Not sure whether ISE admin e-mails are being opened so thought I would post here for a speedier response.
Require front tub, tub gasket, front concrete weight, screws, spacers, collars and heater.
The front concrete weight has broken up and the screws have sheared in tub.
Serial number;

I said I would call customer this evening to tell her if spares are stocked at ISE, sorry to put on you.
Thanks.

Hi Tim,
All are available but it’s a freight delivery so won’t go out till next week as the carriers are closed. 😕

Re: AW23 front weight
I had a similar problem, Thin bolts
I managed to remove the sheared bolts by sawing around the end of the weight mountings with a small hacksaw. I took off a few millimetres and was then able to get hold of the end of the snapped bolt with mole grips and unscrew it.
These bolts are some of the thinnest I have ever seen holding weights on. 😥

Re: AW23 front weight
I will let her know, thanks.
Have you had any others with front weight issues?
Those screws are the thinnest I’ve ever seen for holding the weights.

Perhaps I was being generous in calling them bolts, screws is much more like it.
Re: AW23 front weight
I had to “borrow” a front tub off a machine to get a customer going before Xmas and while you are right that the screws are the thinnest, they also were not very tight. I was able to undo them with a socket screwdriver and found it not much harder than taking lid screws off a normal machine.
I wonder if this is the case on them all. I will be checking new machines before I sell them.Re: AW23 front weight
On a side issue does the front come right off on these machines. I assume it does as when I had the front lower panel off I could see two screws facing me.
If it does come off I also assume I can change the front tub in situ?
Re: AW23 front weight
Yes Tim , front comes right off and tub front is an easy replacement with drum in situ.
Remove control panel and 2 more screws in behind that.
Re: AW23 front weight
Had the same problem a few months a go. On ballance from what I see the AW23 seems to have a low failure rate.

Aaghhh.
I have got three of these with the weights ripped off in the past two days. 😥One with both weights off, door seal ripped and the studs broken off the front of the drum. :rolls:

Got exactly the same, will be phoning tomorrow.
Must admit those bolts are extremly thin…
