Re: Indesit W161 UK Bearing change
@ phildom
had a talk with a snapon rep he said they all snap and he has to replace them all the time so it seems that this is a failing of the system or more likely the bolt should have a bigger sized torx socket to stop breakage
Re: The Easy Way to remove Hotpoint Drum Bearings
got a method i have used for years to successfully remove most collapsed bearing without drilling
buy a new bearing or the same size and take it to bits by damaging the cage and moving all balls to one end
you can now reassemble the inner ring and 5 or 6 balls in the broken race if they move a small dob of grease helps
you can now drift out the damaged bearing or use the removal tool
once out remove the inner and balls and store for next time
you have made a useful tool so the bearing can be used over and over again
hope this helps it got me out of some scrapes and allowed me to do jobs the competition cant

Re: Baffled by Hotpoint WMA10
had a wma machine with a weird fault that turned out to be two wired incorrectly replaced by a previous engineer
there are two seperate wires in a connector next to the on off switch one of which has a plastic cover on the term the one with the cover goes on the right when veiwed from the front
