On the last wash I did, the machine made a loud screeching noise on the fast spin. Does this sound like drum bearings?
How difficult are the bearings to replace?
TIA

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the hardest) I would say 11 🙁
Only because the effectiveness of bearing replacement on these machines is well below par. Poorly constructed machine where the drum shaft cannot be accessed or replaced often means a bearing replacement is little better than a bodge job!
If the screeching is the bearing that is…….? Have you checked the pump firstly???
Re: Indesit WE12 screeching noise
Didn’t check the pump – will do so when I get home.
I turned it off, the screeching stopped as the spin slowed down. Then I turned the dial to ‘drain’ as the door won’t open if you stop midcycle without draining. Seemed to pump out ok.
I will attempt most things up to about a 6 on a scale of 1 – 10. 11 is probably over and above my capabilities!
Thanx

Oh dear!…then it’s not the pump but the main bearings (The drum seal leaks and the inner bearing goes rusty as a result) Cost to get the Bearings & Seal replaced by someone can be up to £100 🙄

And I’m guessing that on a scale of 1 – 10 that’s about a 12 then….
Probably time for a new machine I guess.
Thanks for the help
