How do you remove bearings on Servis Washing machine
I've just taken the top and back off a Servis Caress 1100 M3011A
washing machine. The bearings seem to have gone - ther is evidence of rust and drips and general movement of the drum. I can see the bearings looking at me when I remove the back but cannot see anyway of removeing the bearings without removing the drum and I cannot see anyway of removing the drum. I have searched and cannot see any screws that will enable me to remove the front sides or back? I can remove the front control panel. The inner drum cannot come out of the outer drum, outer drum seems to be welded/folded to make one piece. In the past the outer drum has neatly split in 2 to enable access to the inner drum. Can I do this job by remoing just the bearings? If so how? All I have access to is the smooth surface on the bearing which the spindle of the drum rotates on. Nothing to grip onto to pull them out. Anyone able to help!!!!!!!! Chas |

How do you remove bearings on Servis Washing machine
Thanks Tim,
I've actually got a bit further than I said in the original post. I've already removed the cast iron sindle - simply used socket to remove nut and washer and the cast iron spindle came off without any force. I am now able to move the inner drum in and out by about 1 inch. I can see / touch the bearings but as I don't want to damage them thought I'd seek advice here. Interuption whilst I have a brainwave - I'm off to the garage.... back done it... It turns out there is a steel band around the whole rear of the drum held together by a nut and bolt. I've removed this, and the attached grommit, the electrical connectors at the bottom, and with only a little persuasion, removed the rear wall of the outer drum containing both sets of bearings and the heating element. I've just punched out the outer set with relative ease, and the outer washer (I believe). However I am meeting some resistance removing the larger inner bearing, which has disintegrated, leaving only the outer ring, welded firmly to the drum. Will try a little heat in the morning... Tim, Been quoted £30, where did you get them for a tenner? Chas |
