Re: Bosch SGS43A42GB/01 – Very Noisy – Time to Change?

Thanks for the help, managed to get it sorted in the end.

The screw on the motor casing was well and truley rusted in, so i drilled the head off.
Then the bearing was stuck in the frame and rusted to the shaft..
Without the proper tools, it was a fairly long and annoying job but it’s running like a dream now!
Even if it’s only held together with 1 screw now.

Thanks again for the help!

Cheers, to be honest i was thinking similar to the screw head idea. Is it a nut in the hole on the other end, as i think thats where to problem is?
As for the torx bit, no it’s a new set.. well, bairly used anyway. It looks rusted in at the thread end. I think it’s rounded out as i’m straining away, holding the motor in one hand and driver in the other lol. Wobble.. Slip.. etc…

I’ll get there in the end lol

Re: Bosch SGS43A42GB/01 – Very Noisy – Time to Change?

Been working away and so only just got the parts today.

I’ve fitted the new impellor and seal kit but couldn’t find/get to the bearing.

The motor is held together with 2 screws but one won’t come out and now the torx head is starting to round out…
So i’m guessing the bearings inside there some where?

Any ideas?

Managed to take it apart, clean it up and put it back together correctly. So thats a start.

I think you were spot on Martin, about the noisey bearing. Might try and get one tomorrow, so i can use the washer over the weekend!

Thansk again!

Re: Bosch SGS43A42GB/01 – Very Noisy – Time to Change?

Hopefuly it will be easy!

Pressure is on when you’re paying the bills!

Also.. Showing me up now… Not got a bearing pulley! Not even sure what one is lol. I presume it’s some kind of extraction tool?

I’ll let you know how i get on, it’ll be a few days for parts… Unless you know a bood shopin the Manchester area?

Thanks again for the help!

I fix photocopiers and big printing machines for a job, sometimes i have to remind myself that i don’t always know everything about fixing everything! 😀

I’ll get those bits ordered up, can’t find a shop to go pick them up.

Found one kit thats £38 but it doesn’t show the big ring seal that is shown in other arround the £47-49 mark.

That other bearing you sugested, is that the one at the base of the motor shaft? Does it just pry off?

Cheers for this!

Re: Bosch SGS43A42GB/01 – Very Noisy – Time to Change?

Thanks again,

I’ve got the motor off, nice and easy like you said… just have to remember where all the spade conectors go lol.

It’s pretty gunged up inside, between the metal motor case and the plastics of the impeller.

Looks like a slow leak, rather than more sudden problem.

The motor shaft seems to turn ok, smooth and quiet, so i’m not sure what would have been making the noise now. Unless it’s the seal arround the shaft.

Tempted to plug the motor back in and run it whilst the things in pieces.

Any thoughts as to what else it could be? Or does this all sound about right for needing the seal kit?

Re: Bosch SGS43A42GB/01 – Very Noisy – Time to Change?

Ahhh cheers for that… i’ll avoid Beko lol.

I did fancy another Bosch as i know they’re good, especialy as this one lasted so long. Not cheap though lol.

I’m not afraid to take things apart so i’ll open it up and have a look!

The seal has never been changed and seems to be deformed now… plus i found a chunk in the drainage impellor!
It doesn’t usualy leak when running, just if you open it when full.

Is it easy to get the motor out? Is the impellor attached to it?
