No idea. I’ve only changed brushes in steering pumps for ships. I’ve encountered pumps older than myself, and they still work fine as long as the brushes are changed from time to time.
I tell my boss I can save us thousands by rebuilding our procons rather than buying new ones. Nah we keep buying new ones. I’m thinking I’ll rebuild em myself and sell em on eBay.
If the brushes are expected to last longer than another part whose failure makes the unit a total loss then what do they care?
But yeah that’s going to be noisy both in terms of audible noise and electrical. We have much better options these days and they aren’t even that expensive.
What brand of washing machine uses a universal motor? That seems like a terrible idea for a high demand appliance with such a large footprint.
Edit: Apparently some older front load units use a brushed DC motor. Another commenter mentioned this as well. TIL.
