    I am looking for instructions on how to replace the Drum Bearing and Drum Bearing Seal on an Indesit WD12 Washer/Dryer?

    Mine started making a noise yesterday and so I have stopped using my machine until I have replaced these items.

    What size Torx driver do I need as well as any other special tools?

    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks

    You’ll need a T35 torx bit, heavy gloves and arm protectors 🙁

    It’s a very tricky job where one could so easily damaged the outer drum as it is paper thin! If when you get the spigot off and you find the ball race has collapsed, then stop at that point and throw the lot in the nearest skip.

    I would always advocate expert help to get the job done for you using this link for your convenience: Repairs@

    Best of luck! 😀

    OK, I will have a look for myself and see what I can do before calling for some help.

    In order for me to replace the bearing and seal, what items will I have to remove? Will I need to remove the top of the machine and then unmount the complete drum or am I able to to to withthe drum insitu?

    Thanks

    I think you’ll find that its a t40 torx bit for these martin.and not t35 . 😯 ,
    Skylark the bearings are located in the aluminum spider which is bolted to the rear of the drum and access and the job can be done without removal of the drum , but as martin said the drums are only very thin tin so care is needed and the torx bolts are usually very tight especially the one holding the pulley on . And as well as the obvious ( electricity suppy disconnected) beware of sharp edges as these machines can have razor sharp edges internally
