Hotpoint TVEM70C vented dryer

[Washdisher]

This is the fixed shaft one.

Is it acceptable/feasible to drill out the rivets holding the shaft to the drum and attaching a new shaft? Also when I’ve searched for parts I can’t find the usual Hotpoint front bearing pads. Do they use something different?

Any help much appreciated.

Never attempted it myself but have heard of people trying that fix.

Front bearing pads are C00287118.

Heard a couple of the indesit guys use a wood chisel to knock the shaft off only problem is some of the newer drums the shaft kit doesnt line up with the holes on the drum.

Done a few of late. Just whacked the old shaft off. Its luck if you leave any sharp edges though. I just used the parts that come with the version 4 drum kit. Pads included.

The teardrop had worn down but the shaft was fine, so no need to replace.

I used to chisel off but now always drill, it is neater and no risk of damage to the drum. I always fit the V4 complete kit, C00113038 and charge accordingly. To be fair it is a good repair and will give the machine a new lease of life!
