Re: Candy Alise 105 Drum Bearing Maintenance…

OK, I gave up on ball bearings… But thanks a lot for all the replies…

But, as it seems the drum rotation problem was because of a cracked solder point on the timer. I have fixed it and now things work more smoothly.

I have one question though. This machine was left over here from the previous owner of the house and I dont know if it was ever turning the drum on both directions. Now it seems like it only turns one direction. Is this normal?

Another question would be if it is possible to find a document where it explains the speed control pcb connectors and its meanings. There is this board which has model number RV20 and I was just thinking that if I know where to tap in with a multimeter I might get more information about if it is actually working good or not.

Thanks,
Evren

Re: Candy Alise 105 Drum Bearing Maintenance…

Thanks, I will take your advice and wait patiently until the bearings expire 🙂 lets hope it wont be so soon…

By the way, do you have carbon brushes for this type machine? how much do they cost? how can I pay? and is it even possible to send them to finland? 🙂 When is it a good time to change them? I realized one of them had a little bit less than 1cm left… I wonder how long would it last?

Another question is about my recent experience with this machine. I just put the program on and it didnt turn the drum at all for half an hour. Next day the machine was working as it was working before. Turning the drum every few minutes. I wonder what might be the problem? (although I asked for the brushes, they probably cant be the problem since the centrifuge was working fine)

Thanks for the advices 🙂

Re: Candy Alise 105 Drum Bearing Maintenance…

I thought the bearings should be visible when I remove the part on the back where the belt is going around (what is it called?) Is there any chance that there could even be a little opening to squeze in some oil into the bearings? or it would be waste of time to try to remove it to see what is under?

What could happen worst if I remove that nut behind the part where the belt is going around to see what is under it? Would it be very difficult to screw it back? I have realized that the nut is quite tight in there. It didnt move at all when I tried to loosen it. But again, I can always use more force next time.

I am not willing to remove the whole drum in any case but I thought a slight lubrication might make the noise go away and lengthen the washing machine’s life.

Thanks,
Evren
