Can anyone tell me the difference between

and
https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/c00305794-tumble-dryer-drum-repair-kitApart from £4, is one a better quality both state they fit the IDV75
Thanks
the dearer one is a genuine manufacturers part
the other is a part made by someone else to do the same jobif it was me i would use genuine parts
first question with all hotpoint dryers is was this unit modified by hotpoint during the recall ?
Dave
Thanks Dave, I agree with you for £4 I’ll go with the genuine part, although it’s supposed to come with a 10 year parts warranty & only 4 years old, I’m going to give the manufacturer a ring Monday, but I suspect it’s parts only so will have to pay for the labour which will be more than the part. Ridiculous design, the last dryer died in exactly the same way.
Alan..
you would have to pay for labour and it would be cheaper to get a local guy in
also what i asked is, was the machine modified during the recent racall, at 4 years old its ony the edge of where they pre modified them in production
Dave
Sorry Dave I missed your question, yes, they sent an Engineer out a couple of few ago not quite sure what he did other than a brace across the back of the unit, but he had it stripped down for 30-45 minutes so I presume he did extra work inside, I ws working so didn’t watch him. Alan,
Does this look repairable, or has it gone too far, no point in buying a new bearing if it’s just going to fail again.
Thanks Dave, thought it would be, but nice to get the confirmation, Indesit BTW don’t think this is a design fault, and that it’s acceptable for it to fail in 4 years. Alan..
