Are IKEA washing machines brushless?
The washing machines currently available in IKEA’s range are equipped with inverter motors, also known as brushless motors.
UDDARP washing machines and washer/dryer combos from 2022 onwards are equipped with an inverter motor, which is also known as brushless motor.
The inverter motor is more energy-efficient, has a longer lifespan, and operates more quietly than motors that are not brushless.
If you have a washing machine with a brushed motor, the carbon brushes may need to be replaced over time, as they are wear-and-tear components and are not covered by warranty.
This is an expense that customers are responsible to cover in the case of a need for a replacement.
To get help replacing the carbon brushes in your motor, contact the manufacturer of your appliance to purchase new brushes and to receive assistance with the service.

We do not recommend placing a washing machine on top of an IKEA cabinet. Placing a washing machine or tumble dryer on top of an IKEA cabinet might seem like a space-saving solution, but safety is an important consideration. METOD cabinets are not built or tested to support the weight and movement of washing machines or dryers, and there is a risk of damage to the appliance, the cabinet, and the surrounding area. Instead, we recommend using stable platforms or furniture designed to stand around or above the machine.
