Re: Bearing replacement – LG WM1290FHB

ok – have removed the back and pulley. rusty water has been leaking from the drum….looks like the bearings have forced a 5 mm hole through the plastic drum – its got shards of metal sticking out…doesn’t look healthy.

I am guessing these have 2 sets of bearings??? in which case the outer one looks intact but the inner one is well busted. I don’t plan on going any further…looks like a job for someone with the right tools…if its that damaged then not going to be easy to remove from the shaft or the drum…is it worth it?

The bearings themselves weren’t the problem on the hotpoint….getting to them was….I had to literally pull the whole machine to bits to take the drum out as no rear access so had to take the front off….the LG has rear access….which sounds far easier to me.
