Using this Simpson Eziset 950 brake motor assembly is easy. First, make sure your washing machine is unplugged from the power source to avoid any electrical hazards. Then, carefully remove the old brake motor assembly. You'll notice the 4 - pin inline plug with female connector terminals; connect it as per the old part's connection. Use the adaptor lead to convert it to the square connector with 4 flat pins if needed. When it comes to maintenance, keep the assembly clean. You can use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris every few months. As for things to watch out for, always double - check the part's compatibility with your washing machine before buying. If you're unsure, give us a call with your machine's full model number. Also, if you encounter any issues during installation or use, don't try to fix it on your own. Instead, contact our customer service team for professional help.
