    The machine can be repaired but it is likely to be expensive. I suggest you phone a couple of local repair engineers and ask for estimates of the likely cost. It will save money if you can get the machine out for the repair man and refit it when the repair is completed.

    One problem, one thread, please.

    The bearings and seal are pressed into the rear tub half. You will need a 6205 and a 6203 bearing and seal p/no 4812 530 58097. spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will be able to supply these components for you.

    Bear in mind that this is an absolute nightmare of a job, involving the total demolition of the machine. Being integrated doesn’t help any, either.

    Good luck with it,

    I didn’t describe how to do the job as it is a bit beyond the scope of the average DIY repairer. You need to remove the outer drum from the cabinet, dismantle it, remove the drum pulley, drift out the drum spindle from the old bearings, drift out the bearings and press in new bearings. The sort of tools I use include assorted drifts, a specially ground cold chisel shaped similar to a lathe tool, a length of threaded bar with nuts and very big washers, a selection of old bearings, some ground down slightly on the outside diameter, and a good old lump hammer. A vernier caliper can also come in handy for measuring the drum shaft if you suspect the old bearing has been turning on the shaft. 😉
