Re: Indesit W161 drum bearing

Thanks penguin.

Do you know where I might find instructions somewhere on how to replace the bearings for this model?
I see from reading around that its quite an advanced job but what the heck. Im never going to learn if I dont try eh?

thanks again,

Re: Indesit W161 drum bearing

Hi folks,

Its been a few years since I looked in on this fab forum and since id forgotten my old username I had to create a new account.

Not sure if I should resurrect this thread or not but anyways…

I also have an indesit w161. Had been quite happy with it for 5 or 6 years up to now but a few months ago notices spins were noisier and when I turned the drum by hand it seemed slightly rough.

Anyways I went to it today and lo and behold the drum is stuck fast and the clothes inside were still fairly wet.

So I took the back off and found the belt lying on the floor inside.

I guess its a no brainer that the bearings have gone and it has siezed but would appreciate any advice to the contrary if im wrong 🙂

My main question is this…

I have seen reference on this thread to getting instructions on replacing the bearings in a “public area” Just really wanted to put the question out there as to which type of bearing Id need to buy to get the replacement done.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Paula
