This was a brand new tub, bolted with new gasket . Yeah it’s quite bad at the low spin almost a clatter. If I lean on it it gets better, but it’s not good. As the spin increases it gets much better. I fitted the existing dampeners because they were okay with the original tub, could they be responsible?

Hi Dave

Okay so I managed to get a new tub with new gasket and with the bearings fitted for 165.00. The one you recommended didn’t fit my model. Everything was marked when I dismantled so the refit went well.

But. I have a problem with tub balance. The machine washes fine, but the spin is when I get a lot of vibration at around 800-1000. When the machine reachs 1200 it ‘levels’ out and the spin is fine and quiet. What could be happening here? Everything is fitted as it came off. Thanks

Thanks. Just to end – have you heard of these plastic bolts for the dampers or am I mistaken?

Thanks Dave

Okay now I have to make a decision on a machine that’s already 12 years old and rather inefficent. I think there maybe other things that are required. E.g. The dampeners are not held by bolts but what looks like plastic drive ‘bolts’. Any thoughts you have on those two issues would be appreciated.

Thanks for getting back so quickly.

Yes should have given you that:
91452401501 & ser. no 72000680

As mentioned the plastic drum surround looks welded AND it has to come out through the top I think!
