Re: Indesit XWA81682XWUK Drum Bearing
Thanks Dave, that was really helpful. I hadn’t thought to check out what warranty might be available. Our machine is covered for 5yrs parts only, fixed charge of £120 for labour. Even better, we were still eligible to buy extended parts & labour warranty at £60pa. I decided to buy the parts & labour cover, because I suspect the drum will need replacing within 12 months.
One final question – how long should I leave it before requesting repair? The spin is definitely noisier and the bearing has an audible rumble, but the machine is still “working” – some people might not have even noticed it. Should I wait until there’s some more obvious symptoms, or will a service engineer immediately recognise the required work?
