Re: Bosch WTA2000 – Bearing Replacement
Well, I have now also replaced the broken thermostat that I found when replacing the heating element, & whilst I was in there drilled out the 2 loosest rivets & replaced with M6 bolts as suggested by Penguin45.
RESULT!!! 😀
Even the wife now agrees that it is MUCH quieter, even with the dryer balls bouncing round inside.
Thanks again Penguin45. Pint?
Re: Bosch WTA2000 – Bearing Replacement
Thanks Penguin45. I am sorry to say that 2 of the 3 rivets can only be described as VERY loose. The holes in the relevant 2 drum support legs have become very elongated. Since I have now paid for & fitted a new heating element, I might as well have a go at trying the nuts & bolts, and run it into the ground, then the wife can have a nice shiny new one when it finally dies.
Re: Bosch WTA2000 – Bearing Replacement
I’ve just been inside the back of my WTA2000 to replace the element. Whilst in there I noticed I also have the problem with loose rivets mentioned earlier in this thread, so the drum rattles around & has worn away the holes in 2 of the tripod legs. My question now is – can this be repaired economically (e.g. bolts with locking nuts), or am I better off scrapping the unit & buying another? The only price I have found for a new drum so far is over £200!
