Re: panasonic washing machines
just total nonsense might get it down to 45mins dont really want the practice but been told the bearing job is total nightmare
Re: panasonic washing machines
Bearings are a rear tub replacement. Bearings cannot be replaced….and rear tub can only be replaced if you can seperate the inner drum from it :rolls:
Under warranty it is complete tub replacements.Re: panasonic washing machines
Two points.
One, I have been told that these are an absolute swine to work on in many ways.
Two, what happens when there is no warranty?

Re: panasonic washing machines
Here’s my two penn’orth .We’ve refurbished a few of these in the workshop eg model no.NA-168VX2 which is 8kg 1600 spin.They tend to bounce about a bit with various loads.We’ve had a couple of call backs with H43 faults which is water in the base (this seems to be main complaint on public forums on this model)We’ve nailed it to the door seal – the band holding it to the tub isnt adequate , there isnt enough rubber onto the tub and the door seal is too soft and a slack fit.With the excessive movement the door seal leaks.In conclusion – nice looking machines,electronics second to none(what other m/c has a cooling fan on the pcb like desktop pc)door seal,band and suspension not up to scratch.Customers that buy these tend to buy on the reputation of the TVs.Theyre priced in the Bosch Loggix,ISE,cheaper Miele range but not as good – with a few tweaks they could be.
Re: panasonic washing machines
never seen a machine yet which needs a cooling fan total over engineering anyway new ones coming out of turkey
