we have received a tub assy – had a look at paddles through sump hole and true enough they are bolted from inside ..
bit of a mare .. this cant be eco friendly – whole tub if 1 paddle falls off ..

Re: beko drum paddles / welded tubs ?
It has been mentioned a few times in the past. 😥
Its only as stupid as the Beko WMA machines, ISE included. The drum support is bolted to the inner drum with easily removable, sturdy bolts yet you can only get a complete drum and support assembly. A really criminal waste of a perfectly good inner drum in most cases. :rolls:
Re: beko drum paddles / welded tubs ?
I did contemplate using a hole cutter on the top of the drum above the bolt to gain access and then sealing it back up with something like the old blanking grommits/blanking plates they used to use on the old zanussi to fill in the un used thermostat hole.
It is only a thought though it just seems like such a waste to scrap a machine because of something so trivial.Phil.

No, no Loopey…..you need to fit C00113038 Drum Shaft Kit then the job’s a good ‘un.:wink:
Mind you, to be fair, there is a tenuous link between the 2 manufacturers. In the blue corner: Indesh*t and in the red: Beko (Arcelik) both have a certain whiff about them. 😈
Re: beko drum paddles / welded tubs ?

Beko WMA spider and drum are available from connect as individuals for some machines. I’ve done the spider on my own WMA765S. Like you say its bolted nicely to the drum and a fairly easy job, but I didn’t have to buy the drum. Same on the WMA745. Other WMA machines seem to have complete drum only available. Weird!

Re: beko drum paddles / welded tubs ?
I too found out the hard way today with Indesit IS60V. I usually come across with bolted shaft but this was the first.
So looks like I am having to keep an angle grinder in the van along with grinding disc as well a drill with a good set of drill bits. May as well have a mobile forge at this rate!! Not a good way of doing it from health and safety views.
to make matters worse, the client failed to mention the burning smell after I noticed the burnt fluff being stuck on to the elements, so the heater had to be replaced not by the next guy next week from the insurance, also once I have put it all back together the sodding motor failed so how was I supposed to know that as the belt snapped shortly after the drum bearings failed – I assumed that the motor was fine. And I do not work for the insurance as I am an independent.
Am I supposed to test every components before going down the route of replacing drum shaft? All that for the client’s insurance work at a capped price. Never again!! I learnt my lesson! Very pi££ed off. But I didn’t know that I was doing all this for the insurance until the client informed me that she is making a claim later today. If she had told me this earlier, I would have sold her a new dryer at a fraction of the price of repairing! If I had the foresight, I would have said BER and sell her a new dryer just to save the hassle.

One day very soon all machines will have welded tubs. Too costly for insurance companies to contemplate replacing so angle grinders and lump hammers will no longer be a necessity…never fear.

I’ll reserve my judgment on that… Just to make it clear, I do not work for the insurance company just that a customer of mine was using the insurance and employed me privately that she will be reimbursed for the work I did. I thought that insurance prefered their own people rather than the local guy.
Angle grinder and lump hammer are the way forward… might get a mig welding as well! 8)
