Yep, another sealed drum assembly (Part No. 481241818744). Get that baby apart and replace the bearings and you can probably walk on water or even plait sawdust as well! 😈

You might find it useful to do a search, such as “welded” or “split tub”. That should provide you with ample reading! 😉

turns out the washer is only 18 months old ha , customer wanted to get it fixed under warranty , i left it in her garage over christmas ,tub on the ground , and the whirlpool tech said he would swing by in the new year at a cost of 50 quid (under warranty) ? he arrived yesterday put in the new tub and left the washer in the garage ??? no connecting it up to see if all was well , no i’ll just bring that inside for you and connect it up ? what kind of service do these guys provide? so customer calls me and asks if i will hook it up to water and leccy , so half hour later all installed again turn on power and bang !! tripped mcb , so i reset breaker and no power in m/c , crazy stuff !
