to know it is running.
Spin,
(ours is 1400rpm bosch ) makes a little noise, but hey, its so little
compared to anything else.

I've never heard anything so bloody daft as "the brushes need to bed
in"!!!
Oh Please!!

In fact, are there any brushes??!! Most new appliances use induction
motors.

Even so, the bedding in of brushes in a fallacy.

It's probably a bearing and if anything like our NEW Hotpoint will need a
replacement within weeks.

New brushes don't make noise - poor quality or badly lubricated bearings
do!
Manufacturers these days use the cheapest possible bearings and don't use
much (if any) grease.



Brushes bedding in my arse!



Well, my Bosch has brushes, that is the make of the OP machine. When I
replaced one brush after seven years (why one wore first I don't know)
there was a bit of a whine for the first few uses. An old indesit I had
made a terrible whine when new brushes were fitted, a washing machine repair
shop used a "comm" stick to polish up the commutator and the noise was much
reduced.

So bedding in of brushes does happen. since the op machine is new he has
little to worry about.
