I was asked to take a look at my mums Bosch 2007 WAE24162UK Classix 6 machine after she told me it was tripping the electrics, she also said it had been banging loud on spin the past couple of weeks before 🙁
I found it was only tripping when heating the water, and the banging is from the drum hitting the outer case on spin.
The way it looks to me is the swinging has taken its toll on ether the bearing or warped the drum I guess, if you take a look on the Youtube video the drum is not turning true anymore and its its worn through the heating element.
I am just wondering if its worth all the parts, I guess it would need new suspension legs as there is little resistance in them, maybe new springs (can they stretch?) a new heating element and a bearing kit, and could it of even warped the actual drum itself now?
Over the 11years of the machine its had a new pump, motor bushes and door seal so cant complain really as I did the labour and parts sub £50.
Is it worth it anymore though when you can get a Samsung or something with 5 year parts and labour for £370.
Any Advice warmly received.
Re: Bosch Heating Element Damaged By Drum? With Video
drum spider will have corroded and snapped expensive repair as drum and spider are sold as 1 unit at about £110
if you are fitting a new drum you would also need a seal kit at about £25
then you have to take into account the machines age

Many thanks Dave to the scrapyard it seems then, just too much in parts for me to do the job proper and make it worth while.
