How do you change the bearings on a Hotpoint Washer WM75N

Re: How do you change the bearings on a Hotpoint Washer WM7

For safety and legal reasons we cannot go into great detail. To be honest this repair depends a great deal on the condition of the failed bearings and the drum shaft. To do the job correctly you also need the correct tools to refit the new bearings, and a new drum front seal should also be fitted. The basics should be obvious to anyone with sufficient technical ability, the front panel has to be removed to access the outer drum.

A competant engineer with the correct tools would be your best course of action. Please make sure you remove the plug if you intend to proceed.

Both seals must be replaced.

Do you mean the bearing seal or the the seal between the front of the drum and the front panel?

Thanks again

Not the grey rubber seal between the front panel and drum front, the large hoop shaped rubber seal between the drum front and the outer drum itself, and the bearing seal.
