Can anyone give me a part number for bearings and seal kit please?
The said machine feels very dry on the ball race as it’s rumbles when you turn the drum but no movement either up or down.
Connect website seems to do one bearing and seal but I am sure that there should be two bearings and one seal. I have not been able to locate the second one.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Connect doesn’t recognise Hoover HNF3156 – have you got the product number; starts 31…..
Usually you will find the bearing seal will have a spec on it and the outer size matches the bearing behind it. The rear bearing is usually the next size down.HTH,
Steve.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3157
The product number is 31000603 0516 9047
HNF3157 is the model, my error sorry.
On connect they have this: 5031681517667
But nothing else apart from tub seal – 5031684743490.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Front seal – 91406202 (30-52 11/12.5)
Front bearing – 09170838 (most likely 6205Z)
Rear bearing – shown as 09170838 or 24152043. Connect show the last number as a complete tub assembly; Qualtex as a separate bearing. (Most likely 6204Z)Or you could fit a Zanussi small shaft bearing kit (brg94207) and be done with it…… 😉
HTH,
Steve.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Thanks Steve, just one more thing…
5031681665542 this is the part number of the bracket for this washing machine.
I found this on the floor when I removed the drum out of the machine. Could not work out where does it go, can anyone tell me where does this bracket go?
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
5031681665542 is the concrete weight tapping plate that fits in the slot in the top of the tub. They always fall out when you lift and tilt the drum unit.
HTH,
Steve.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Thanks Steve,
The bearings sizes you gave, did not appear to be matching against the tub. The outer bearing is printed as 6207-2z, I presume this is a bigger size? So if the inner bearing is the next size up from the rear making it 6208?
The one you quoted was for 6205z and 6204z.
Some advice would be appreciated. I am not in a great hurry as I got the machine for free from a customer to enable me to have a play on it as I don’t often come across bearing changes and would welcome the chance to play.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
You’ll have to remove the bearings and see – those part numbers were actually from Gias’ own site; that’s what Hoover say this machine is fitted with. Shouldn’t suprise us though…..:rolls:
Steve.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Managed to remove the bearings, the outer race is 6207-2z, the inner race is 6208-2r.
Does this surprise you? So I will have to look through the bearings list….
Any clues on where to get part number?
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Certainly been an interesting afternoon locating new bearings, found two suppliers of ball bearings.
They say the SKF manufacturer have changed the coding of the ball races. So i am waiting to hear from them to see if they have it otherwise bye bye washing machine…
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
The bearings should be off the shelf items or try Simply Bearings at the top of the spare parts forum. The size and spec of the seal is moulded on its front surface – clean it thoroughly and quote this number to the bearing supplier. These seals are ordinary oil seals and should be easy to get.
Hoover show two replacement tub units for these machines; but no details on the bearings fitted to these later items – so I have to assume the bearings and seal were enlarged. It may be that yours is a later type………..possibly… :rolls:HTH,
Steve.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Thanks Steve,
I have contacted two bearings specialists, Simply Bearings and Bearings King. They both said that the bearing I quoted was not exactly off the shelf due to the change of coding on the bearings. The last three numbers I quoted as 223, I was told that these numbers have a specific reasons and there’s no direct replacement so they (SKF) are looking for equivalent and would get back to me within an hour which was yesterday lunch time. They do have the bearings off the shelf that matches the first half of the coding but the other half threw them off course. I have not heard from them yet.
I maybe safe to assume that they have not found it and possibly made my Hoover washer render obsolete. I doubt that they would make one specially for me as there’s no demand for it? I found it odd that if this is a later version then there should be parts available? Like you said you would not be surprised to see the changes. As a novice – is this common among Hoover products including Candy? I think I will hold on to it till Monday and if nothing developed then consider loss.
Pity as I have a potential buyer of the Hoover washer once I have fixed it with new bearings, what a shame! That’s life I suppose… Scrap yard gains
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Actually, I have had one of these with the super large bearings in it …..strange how Gias don’t know what they fit to their own machines. :rolls: I just fitted a standard 6208 bearing and matching seal and that was easily 3 years ago. I know the machine is still going as I see the lady’s Indesit drier and dishwasher quite regularly. Needs some detective work but it can be done.
Best of luck!!Steve.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
I didn’t anything back from the two bearings suppliers. My van was beginning to fill up with dead machines and couldn’t hold it out for longer. If I had the bearings in time then I would have not been in this position. Sadly the Hoover washer found its way to the scrap yard along with the blasted Zanussi sealed tub washer.
Now today is a good day to bury bad news…a leaking 5 years old Bosch Dishwasher!
Thanks for your advice Steve, I have learnt a great deal from it and am not put off by it. What I will do next time is order a standard 6208 bearings and seal and see what happens. 🙂
