    Whirlpool HDW1011WG 10KG washer. 8570 084 15101. Serial no:- 31 0835208094.

    This “heavy duty” machine has bearing failure already. How easy is it to change the drum bearing? Also I need to know the bearing sizes as the Whirlpool prices are astronomical!! £35 + VAT from Connect for the shaft seal alone!!
    The drum can be lifted up and down about 3/4 inch, so the bearings are really shot. How much for a drum shaft / spider unit, if available?

    On the whole are these machines usually durable or are they just like the Hoover 9kg machine – basically domestic running gear with a commercial look?

    Any help on this please!!!

    Cheers,

    Steve.

    Hi Steve,

    Generaly they are not a bad machine, I have done a few back half changes over the years but not a major cause of problems and a bearing change is an easy job for a pro. According to SIOS the bearings are 6206 and 6307 which I see you can get from http://www.simplybearings.co.uk for about £13 for the pair.

    Thanks, John.
    If the shaft is scored, is it only available as a drum assembly complete? I got a price of £188.90 + vat for that today. 😯

    Put the prices together and it’s horrific. Is it worth me doing it?

    Unfortunately the spider is part of the drum. I am still using last years SIOS and the retail for the drum is £252 incl VAT so by the time you add the genuine seal and pattern bearings you are talking just over £300 for the parts.

    This machine was over £800 when new so would be worth fixing and would take you 90 mins max. If they dont want it fixing get the machine from them, stick a new seal and some bearings in it and put it in your garage, Then start a business washing all the king size duvets in the street :rotfl:

    If you saw what was going in this machine, you would not get within 50 miles of it with your duvet, I can assure you….. :rotl:
    One of the price comparison sites had a customer review that said that Whirlpool wanted £620 to do a bearing job on one of these machines; that can’t be right….can it?

    Whirlpool engineers don’t fit bearings they would fit a back half and possibly a drum so the parts would be about £500 going by the inflated prices they charge. About £600 would be the Whirlpool price.
