Rainbow Model D3A, D2A, D2, and D Motor Brush

Your motor will not start without the carbon brush. Replace a damaged or worn out carbon brush with this exact factory OEM part.

This item is sold each. If you need a pair to replace both sides on your motor, then please add a quantity of (2) to your cart.

Original OEM factory carbon brush for the model D3A, D2A, D2, and D Rainbow. This brush is installed through the back of the holder and held in place by a plastic cap that screws into the holder.

* SELECT OPTION: This item needs to be "seated" for proper life expectancy. We use a variable transformer (variac) to seat the brushes. If you are unable, we offer this as an optional service.

If you do not seat the motor brushes, you can expect about a one year life before they wear out.

  "Used brushes are the only ones available and these were in good shape. Our 40ish year old vacuum is back to work."

  "The brushes I ordered for my parents' Rainbow Model D were very expensive but worked great. Their vacuum worked like new after I replaced them. I did expect a little more wearing from seating for the extra $10 each though."

  Thank you for the feedback. The seating process will not produce a visual wear that is easily noticeable. We can promise that the task was complete as you would be calling in a year upset that your Rainbow stopped running. :)

  "Thank you for your fast shipping of the motor brushes. I was able to install the brushes and the vacuum cleaner is working like new again. This vacuum was my parents and they gave it to me over thirty years ago. I think the vacuum is over 40 years old. it has been very reliable. Thanks again."
