A washer pump motor includes a case having a pair of arcuate walls and a pair of flat walls. A pair of brushes are opposed to a commutator. A lid, which forms part of the case, includes a pair of brush supports for respectively supporting the brushes. Each brush support includes a base plate, which is fixed to the lid, and a plate spring, which detachably engages with the base plate. The plate spring has a retained portion retained by the corresponding base plate and a resilient arm portion to which the corresponding brush is fixed. The resilient arm portion extends from the retained portion and is substantially parallel to the flat walls. This maximizes the length of the resilient arm portion and maintains the performance of the motor. Also, this arrangement permits miniaturization of the motor and facilitates assembly.
