Re: Indesit IDCL85BH front drum bearing pads

With the sides off I have found that the noise is coming from the plastic bearing pads – a quick burst of silicone lubricant on the left hand one sorted out the noise. I believe the correct lubricant for this area of the tumble dryer is high melting point (120 degrees C) white lithium grease. Is this correct?

Thanks a lot, I will have a look at the jockey pulley when I get a chance.

There is no play in the teardrop bearing and it all looks pretty clean. The machine was made in August 2014 and is included in the recall. I understand that it could be months before Indesit call to do the modifications required.

Hi iadom,
Thanks very much for the advice. I understand that the machine was overloaded and now makes a strange noise which gets worse the heavier the load is.
