Re: Indesit WIL163 drum removal

Many thanks to those who provided information. I’ll be looking for a new machine this weekend.

Cheers

The bearings are in the spider and the spider is on the outside rear of the drum on those machines if I remember right.

George – you are correct.

Once the spider is removed the inner drum is loose inside the tank, but I guess it is sealed in there and can’t be removed.

Yes, outer tank is thin metal. ‘Spider’ (where the bearings go) on the back of the tank is cast iron. If inner drum and outer tank are a single unit, I think I am going to be looking for a new machine as its 5 years old.
