AWCT10L Bearing job.

[bagman]

I have an out of guarantee job and the drum is all over the place.

Anyone done one of these and if so is it a viable (economic) repair for the customer?

Any info would be appreciated.

Fairly straight forward, top off, facia off, bottom plinth off, door seal unclipped, remove door interlock, front off. (Now this bit makes it alittle easier to do – drill a hole at the top of the drum pulley recess on the back of the rear casing – then using a hole cutter cut an inch and a half hole in the casing – this gives you access to the drum pulley retaining nut) lock pulley and remove nut and washer. Round to the front, take off wires to heater/thermistor, remove two counterweights and then undo ye number of tubfront screws. Take tubfront off disconnecting pressure switch pipe as you go – You are now in, drum pulley off tub out and you have access to bearing/seal assy. The bearing and seal kit is the same as that used on the Hotpoint 95/WM series. Reassembly is the reverse checking the normal and then finally blank off the hole you cut at the start. Good luck
