Hello all, just wondering, on these how much of a job is it to change bearings? is rear half of drum a better option?, also if its bearings, connect seem to list them seperatly, do you have to order this way?
cheersp.s. what are you charging for a bearing/drum change to these
Re: Zanussi FLE1216
That one has the later 6 kg drum i think, last one i did a few weeks ago, had to take drum out through top, bit of a wriggle, took about an hour & half to complete. spider was fine to reuse as miracle of miracles, she had actually called me before the bearings collapsed.
I got bearings as kit , cant remember where 😳 (gettin old) shop@ have them for £20 odd if youre stuck 😉
Re: Zanussi FLE1216
You can buy a complete bearing kit – Masterparts one is AG05104, £15. You will also need a tub centre seal, p/no1240159-03/6.
If you haven’t done one before, allow yourself two hours. Once you’ve done a few it comes down to not much over an hour. I charge £90 up here in Yorkshire.
All FLE1216 machine have the split casing, so access is pretty simple.

PS. I think i prised £80 from her for my trouble, about what i was getting for similar jobs 10 yrs ago! Its hardly worth the hassle these days IMO.
Re: Zanussi FLE1216
did used to do zanussi bearings but that was a few years ago, from what i remember its back of cabinet off, remove wiring/hoses then drum out & split, not too different from a WMA, but that was a while ago,
Re: Zanussi FLE1216
Gotta make it where we can, Rob…. Public perception is that it’s a highly complex, technical, labour intensive job and that’s just fine by me!
Chris.
what i MEANT was that £60 aint bad, and to say its hardly worth it smacks people like me in the face
told you all before.. if i had just a little bit more bottle …….
Re: Zanussi FLE1216
dont suppose anyone got the qualtex part number, their website really it pants for searching, masterpart has the seal oos, may get them from shop, whats the delivery time like for shop items?
Re: Zanussi FLE1216
Entered part number for bearing seal – there is a sort of “equivalents” list at the top of the description – the kit number was in there.

Re: Zanussi FLE1216
Ah – TDS disc. Full Lux group tech data, very comprehensive, exceptionally good value at £20 odd. Sadly, the current edition is the last one ever, so get one quick!
Knocks spots off the Indesit rubbish.
