There has been more than 1 type of motor fitted to this model, so until you remove the motor, you will not know which brushes you need.

Hello,
Yes you can lay the machine on its back and depending on the type of motor you will need either a posidrive screwdriver or a small 5.5 socket.You will need a torch to locate the brushes which are at the rear of the motor be careful as not to lose the screws in the motor when removing or replacing sometimes a bit of bluetac on the tool you are using can help to hold the screws.Be careful with the new carbons on the brushes as they can break easily,take note as you remove the old ones and locate the new ones onto the pegs and replace the cables.I am not sure of the plate you are talking about.If you have problems then it may be easier for you to remove the motor but you will have to split the body of the machine

If there is a small inspection panel at the back where you can get to the motor remove that then remove the top lid of the machine. Loosen motor mounts and swing motor up and remove belt from motor. Now remove belt from pulley from the top of machine. Reverse the order starting from the top to replace belt.

Remove lower rear panel of washer, and check the belt is o/k, if it is, then more than likely a problem with the motor.
You would need to remove it to check the brushes in the motor.
Replace if less than 3 or 4mm long.
Hope this helps.

your machine may have a 'brushless' motor. but generally hotpoint motor brushes are fixed with 2 screws and are in ablack plastic cover and can be seen if you tip your machine back against a wall and look underneath. the motor being at the bottom of the drum, you could remove them wuth a long magnetic screwdriver.

The motor does not have provision for belt adjostment, it is self tensioning
To gain access to the brushes, you need to remove the motor from the washer.
Remove rear panel, remove belt, unplug motor lead, taking note which way the plug goes,undo screws securing motor, and lever motor back with a screw driver, remove motor and change brushes.

The brushes are located inside the motor. Remove rear panel of washer, remove drive belt, from motor and drum, unplug the motor, undo screws that secure motor, and remove motor.
At the opposite end to the motor pulley, you will find the brushes located, undo 2 screws that secure the brushes, remove and replace brushes.
I would also check the pump filter, which should be located behind a removable panel at bottom of washer, unscrew anti-clockwise, remove and clean.
