My bosch washing machine has stopped spinning. Could this be that the carbon brushes need changing?

the filter is clear, the machine drains fine. the belt is fine. all other functions seem to work, though it did leak a lot of water when I last used it on monday. The drum just doesnt turn at all. It is at least 10.5 years old.

    Hiya- yes, if as you said the belt seems to be taught and you can't spin the drum freely when the machine is off/ stopped then most likely it will be the carbon brushes.

    It might be worth replacing the seal as well if the machine is leaking and if you've not replaced the seal for quite some time. 10.5 years is pretty good going for the machine though! :)
