Had the machine out today (check motor bearings, remove drive pulley to look at back bearing). I repair most things myself so I’m thinking of buying a replacement drum/tub and swapping it over myself.

Hi Dave

Yep motor bearings are fine.

Hi Dave

Agree regarding the retail/their cost price. Regarding the motor, I replaced the brushes about a month ago and the bearings seem fine but that was without load so I’m going to do your belt off test now.

Hi
They cover repairs up to £500 (parts and labour) but in their T & C’s they state that the repair engineer can deem the m/c beyond economical repair in which case they refund the £149 minus £80 callout (but they’ll give you a discount on a new m/c surprise surprise). So if it’s a 11 year old m/c and the part costs £175 I guess the engineer will deem it U/S and it’ll cost me £80?

Not sure which way to go with this one?

Thanks all. Should have mentioned it’s intergrated I need.
Still umming and ahring as to buying a new drum and fitting it myself (£160).
