More Info needed!
Does this machine have a mechanical/hybrid cycle selector? It is likely that the brushes need replacing after 8 years but I find it strange that it should happen only on occasions and just on the final spin. You need to provide more information as to how and when it happens... do you see any unusual sparks?
I would change the brushes anyway as they've never been replaced before... there are not at all expensive and there's plenty of guidance on YouTube on how to do this. See link below. Good luck! PS: I love the Aquaviva, I had one for a week :-P CLICK HERE TO GO TO Haxisfan's LINK | ||

Well Done Anthony!
My only concern now is about the rubber O-ring you turned upside down... that means that the rubber clothes retainer is no longer at the top as it will now be at the bottom... this could cause some items not to evacuate properly and tear as a result.
Was replacing the carbon brushes an easy job? I might need your advice soon as I will probably have to do it as well on my Hoover as it's only 1 year or so younger than your Candy and it's used a lot too. My previous machines never had brushes hence my total inexperience :-P | ||
