How To Remove a Motor from a Bosch WFL-2860 Washing Machine

(These instructions are ideal if you’re going to replace the carbon brushes on the motor)

1)Using a torx screwdriver, remove the torx screws that are holding the silver plate, that is placed behind the washing machine.

2)Once you have removed all the torx screws, remove the silver plate from the Bosch washing machine and place it to one side.

3)You will see the motor underneath the drum of the washing machine. So you would need to remove the belt that is attaches to the motor and washing machine drum.

4)Once you have removed the belt, place it to one side. Next you will have to remove the two bolts that hold the motor onto the drum.

5)Once you have removed the two bolts from the washing machine drum that hold the motor in place, using a rubber mallet hammer, tap the motor and the motor will eventually remove itself from the washing machine drum, as tapping the motor will unclip the motor from the drum.
