As is typical with Christmas,the kitchen appliances have all started to give up the ghost and this year it was the turn of the tumble dryer. It was making a terrible sound and the drum wasn't moving. Well, I thought to myself, I put a new engine in the omega, rebuilt the suspension,how hard can it be?I ordered a bearing kit off of the bay of £15 and set to work. It came quickly and 2 hours later, the tumble dryer is not only working,its running smoother than ever. Job done!

Bit of a coincidence is that,as mine is also in peices at the moment in the kitchen with the same problem,just got to order the kit now.The drum on mine has actually worn a groove in the steel backplate. :-/

I was a bit luckier than you guys; my washing machine
started to sound like a helicopter and was trying to do
a tap dance around the kitchen.
Whipped the back off and had a ganders and found
that the large, bottom, balance weight bolts had
vibrated loose. Quick tighten with the socket set and
it's like a submarine on silent running again.

Had to have the welder out on the cooker just before Christmas

A local domestic appliance parts supplier advised that the failed bearing in my mates washing machine meant replacing the complete rear plate of the drum.
Price...£180.00

After checking on Tinternet we found that this was correct.

I stripped it down, removed the bearing and after matching it up, replaced it with a motorcycle front wheel bearing.
Price...£4.50 (and it's still working fine 5 years later.)

Aye, you can say that again.
The machine is in my mates house that has 5 bed-sits and they're usually all occupied, so it's used pretty much every day.
Can't remember for sure, but I think it's an Indesit.
