Original motor went pop after I replaced brushes
I have WM63 when I picked it up there was no life from the motor! So I checked the brushes and they were completely worn out. I replaced those and we had a working machine. I got called off to another job. When I came back I had a complaint of a non spinning machine. So I Took the lid off lots of and I had lots of arcing from the commutator. Half way through a rinse cycle the motor went pop! I pulled the brushes out again, and they had stuck in the holder, which was the cause of the arcing. But I now have no life from the motor again. Any thoughts? What can I check? I have a good quality DVM. Could stuck brushes damage the motor/control board?

Check you are getting a reading across the two brushes of around 2 to 5 ohms through the armature. If this is OK and still no power suspect the module. You may find 'witness marks' in the module to confirm it has blown.
