Noisy washing machine? Drum ball bearing full replacement process: easier than you think! DIY Method

[@djdrunkenmonkey2]

these machines are workhorses, fixable, reliable, hot & cold fill, million times better than modern junk

[@johnbajo7825]

Kenwood have a bearring covered with soft plastic shich let moisture to get in to bearing than is go rusty and die I replace the bearring once arriwe

[@MrRafa1919]

If only every washing machine were designed like this, It would be way easier to replace the bearings.

[@ep8029]

Your videos are extremely helpful and clear. I've fixed my Mother's washing machine thanks to your advice. Thanks, Boots.

[@Cameron-ue7lu]

Nice job dude, thanks so much for the vid. I just changed the four support springs and 2 pistons on my 20 year old Miele that cost me £900 back then. Look forward to when the bearing goes🙀

[@benthebossjackson4388]

Great job! excellent work! why they changed machines into what they are now is stupid! so much easier back then

[@diyshankar]

6:15 to 6:20😊😊. You might be thinking what did I just do, the noise is still there

[@scricri40]

Belle vidéo. Pourquoi ne changer que 1 des roulements ? Nice video. Why change only one of the two ball bearings ?

[@bootsowen]

Only one was bad

[@kam_mil]

Nice job, i like how easy that was

[@NormanGnome11]

Should have changed both bearings and seals - better to do them all together - saves having to take it apart again sooner than later. Just about to do my Siemens (Posh Bosch).

[@bootsowen]

Thanks, the video illustrates the process, which is the same, whether you change the bearings and seals or not!

[@marcse7en]

If that's "easier than you think," I wouldn't like to see it, if it was difficult! 🤣

[@bootsowen]

When it’s difficult you have to take out the really big hammer.

[@marcse7en]

@@bootsowen Good answer! 👍🤣

[@randomirishthings1115]

It would be cool if there was a database of new machines with split drums that the bearings could be changed in them. I’ve a hotpoint Aquarius 11kg and I’m nearly sure it’s a sealed drum so when the bearings go, that’s it. I’m trying to avoid that in the future

[@bootsowen]

Great idea

[@randomirishthings1115]

Wonder where could we begin? Annoy the EU for right to repair?

[@kgosietsilemokoka8323]

Thanks a lot brother

[@nageshvk10]

I saw one of your earlier videos where you completely dismantle the washer !! amazing.. I do have a quick question. If I cannot thread in the foot for the washer ( 800 series) because the bootm panel is bent, is there a good fix for it> replace the bottom panel?

[@bootsowen]

why wont it go in? why does it matter?

[@nageshvk10]

@@bootsowen Not sure ... thinking of lying it side by side and see what the issue is. SO far trying to thread it through a feel. Is the vibration problem typical for Bosch ( this is our first one)... it is a 800 series washer and supposed to be quiet ... but vibration and moving is quite a bit!

[@tommyhanlon8012]

Very useful vid Mr.B. Seems that model may be designed to be repaired ?

[@bootsowen]

Definitely! Easy peasy!

[@wellanhouse]

Many thanks for the very helpful video. In my case the spider was rotton and in pieces. Spares seem to be unobtainium, can anyone help with finding a spider?

[@bootsowen]

Good luck! Usually you have to buy the tub drum etc as an assembly!, try the online spares websites, they all seem to have the same inventory!

[@Bloem777]

Respect! Same issue here i think. But i cannot do this meselfe.

[@bootsowen]

Why not?

[@protienslv]

Tomorrow i will repeat watched in this video.

[@Majstersztyk12]

Very nice i have a bosch wfk 7330

[@thedeepone1531]

I have a gorenje machine and the bearings have been replaced and the spider is brand new, and yet there is still play in the drum, how could that be?

[@jamesdep8128]

After watching this for 3 minutes, I said heck no, went to Home Depot, bought a new one, and saved myself a ton of headaches, trust me on this.

[@bootsowen]

Will you buy it with your own cash or on credit?

[@durangosrt8]

Lol

[@michael-7240]

So if there is that type you have, then it's easy. Think my whirlpool (Bauknecht WAE 9424) has that type.

[@JPdudey]

Sorry what is the stuff you put on the bolt at the end.. in red bottle.. looked like superglue?

[@bootsowen]

Thread locker. Glue

[@JPdudey]

@@bootsowen thank you

[@t008mx]

great video you make look easy at5.21on the timeline . that small bottle of glue, whats it purpose is it grease or glue why do we need it , not very techey , so sorry if its a daft question many thanks

[@bootsowen]

It is threadlocker, I don't usually use it, but I had some so I thought why not!

[@Teknowash-dk]

back in those days they made exellent apliances, now its all plastic and electronics that breaks down all the time. also that sound is the motor bearrings not the drum bearrings.

[@iheggis86]

My Daewoo washer bearings have gone… is it much more difficult on direct drive washers?

[@bootsowen]

It’s about the same. It’s just the motor is mounted differently. If direct driver machines have bearings that are too loose the motor can cut through the tub and make it leak. Worth checking that that hasn’t happened first.

[@desidesigning]

Watching this cuz ours went. Repair costs 75 plus vat, parts cost 75 plus vat, new machine on offer for 237. Please don't metion this to operation green peace and tree huggers!

[@gordonlynch3217]

My Zanussi has just started to make the same noise 😢 worried it'll mean an expensive repair or replacement 😬

[@bootsowen]

Just done the bearings on a zanussi. £30 or less for parts

[@gordonlynch3217]

@@bootsowen thankfully I watched the entire video and came across the first 2CM of a bra underwire poking through the hole of the drum!!! 🤣 Thank you for the advice to check for perforations.

[@bootsowen]

Well Gordon you’d better be more careful with your bras in future

[@stefanb528]

relic from a bygone era, before they optimized for "easy" replacement. Btw, the washing machine is Made in Germany?

[@bootsowen]

Was it?

[@stefanb528]

Does the washing machine has a label where it says where it was made?

[@SSB85]

My washing machine have this problem, where can i find someone to fix it?

[@bootsowen]

Lolz

[@thatvoiddude6188]

Omg that spider. Its huge. No wonder why older machines were sturdier.

[@AQD1071]

You couldn't even see the spider, how do you know?

[@MrJetta985]

Good, but the problem are the dry motor bearings. Easy on this one to chance

[@bootsowen]

Did it too. Video uploaded last night

[@sammygirlie345]

Is this doable on a bosch logic 7

[@bootsowen]

Maybe. It depends on whether the tub is welded up or has screws. If you take the top off your machine then you can check

[@danielhanley-thurkettle8904]

The old washing machines last the best out now the new ones don't last long

[@saraswatkin9226]

Shouldn't you be using a rubber malett?

[@bootsowen]

No

[@namename1]

This good show 1 with No bearing Ditect drive LG

[@1marcelfilms]

Why are the bearings with the metal shield not rubber. Its like they are made to get water in them and then break

[@bootsowen]

The water sealing is done by the water seal. between the water and the bearings

[@Jacobbrammar12]

👍👍👍👍

[@washingmachinelad356]

Motor bearings sounds bad but anyway, nice machine

[@bootsowen]

They are, I did them yesterday too, another video on the way!

[@technojunky]

Big mistake to re-use the lipseal

[@bootsowen]

Cheap maybe, but the worst that can happen is the bearings go again?

[@thelaundrycookie1200]

bearings are definitely bad on that motor

[@bootsowen]

They are, I did them yesterday too, another video on the way!

[@cool62736]

MOTORBEARINGS!!!......

[@thetruthwillsetyoufree7912]

Who designed washing machines and put the bearing in the most diff place . Honestly having to remove everything to get to it is frustrating and time consuming. They should never of changed the design . 😢

[@bootsowen]

What was the design before?
