Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

The bearing kit is HERE to give the OP an idea. 😉

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

Thanks – I’m tempted to have go myself. Do you need a special tool to get the bearings on/off? I saw that kwatt posted a manual for the ASKO 600 series which seemed to indicate that one is needed.

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

obviously the special tool is desirable but the bearings are nothing special so can be knocked in carefully with a hammer and a steel or brass drift. you just have to be careful to knock them in straight so it normally means drifting it in slowly and move the drift around =. so tap top, then bottom ,then left ,then right one tap at a time till the bearing is all the way home. Paying particular attention to not damaging the seals on the new bearing
Key to a lot of this is preparation and cleanliness. you have to remove any corrosion that will stop the bearing going in and sitting straight

watch this. Its not the same machine but the principle is the same

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

Thanks Dave. It also indicates a special tool is needed to get the drum back in through the front and relocate the inner cover plate and front end plate. I’m guessing that the tool isn’t strictly necessary though – is that right?

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

don’t know to be honest but have been doing this job for years and have got away without lots of special tools

its a suck it and see job, take care and be patient and you can normally find a way round it

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

Thanks – it’s actually gone quite well so far in terms of getting it apart. Pulley nut is off. But drum won’t pull out. Is it ok to hammer on the bearings and splined wheel at the back to drive the drum out?

thanks

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

you need to protect the spline. if you have another bolt then screw that in and nip it up first. if you damage a bolt that’s no big deal but if you damage the spline that get to be a problem
even if you have to use the original bolt which would be a shame as it may have to be replaced if it gets damaged too much

make sure the head of the bolt is hard against the spline if not add a washer. if there is a gap it will bend

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

So – I’ve whacked the nut, skidded of and bent the spline face quite badly :bang: . Got nut out but it won’t go back in and pulley won’t seat on the spline. And drum still stuck.

Looks like I’ve properly bent the spline. Will I have to get a whole new inner tub? Is that even possible?

Not my finest hour…….

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

you may be able to file it with small files. after all you have to do is get the pulley back on securely

get the drum out first then see if its possible to repair the spline

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

Well – I’ve been hammering away with a club hammer for 2 hours and the drum won’t move a mm. With mishits and so on the spline is now mangled so even if i got it out I think a new inner drum will be needed.

Mounting piles of laundry has me under pressure now. Wife is browsing John Lewis website! If I can get drum out is an inner tub available for purchase? I’d still rather spend the money on a new tub and bearings than buy a Samsung Bubblejet or whatever they’re called.

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

in my opinion stay well clear of Samsung

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

Thanks Dave. Noted. And thanks for all the help on this thread too. I’ll be sorry to see the ISE go, but we have absolutely caned it for years so it’s been a good workhorse.

What would be a better bet – around £500 mark. Bosch/Siemens?

This seems OK (5 year guarantee too) https://www.johnlewis.com/siemens-wm14q … e/p1987342

Re: ISE10 1606W bearings

they are the same machine inside

make sure the machine you get has a non sealed tub they seem to last longer

to find out how to check and save me re writing it look here
