Big design flaw on this dishwasher: food gunk accumulates in the inner bend of rack rails. Cleaning cycle does nothing. They need to be cleaned periodically.

Hi all! I've had this WAE20260II/28 Bosch Series 2 washer for approximately 10 years and have recently noticed a louder-than-usual noise during the spin cycle best described as a "jet engine spin up". Rotating the drum manually also produces more noise than it used to.

I removed the belt and the drum spins smoothly and silently, so I've concluded the issue lies with the motor.

Should I replace the brushes only, or could it be a worn commutator? Would you also recommend considering used spare parts? (A brand new motor runs about €170-190 here in Italy)

Thanks everyone!
