In my country there are loads of new Indesits thrown after 2-3 years with dead bearings…

[@nathangrosvenor7664]

I would love to have one of these!

[@user-yn8kj4zf4i]

Thanks. now i know that i don't want to repair my washing machine. it has started to make terrible noise after 7 years.

[@arcfa2267]

Once I saw even worse than this, both shaft and bearing was ate up each other and drum was not turning at all, but luckily that was a metal tub washer so it was very easy to have a look at it

[@bootsowen]

Was it possible to fix it?

[@arcfa2267]

@@bootsowen yes but it has stağnless steel tub and the bearşng housing was a different part that is attached to the drum, bearinga were not in the drum, so it was a kot easier. After putting new bearings machine kerp making a little bit noise. I may uplod the before and after videos. You can also check out my channel.

[@MrAllydino]

We have one like this, failed after 5 years. I think the problem starts when the drum is filled above the bearing, the detergent washes the grease out and that leads to corrosion and a degeneration of the bearing.

[@Neilukuk]

The bearings are in a different place from the water.

[@MrGigi-dz9cv]

I just had a Electrolux failing after few washes with a new washing powder. It had about 7y of use.

[@andromagik]

The quality is humiliating. I am from Bulgaria and our mothers raised us with machines that are still working ... for almost 40 years !!! ??? !!!

[@tommyhanlon8012]

The worn ball bearing you showed, would perhaps indicate the machine was used for a long period of time after the failure began as the ball looked ground rather than fractured ? Hard to see as the parts are rusted. Maybe soak them in vinegar then we can study the failure.

[@bootsowen]

Hadn’t thought of the vinegar. The machine is already gone. I tend to smash and scrap the next day. Or in this case film and scrap! I suspect that this machine was in a rental house and just used to death!

[@tommyhanlon8012]

@@bootsowen we rightly complain about waste due to bad design & materials, & its ecological impact. Perhaps it should be studied & shown publicly to promote change by manufacturers & legislators ? A year's worth of effort by those who try, is negated by how many washing machines ?

[@casper3882]

Awesome another video I will enjoy this very good it's like his videos are to good

[@bootsowen]

Thanks

[@thetruthwillsetyoufree7912]

We had that bubbling on our newly delivered washing machine 😢

[@annab.8354]

Can you change bearings in it at all? How would you seal everything back again?

[@robertocalledecresta2312]

I've got the same machine with the same problem which is the same age. Makes a racket when it's spinning but still manages it. You can tell its on the way to copping out though. This along with the sealed drum suggests to me that the bearings are not built to last but they are built to break after a certain amount of time. They call it intrinsic obsolescence. If things didn't break then you wouldn't get the chance to sell more... As usual it's all about the money honey. As for your question it got louder and louder and louder and then bang... I'm about half way through the getting louder bit!!! ;)

[@Boschwhirlpoollad1996]

The indesit innex range are absolutely rubbish wrost indesit that have been sold in my opinion

[@TomTheXboxSeriesX]

I agree the innex is crap

[@bootsowen]

Any reason other than bearings?

[@Boschwhirlpoollad1996]

@@bootsowen yes poor wash performance spin and rinse performance is quite rubbish but only on the innex models any other models are.very good

[@danandlaundry]

Actually no there’s one that is worse

[@danandlaundry]

The moon

[@LittleRichard1988]

Indesit used to be good even in the late 90s, what happened? My paternal gran had an Indesit washing machine that only lasted 7 years then it was replaced with a Hotpoint Ultima which is basically an Indesit as Hotpoint are owned by Indesit. The Ultima is just over 7 years old and as far as I know it's still working surprisingly but I don't go there very often. Maybe I shouldn't speak too soon!

[@marcse7en]

You can tell it's a universal motor, because you can see the rotor windings.

[@oojimmyflip]

Ive just replaced a 5 year old zanussi with the same problem, I think they are using the same bearings suppliers without any lube in the bearings. Whirlpool now own Hoover and Indesit, dont know if that will change anything.

[@MasterOfWash]

Manufactured, if I read the serial number correctly, in 2014.

[@bootsowen]

Thanks. Not that old!

[@MasterOfWash]

@@bootsowen Indeed. But, Indesit...

[@Motherboard686]

It still lasted longer than 70% of the other Indesit machines, considering most of them would die in 1-2 years because of bearing/spider failure as well as electronics.

[@mielekid.w1613]

This is 2 years younger than my wmf

[@PureHairdressing-k7w]

Could it be that some one has used a brick rather than just doing their cloths???

[@yodaco]

Id say it was ran for a good while with that dead bearing.

[@mielekid.w1613]

Wow those bearings are horrid. My expirence was somewhere around that bad tbh

[@hermanmunster3358]

Its fooked! They ain't called indeshit for nothing.

[@Petertronic]

My Indesit is only 2 yrs old and the bearings sound extremely rough

[@Adoraswiss]

Maybe this machine is yonger than a 2014 model, because 2014 is the fabrication date of the Pressure switch....but anyway its a big shame to produce such a crap !! in my opinion the governements must prepare a rule for the producers, to be obliged a minimum life expectancy for a washer, dryer, fridge etc... against resource wasting and electric scrap !!!!

[@danandlaundry]

The bearings are are even worse then my old Indesit

[@CallmenobodWMAO743]

That looks like it’s from 4th of December,2014

[@yodaco]

its very common model here, say 5+ years old or so usually

[@laundrylad2006]

How did you manage to get the drum out?

[@bootsowen]

I will post a video of it soon.

[@stephenofori6362]

Please can you tell me the number sizes of the tow bearings

[@thetruthwillsetyoufree7912]

Please. Which washing machine do you recommend which is better made and easier for repairs ?

[@bootsowen]

Old bosch, solid and good for repairs, wff 1800, Wfp 3300. something like that. OLD

[@thatgallagherkid3390]

Pro tip spray some WD-40 for a temporary fix to free it up

[@bootsowen]

Did you watch the video?

That we're Always this cheap washing mashines, the dont wash 10 years

[@ralfsvin]

Do you know what could have happend if its not spinnig like this one in the start bet the washing machine is like 9months old only and bearings from outside looking very new witjaut anything suspicios. Do you have some suggestions?

[@bootsowen]

So young? Warranty issue.

[@ralfsvin]

@@bootsowen I took it fully apart and there was stuck screw between the metal and plastic it was like very stuck. It was a very long thing to do but did it👍

[@TomTheXboxSeriesX]

The indesit innex range is completely crap because of merloni probably and the innex range never sold that well like with the MyTime range

[@bootsowen]

It must be. I have not seen bearings as bad as this on a newish machine.
