Washing Machine problem

[dave100]

Time for a new machine i think

 

[wullboy]

New drum bearing with new spider as well m8, a bit of a c*** of a job, but feasible [ and replace the belt will your in there ]

 

[liamt]

Wiw 20 years old im lucky to get 20months out of mine, missus has it on all day everyday

 

[smiffy46]

"was washing a heavy settee throw" and if the drum now isn't moving freely = Drum bearings gone (as has been said..)

At twenty years old, not worth bothering with a repaid

Had a look in the back of washer and decided to get a new 1 from currys.
Bosch have a 2 year guarantee for ALL machines but this one caught my eye with a 5 year guarantee

It would cost @ &350 but the peace of mind from the guarantee would be great,what do you think?

And thanks for all the helpful advice

The 5 year warranty is a manufacturers warranty, you get that regardless of where you buy it from, as long as you register it within 90 days of purchase, they'll increase the normal 3yr warranty to 5 yrs:

The motor had a smell of smoke and drum is sticky so I decided a nice new 1 will do the trick

 

[aldan]

Will the shaft be bent or worn if not spinning true with an over loaded machine.So bearing and no mention of a seal?

hahaha,spoken like a true automechanic.

 

[cactikid]

Ahh but i did replace 2 and used skf bearings and a year later it was gone again,bent shaft lol

 

[Del-Boy]

Here's the new machine,built in England

Looks decent mate didn't know they still did hot and cold fill anymore

Thats what clinched it for me mate,plus the fact that it doesn't seem to have ridiculously long wash programs and a simple control panel

The thing is that having an issue on the washing machine can cost more and issue like water drainage or spin problem. I have also seen this type of problems and I have also done the washing machine repair as well.
