Hi,
My Beko Excellence 8kg washing machine suddenly stopped working and no error code was displayed.
It would fill in water as normal but the drum would not roll. Upon reset, it would simply drain the water and unlock the door.
Took out the brushes after checking online, one seems more worn than other.
Can someone please check the image and advise if its worth buying new brushes here?
Thanks.

Obviously there's no concrete guarantee here, but the worn brush has probably parted company from the commutator hence the failure.
If it was mine, I'd give new brushes a try.

Or, if you have a meter, check the continuity between the brush terminal and the end of the brush..
 
Check to see if the brush is jammed in the box.
Gently pull it forward and backward a number of times.
If it freely moves after a while and is approximately the same length as the longer one, re-fit them and try your machine.
If it doesn't move, then a new set are called for.
