Homeliness, Do it yourself
Is replacement of bearings necessary in washing machines?
Any bearings have a sufficiently long service life. But in washing machines under the influence of corrosion they deteriorate. Corrosion often occurs as a result of leakage of the shaft of the stuffing box, which wears out after 6-8 years of operation and begins to leak.
Replacement of bearings in washing machines is considered one of the most difficult types of repair work. It is more reasonable to entrust such a responsible event to a specialist, but if there is some experience and certain knowledge, it is possible to replace the bearing yourself.
Washing machines of different manufacturers have an individual device, therefore, bearing replacement looks different. Virtually on all models with a plastic tank you need to completely disassemble the machine and remove the tank from the frame together with the drum.
Replacement of the bearing on a washing machine with vertical loading is possible only at collection, and plastic tanks in such devices are not usually disassembled at all. In the washing machine of any manufacturer with a non-separable tank, the bearing can only be replaced if the tank is cut and replaced after replacement with a soldering station. But in order to produce this type of repair without damage, it is necessary to have certain skills. If there is no experience in the analysis of washing machines, then it is better to photograph or record all the wiring, what to what, so that when assembling everything falls into place and there are no questions about what to connect and where.
Compliance with these simple operating rules will help you significantly increase the time you use your equipment without unnecessary problems. Replacing bearings in washing machines can significantly reduce the cost of a full repair if necessary, because, as a rule, the breakdown will not be very serious. In addition, this will allow you not to remain without one of the main assistants in everyday life for more than two or three hours, which is important in our active life.
