Our tumble dryer starting making odd noises today, traced the
problem to the motor which I've stripped down and found one of the
bearings is kaput.

Any suggestions where I could get the bearings from? Looks like
they're just an interference fit onto the motor shaft?

Cheers,

Steve.

They are pressed onto the shaft.

You could probably press a new one on, using a piece of metal tube and a
large G-clamp. A small puller would help to get the old one off. Otherwise,
hold the bearing in a vice and tap the shaft out with a copper mallet.
