Brush Holder 5-8 643552-4

This 5 x 8 carbon brush holder is a genuine OEM replacement part used in various outdoor power equipment. It is a small plastic box with a cavity, and it is located near the engine assembly. The brush holder is responsible for holding and making electrical contact with the carbon brushes. The carbon brushes provide electrical current to the moving parts of the equipment. A faulty carbon brush holder will lead to reduced power output or complete loss of power. You will notice difficulties starting the engine, and the equipment may shut off during use. To begin the repair, first disconnect the power source. Remove the motor housing cover to access the holder and release the old brushes. Attach the new holder in place and reinsert the carbon brushes. Reassemble your equipment and switch it back on to check for functionality. Each brush holder is sold individually.
