Hi, I’m looking to buy a bearing press (to fit them squarely) for both hotpoint machines and a general press for other makes……..I can’t find where to buy them from and UK whitegoods have suggested putting the question to the forum.
Any ideas
ThanksRe: Washing machine bearing press
UKWG’s actually supply these, may only be trade only, not sure. If you are in the trade then I would suggest you apply for trade access ASAP. 😉
Re: Washing machine bearing press
Sadly, they are the first people I contacted and they do not supply the bearing press tool, only the bearing extractor tool,but thanks anyway.
Re: Washing machine bearing press
Well there is always, overpriced ESpares’
Bearing toolkit 😯 hotpoint part number for that is 5600130.Thats just for WM bearings, for the WMA machines you would also need the 5600172.
You might find them on Fleabay cheaper.
Moved to trade tech.
Fasboy now has trade access, welcome to the forums.
By bearing press, I assume that you want this to put the bearings back in rather than extract them, yes?
Is it specific for Hotpoint or do you want it to do other stuff as well?

Re: Washing machine bearing press
That Hotpoint kit is designed to both extract and refit bearings, its better at pulling them back in than extracting them though.
Re: Washing machine bearing press
I got mine from Qualtex about ten years ago for less than half the Hotpoint price at the time. Not sure if they still do one though.
Re: Washing machine bearing press
In answer to kwatt, yes, it’s to press the bearings in squarely. I’ve just started up in the trade so need a selection of machine bearing presses. I just missed a hotpoint press on e-bay a few months ago, and have had no success finding a press for zanussi etc at all.
I currently have the loan of these presses and was quote £500 to replicate just the zanussi press.
Thanks

Oh yes indeed…………Spookily enough I’m selling such a brilliant piece of kit on eBay right now as it happens. Check it out HERE!!!!!! 😀
Re: Washing machine bearing press
Looks like mine from Qualtex but where are the extracting parts for the main bearing Martin?
Re: Washing machine bearing press
By eck Martin, thats the old original that preceded the large Red Box doofers more than twenty years ago.
I think I still have some bits of one of those old kits lying around in the garage.

The large round tube was supposed to be used for extracting the old bearings, useless if the bearings had collapsed.

The spring loaded collets ARE INCLUDED but not shown in the photo…I’ll see if I can edit the piccy…wait one!
Re: Washing machine bearing press
Piccy on eBay sorted now……brilliant piece of kit, does what it says in the spec AND more importantly, far far cheaper than the 5600130 official kit runs at in todays stupid prices. A bl**dy bargain and no mistake. 😀 I won’t turn down any reasonable off-line offers either by the way. 😉
