Tips on washing machine bearing replacement
As subject line ... Can anyone give general advice on how to replace
the drum bearing of a washing machine? The machine is an antique Hotpoint electronic. As far as I can see, the bearing is mounted in a removable back plate to the static drum. The rotating drum has a spindle through the bearing to a large pulley driven by a belt from the motor. Is the correct method to: 1. remove the back plate from the static drum bringing the rotating drum with it; 2. remove the pulley allowing the rotating drum and spindle to be taken out of the bearing 3. extract bearing 4. re-assemble by reversing the above Presumably the back plate has a gasket to the main body of the static drum? It would seem likely that this would need replacing at the same time. All advice gratefully received - TIA -- Jim Backus OS/2 user since 1994 bona fide replies to j dot backus the circle thingy jita dot demon dot co dot uk |
