Hi folks
Need your wonderfull expertise again.
Just wondered if there is a mod for the front bearing felt on the above model to replace the bearing felt with nylon bearing pads. If there is then it looks like the front vent chamber needs changing as there is no fittings for the pads unlike the bearing wheel models.
The machine is only 3yrs old and has worn bearing felt thru and drum lip so new drum required already. Crap tight belt design so not worth doing unless mod. available.
Thanks folks
Re: H/point TDL31 front bearing felt mod?
This model has been completely revamped in this area. The conversion kit includes a new inner drum, plastic front duct, plastic bearing pads, filter, wiring mods, stats, seals, fan, etc, etc. You will be hard pushed to bring this one home under Hotpoints £90.00 labour charge.
Unless the date code is 07 or higher, this was when the change was made.
Kit is a 1702495, around £50.00 ex vat. 😥
There is a nice picture of the kit at Masterpart.
One word of warning if you do order this kit, check out the condition of the parts on delivery, I have had one or two badly dented drums due to mishandling.
