how can open the door on this model
Hotpoint WMD642P.
Please will you advise
Behind the pulley wheel I can see a 30mm spindle and a 62mm – outside diameter – bearing race marked 6206Z.
1) What size do you estimate the bearing race to be nearest the drum ?
2) And therefore what bearings set should I buy?
3) Also what spider would you recommend should this become necessary?
Just asking for an educated guess, it doesn’t matter much if wrong. This will just save several wash-less postal days, I want to order in advance of disassembly
After i split the casing to replace the interior bearing race I will drill holes through the weld lip, glue and bolt back together, as per youtube videos on welded drums.
if its out of warrantee (and by that I mean 5/6 years old not 1 year+ as the bearing should not be going after such a short time and is a manufacturing fault not wear and tear!) then you can replace the bearings you have to disassemble the drum, and buy the bearings separately, the cost is a fraction of what the drum is (probably about Ā£5 or less). but its a bit labour intensive! its definitely not worth fixing/ replacing with the drum as this alone is Ā£150!
As above Herman has the right idea! you can replace with some SKF or brammer bearings..
