If the motors fine and it’s still tripping out the electrics, then you need to test the heating element to find out the resistance and the continuity . If it is outside the range of 25 to 35 ohms ,you have a faulty element.

George if your motor & heater are both ok, then send your main module (back of machine) to us for test. Cost is £6+vat inc return post. www.emwelec.co.uk

Did you clean away all the carbon dust from motor winding & armature when you replaced the brushes, The carbon dust is very conductive and can short out to earth.
