Getting a few call backs on these which scrape after fitting a complete Drum support kit.
Sometimes the drum will only scrape once machine is hot, which tells you how fine the tolerance is between drum and back panel.
Has any one devised a fool proof method for doing this job right, first time every time? (apart from selling new one)
I have tried variations on number of spacer washers fitted, and always ensure every screw on the machine is tight as the cabinets are so flimsy.
Any ideas or pointers to threads covering this topic much appreciated.

Hi Neil,
Try the search facility and put in the model numbers of the various t/dryers you have been repairing, you should find plenty info including drum mods and rear seal mods etc.
silverbroomonly cure is a new drum
1703662 for the vented
look at the back panel when u take it out, its probably been scraping all the time
Re: Hotpoint Indesit Tumble Dryers Scrape after fitting drum
is there not a mod out for these that you fit an extra washer between the support and the backplate, which pushed the drum further from the back panel???
im sure in the v4 shaft kits a new washer is there and thats what its for.
Re: Hotpoint Indesit Tumble Dryers Scrape after fitting drum
The extra washers don’t cure a bad one, as helo says the modified drum with the rounded edge at the back is the only certain cure.

Re: Hotpoint Indesit Tumble Dryers Scrape after fitting drum
only guaranteed complete repair is new drum and new back panel with the tear drop style bearing
no more scraping noises after that 😀ofcourse after that mod you then get the drum falling off the front suppport because once the front is stripped down a few times it likes to bow outwards
Re: Hotpoint Indesit Tumble Dryers Scrape after fitting drum
Sadly the teardrop bearing wears away just as fast as the old square one. 😥

i hate these dryers take out half a dozen screws and the entire appliance is like a flat pack from ikea
Re: Hotpoint Indesit Tumble Dryers Scrape after fitting drum

You aint got the better of me yet you poxy scrapin vtd’s!
feel better for venting my feelings, a mans gotta scrape by somehow,
drum up some business and dry to do his best at all times.maybe I need a couple of days off 😕 ❓
erm, if your feeling, erm , a bit dodgy
look where its been scraping, and use the back seal out of the kit, and stick it to where its been catching
not that ive ever done that, you understand

Knee in the middle of the back panel and pull works for me……….
