bushwhacker Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Wipers decided to not wipe just as a snow/rain shower came on. I think the motor stuck as I was getting an electrial burning smell and the motor casing was hot . So can anyone tell me if the brushes in my motor are done or not, looking on line it is hard to tell the length they should be new the drive wheel does not appear to be worn (to me). Will order up a new set but I would like to know if I can use the old set until the new parts arrive. Thanks for any info. Regards Mark.

simonb Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 They don't look too bad, yellow brush is always shorter. How are the bearings? Dry bearings more likely to cause the motor to run hot, than worn brushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwhacker Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Thanks, I cleaned it all up and rebuilt it but did notice the armature was still brushing the the stator. When I reconnected to the plug it would not spin and started to smoke so it is scrap for sure. Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
