I have a few Hotpoint WF machines which need bearings and spiders replaced.Because of the price of 30mm parts i am thinking of buying the 35mm rear drum,and replacing the spider to 35mm to fit.These machines have the small induction motor.Will the rear drum fit correct to the front drum.I seem to remember that they were slightly different and didnt match up.

Re: wf630

there is only 1 part number for front of tub so it should in theory fit the 35mm tub rear

Re: wf630

They fit perfectly, the only real difference is the size of the concrete weights, they are slightly larger for the 30mm bearing & spider drum. I have fitted new rear half & shaft on several occasions without any problems.

It is only the 7kg machines that have a differant drum front half and rear half, i replace the 30 mm back half all the time with a 35 mm, the 30 mm bearings were fitted to all the 1400 spin and under machines, the 1600 spin all were fitted with 35 mm ones.
