Indesit drum issue

Agree, might not need a capacitor. No idea how we missed it, but it’s normally not monitored whilst it’s running but we are where we are… The kit I linked to is from ransom spares but they are all likely the same. My thoughts is that as I have a capacitor that may be correct, seeing as I need to strip it down anyway, if it will work may as well fit it.
Initial symptoms were drum not turning well and stopping when changing direction when loaded. Changed direction fine when empty.
If anyone can confirm that capacitor will be fine I will fit, otherwise will send it back.
I’ll get hold of a bearing kit and a rivet gun.

Just to say thanks to all. The whole cause was the rear bearing, it was in bits and cabinet in a right state. The spindle just sheared off when I was trying to take the drum off it was that worn. Replaced everything from the kit and cleaned the big quilt like mess of fluff from inside and all fine now. Quite an interesting job to do, but why don’t the repair kits have the threads cut in the new spindle??. Didn’t replace the capacitor as wasn’t sure about the one I had.
