During a spin cycle at 1,000 rpm there was a thump and the noise level increased significantly. After removing the load, there was a smell of burning rubber and it was apparent the inner drum was not spinning concentrically to the outer drum – at one spot the gap goes from 10 mm to 18 mm and was rubbing on the seal causing the burning smell. I cannot detect any play or noise in the bearings. Cracked/broken spider perhaps? Bosch WAE24166GB washing machine is 14 years old.

Bosch WAE24167GB/85 washing machine big noise, then drum not moving.
Band intact but off. Continued program… motor good, drained etc as usual.

Hi paul, great video on bearing change. I have Bosch WAN28080GB/26 washing machine and also I’ve found the drum seal and bearing seal.
How do I buy the bearings please?
Thanks Barry

Bosch WAS28461GB/07 washing machine gave error during wash cycle, door locked, switching off then selecting any option, drain, spin, etc, immediately gives E:57 error again. Tried resetting to no avail. Google searching suggests possible PCB Inverter circuit fault. Is it worth trying to repair? I recently fitted a new drum/door seal which will be wasted if machine written off.
Thanks for any help offered.

Hi Paul – love your u-tube videos, but struggling to access your on-line shop – contacting you here in the off-chance that you are able to supply a replacement door lock for my Seimens WM14S392GB/08 washing machine – either that or please point me in the right direction to source one. Many thanks and kind regards, Phil
