Hello,
One of the plastic paddles inside the drum broke into pieces, the other two doesn’t look too good either so I went and bought 3 new ones.
Those lifters slide into place and are then secured by a screw from the outside of the drum.I’ve watched a video for a similar washer and the hose that connects the dispenser to the drum was on the top of the outer drum tube. So removing the top and disconnecting the hose gives a hole big enough to screw/unscrew the lifter.
However, on my machine, the dispenser hose is connected to the drum on one of the sides, directly below the dispenser itself. Just by looking at it it doesn’t seem possible to unscrew the lifter from there. Even if I remove the dispenser, there is about 10-15 cm from the drum opening to the side of the washer.
Sump hose is also not an options as it is at the front side of the outer tube, towards the door, and the screw hole is more towards the middle.The only options I can think of is to remove the dispenser and disconnect its hose and lay the machine on the opposite side of the dispenser in order to allow suspenders to extend a bit and possibly give a bit more room between the side of the washer and outer tube’s dispenser hole. But even then it seems it will be extremely hard to reach and screw the bolt.
Have anyone seen something similar, am I missing something ? How would you go about it ? Can splitting the drum be the only way to replace the plastic lifters ?
(Dispenser connects to the outer tube around the marked area on the picture, below the dispenser itself)
