Have a reasonably new Washing Machine .... and bearing is on its way out

Groaning badly if you rotate by hand and very noisy on spin ......(no

Its a Hotpoint WMUD962 Ultima Local repair guys (who are trustworthy &
honest) advised on this model bearing is on inner drum and there is a
sealed outer nylon drum - bearing can't be replaced. (great design
idea)
Needs a new drum tub, £140 from Hotpoint.

Found new one at £90 ..... comes complete with heater.

Anybody changed one of theses drums .... any tips/hints.

This happened to us. It was 13 months old.

I was also quoted about £140. I found I could get a Hotpoint fixed price
repair for just under £100.

I got that, to save a lot of hassle. The guy was very quick - said he'd
done so many that he was an expert!
