I need the part number corresponding to Connect part No. 5031684823406, the seal used for the 30mm drum shaft models. This is a special order on Connect but I want to check if any other suppliers keep it in stock.
Re: Hotpoint WF Series 30mm Seal
I usually order the complete kit, 1604600, not listed by Hotpoint as a separate part.

Re: Hotpoint WF Series 30mm Seal
Yes, so do I but I’m trying to use up some bearings from obsolete bearing kits. Connect are expensive for the complete kit but everyone else I’ve tried is out of stock. 🙁
Re: Hotpoint WF Series 30mm Seal
Clean up the old seal enough to read the numbers, then take it along to your local bearing stockist (see Yellow Pages) as they carry loads I expect? 💡
Re: Hotpoint WF Series 30mm Seal
Have ordered a kit plus a couple of seals so at least I will have them eventually. Incidentally, I thought the kit from Connect was expensive at £20.18 until I looked at the Maddocks site where it’s listed at £29.27 😯

It is quite an unusual looking seal, probably specially made for Hotpoint.
Re: Hotpoint WF Series 30mm Seal
These seals arrived today but now I don’t know if they have sent me the wrong thing or they are correct but are not a washing machine part at all. They are just rubber grommets such as you would find in a vacuum cleaner. The part is called “Seal for drum shaft 30mm” MER026307. 😕
Re: Hotpoint WF Series 30mm Seal
Sounds like they sent you the old type “Skirt Seal” that used to meet up with the stainless steel washer on the cast bearing spider
Re: Hotpoint WF Series 30mm Seal
I did try to get a suitable seal in Elgin today. I have another of these machines to do and I don’t have a spare 30mm shaft bearing kit. This time the front bearing came out intact so I think the centre section of the old seal assembly could be re-used. The outer part could well be an off-the-shelf seal as suggested by Martin. Unfortunately I’m told there is nowhere in Elgin so my nearest bearing stockist is Aberdeen, 60 miles away.
