Re: What are the best quality bearings and where do you buy

Mike.Most seals use water as their lubricant (unlees they are greased). Better to let any water that does get past the seal to escape than damage the bearing.

I think the poised question should be: what are the best quality bearing seals and where do you buy?Spot on this is where the problems is , the seals. I had no confidence in replacing bearings on some machines because of the seals, Hotpoint ended up changing the drums 4 times on theb WMA series. IMO it is stupid to offer to repair mark 1,2 or 3 drums, even fitting the later drum assy. is a tad risky of a call back under gtee.
Anyway the sealed drum assy which ALL the manufacturers are now starting to fit will cut bearing changes down to zilch. 😥Re: Softy southerner winging about snow

Re: Electrical fault on Bosch SGV4313GB/13 dishwasher
Probably a supply fault or the suppressor. Remember this is MAINS voltage and is unsafe if you are not competent, call an engineer if you are not
Re: aeg oven
Is the cooling fan working? if I remember right it is controlled by a stat and cuts in when the temp rises, again if I remember right @ 45degs.

I had to read this twice I thought it was April 1st 😆Re: Hotpoint WML520p
Hi Geoff
Have you tried it with a few towels in? When they spin they throw water around the drum.

I put the model no FF200e into Connects website and it comes up with a different de-frost heater to the ones Jonnyj describes bin no. 5045174348812
Of the two that Johnyj describes only C00259476 comes up but doesn’t list it for the FF200
