Not to mention very expensive cosmetic parts such like the panel board as you can’t seem to replace the display board like with some well known make just the whole top including knobs, button and display board as one unit.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Thanks Steve,
The bearings sizes you gave, did not appear to be matching against the tub. The outer bearing is printed as 6207-2z, I presume this is a bigger size? So if the inner bearing is the next size up from the rear making it 6208?
The one you quoted was for 6205z and 6204z.
Some advice would be appreciated. I am not in a great hurry as I got the machine for free from a customer to enable me to have a play on it as I don’t often come across bearing changes and would welcome the chance to play.
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3156
Thanks Steve, just one more thing…
5031681665542 this is the part number of the bracket for this washing machine.
I found this on the floor when I removed the drum out of the machine. Could not work out where does it go, can anyone tell me where does this bracket go?
Re: Bearings for Hoover HNF 3157
The product number is 31000603 0516 9047
HNF3157 is the model, my error sorry.
On connect they have this: 5031681517667
But nothing else apart from tub seal – 5031684743490.
Re: Hoover Optima WMH147DS reset cycle
Turns out the pump works fine, suspected dodgy pressure switch. Replaced it and hoped for the best.
Re: White Knight 77AW condensing dryer
Turns out that it was the inlet thermostat. Don’t know how I missed it as I was sure I checked it, after all a second visit made it worthwhile.
Re: hotpoint BU72 oven
If you are good with working out ohms law with the element, you would get a fairly good picture of the state of the element. I found that out with the lux many months ago. Quick formula is 240volts divided by resistance and you get amps then multiply by 240volts then you get wattage. Compare against the stamped wattage and it should be close to it but if it is far off then you know the element is on its way out.
Re: White Knight 77AW condensing dryer
Ok thanks mate. The hot air fan is easy to remove so no worries there. Will let you know how I got on.
Re: PAYPAL CARD READER
I guess with PayPal with their 45 days protection thingy is no different with people using Mastercard or Visa as they can dispute it up to 6 years. More often with Visa or Mastercard, it is very difficult to get your money back as a customer as they want more evidence rather than a mere verbal disgruntling complaint.
I would it find it very worrying if PayPal is on the customer’s side regardless of the circumstances. Surely they must have some kind of diplomat that looks at both cases without any prejiuce?
Re: White Knight 77AW condensing dryer
I did not get to the pump, but I can say that the pump is working.
No I have not checked the exhaust stats. It’s condensing so would they have exhaust stats? If so, where would I find it and how to get there?
Re: PAYPAL CARD READER
I noticed that few months ago and it looks promising. Everyone are on eBay and they are likely to have PayPal.
Re: Electrolux EWF1074 drum not spinning
If you are mechanically minded person who can fix cars then replacing brushes is very easy. The holder comes in different shapes but they are the same. It is worth noting if you can get the parts first before attempting to do the work.
Re: Zanussi zwd1480w – how to remove the drum pulley
Job done! Glad to see the back of it!
Impact screw works very well. And I simply slided the tub out of the machine without having the machine on it front on the floor. So thanks guys for the advice, really appreciate it.
It was proving impossible to whack the drum out of the tub and in the end it got bent due to excessive brute force (don’t know if it was my fault or just dodgy drum shaft). I had to go out and purchase a new drum, really peeved. Wondering if it was poor metal fatigue. I admit in hindsight I could have used the pulley to bash the drum out which I didn’t do but still a lesson learnt! Would that be the correct way to do it to use the pulley to keep in place, unscrew a little then bash it then unscrew then bash and so on until it dropped off? Should I have done it differently? Looking back, I can’t see how would that work as there’s no room for the pulley to go inside, the screw itself would be pushing the drum out. Is there a specialist tool for it?
Sliding the tub back into the machine proved to be more of a challenge due to the uneven weight, solved it with a large block of wood underneath the drum to support it then hoist the spring onto the latch. It broke the bicycle cable I used to hoist it up and that was the heavy duty type!
All in all, it worked out well in the end despite the difficulties.
Re: Zanussi zwd1480w – how to remove the drum pulley
Thanks guys,
I found an impact screwdriver with the allen hex on it. Maybe this would be a good start once I split the tub providing nothing is wedged in.
Just a question, how long would it take me to do the whole job from start to finish? I rarely do bearings/tub changes, so I am kinda out of practice, I do know from Hotpoint washer, it took me a good 3 hours but this was a very simple hotpoint washer like I said, I rarely do it.
But this job tomorrow is the one is a crammed in full of Zanussi washer dryer with hardly any space to move.

Would this tool be strong enough to remove the nut from the pulley?
WRT to hammer and chisel, do I use a flat chisel and hammer to bash it against the nut? Do I do this while the tub in the machine or take the tub out and place it on the floor?
Just that I have not quite mastered Zanussi bearing change yet. All I am doing is the rear half tub change, I had hoped it would be very simple just like the usual Hotpoint rear half tub change. I have to remove all the bits that are crammed inside the machine first then make note of it before I can wield a hammer and chisel!
Will try do this without worrying the owner of the machine.
