Been getting some rough Hotpoint bearings coming through lately, Prt No16897077 that fit the WM62 type machines. They feel rough when you turn them by hand straight out of the packet and once fitted they sound as noisey as hell on spin.
Going to try some pattern bearings or go to a bearing trader in future.
i got a pattern drum spider and bering kit for the older hotpiont models wm range etc. the fixing bolts all sheared when i tightened them the bearing were so rough i couldnt use them and the shaft was a rattling fit.
