Servis 6033 Quartz Bearings

[mef13]

Hello there,

I have a Servis 6033 washing machine which needs replacement bearings. I've had a look, and it seems that the drum needs to be lifted out from the top of the machine, is that correct?

I have a bearings set, but presumably will need a new drum seal and door seal to complete the job.

Any advice will be gratefully received!

Many thanks

If it's as old as I suspect it maybe isn't worth repairing. All the parts are obsolete on the main spares site I checked.

I managed to source a set of bearings. It's 23 years old!

I've kept the motor good with brush changes, don't know if this a repair that's beyond me...

23 years is very impressive. Personally I think it's asking too much to expect it to last longer. At that age you may well find things are seized up or other things worn or rusted if you strip it down. If it has a metal tub, the tub could be very badly rusted inside, the drum shaft may be damaged. If it has those tapered roller bearings they usually damage the drum shaft if the main front one collapses. It's a big job at the best of times but on a 23 year old machine where most parts are obsolete it's a bit risky.

It still works, but the bearings are clearly on the way out. Plastic tub.

I'm feeling less and less like attempting this, I might do it for fun over Christmas!

Hi mef 13,

Can you tell me how to find bearings for my 25 years old Servis model 3305

Thanks ,George

Hi there,

I found my bearing set on easy spares.co.uk. A quick look implies they don't have anything for the 3305. I still have the Quartz bearing set I bought: I decided not to bother trying the repair and bought a new washer. If I can turn them up and they would fit you're welcome to them.

Best regards
