Bad brakes were almost unheard of on the old BD machines and I can't think of a single case of a WP built DD washer ever having a brake failure of any kind.
Speed Queen TL washers are an entirely different matter, SQs do have brake pads that sometimes get badly worn after extensive use, luckily they are not very difficult to change the three little pads.
