Re: washing machine ariston
From the back, both bearings are mounted inside a four legged drum spider. Two different sizes of shaft & bearings, the best thing is to try and remove the bearings first and examine the drum shaft. If that is badly worn or ‘grooved’ than you would need a complete drum assembly as well. It is just not worth it on these Indesit produced machines.
Removal of spider is not easy, it usually includes several deep gashes to hands & arms. The cabinet and drum edges are razor sharp.
Plug out at all times if you intend to have a go or try the link below for a recommended engineer.
