Siemens WM50201GB/01 spider.

BSH site lists this as complete drum @ £203.40.
BER then 🙁 unless somebody knows some way I can get spider only?
Pity, I was looking forward to a different machine to work on.

Re: Siemens WM50201GB/01 spider.

I made a couple of calls to BSH this morning but all I got was buck passing. So I have sent the following e-mail to mks-customerliaison@bshg.com

“Dear Sir or Madam,I have a customer with a Siemens WM50201GB/01 washing machine which is in excellent condition, having had little use due to being in a second home. The drum support assembly (also known in the trade as “spider”), which bolts onto the back of the inner drum is only listed as complete inner drum @ £203.40. The exploded diagram shows the spider separated from the inner drum. Please could you explain to me why the spider is not available separately.Please reply as soon as possible.Yours Sincerely, “

I’ve got time because the customer is able to wait. So I’m going to give them some stick about this. If I don’t get a satisfactory answer I’m going to Trading Standards and if that don’t work, it’s Watchdog.
Mike.

Nope, 208365 is the bearing housing on the back of the tub. Mike wants the drum support/spider for the drum.

Re: Siemens WM50201GB/01 spider.

Thanks for trying lerch but that’s the “bearing cross” which is the housing for the bearings which bolts on the back of the outer tub. I need the spider which bolts on the back of the inner drum. (p/no. 233132 is inner drum complete).
Not heard back from bsh yet.
Mike.

Well I got a reply to my e-mail,
BSH Home Appliances Ltd. wrote:
“Thank you for your email and the query with regards to the spider.The diagrams we use are derived from the factory manifests and show the two items separately, however, on the factory floor these two parts are riveted together with non-corrosive rivets and are therefore sold as a single item and not available as separate items.”

Was thrown a bit by that. Was sure I saw bolts holding the old spider on.
Anyway, contacted customer and he had found an LG 8kg 1200 spin 2yrs gtee for £250 delivered from some place in Birmingham. So no contest really. What can y’ do?
Mike.
