Indesit W83UK Drum bearings/seal

[jimmett]

Please can someone help me. My drum is squeaking and I fear if I don’t replace the bearings now I will be faced with a huge bill. I imagine I will need bearings and a seal. machine details: Indesit W83UK S/N 106050074.
Thank you

squeaking?
could be just something caught between the drum and door seal
but you should be able to get bearings easy enough from shop on site
but i reccomend getting them fitted by someone who knows what they are doing unless you have some experience with this kind of thing

I have dismantled the machine and checked the bearings. they are definatly dry and binding. the outer feels as though the race has broken up.

Then you may have a problem.

I would suggest you try to get the remains of the bearings out of the backplate first before ordering any parts. you may finish up needing to replace the whole of the backplate and possibly the drum & support shaft assy. Around £120 + vat for parts.

Hardly worth it on one of these machines. 😥

Plug out at all times.
