Help needed urgently bearings

Re: Help needed urgently bearings

I can’t find that model exactly but, close enough I expect.

It has a sealed tank so, you won’t find bearings for it as, you can’t replace them, only the full tank assembly which is listed at over £200.

Basically the only sensible option is to bin it and buy a new one I’m afraid.

NB. If it is under 5 years old then the Indesit Company will repair it for labour only, around £120 which is a far better option than spending £250 on something just as bad or worse.

My first washer cost me £300, that was over 40 years ago, that lasted 19 years. 😉

Never has a set of truer words ever been spoken Martin.

I wouldn`t take the gamble on anything expensive in the appliance industry now unless everything had a 10 year warranty which about 4 Miele models come to mind which are pretty good based on what pretty good means in 2015 relative to almost all other stuff. Buy for 1000 quid = to 100 quid a year, after 10 years machine goes wrong and it will= major big bucks to get it repaired or simply an expensive repair gamble based on age = scrap it = relative to high cost of machine verses cheap 200 quid brand lasting circ 4-6 years normal use better off buying cheap brand and take a gamble or at worst your no better off. Do not base high class machines reliablity on the past, talk of 25 year old future appliances bought today lasting that length of time I find it so very difficult to believe, a myth given everything is micro proccessor based however everthing can last forever even cheap stuff so long as 1) there are parts, 2) you want to throw a variable amount/ a lot of money at the fault and 3) you can be bothered.
Some induction/ inverter machines have a 10 year warranty on the brushless motor but only because it is very rare for that part to fail unlike its pcboard control which does not have a 10 year parts cover and is the part that`s prone to failure.
I know someone who bought a Miele coffee machine, 2000 quids worth which jacked out of warranty……cost to repair £600……scrapped; that`s an awful lot of instant coffee! She`s now got a Russell Hobbs, it`ll go wrong too and she knows that she also knows two other things 1) it`ll be cheap to replace and 2) that the green revolution was nonsense, sadly, and that its true colours are now only too apparent and that is to recycle efficiently terminally shot short survival goods as quick as possible. £ talks. Have the spares cost at sensible levels as well as the original purchase price but alas that would be a complete change to the whole capitalistic system and it isn`t going to happen; dream on. `Wastage` has neally doubled in 20 years the only saving grace is that the recycle industry has grown to met the ever increasing demand- this is not what it was all originally was about it was about not buying stuff you don`t need, buying second hand, swoping stuff, buying new stuff that`s well made, and fixing what you have for as long as possible; a naive dream, and a great shame and a chance politically thrown away.
