Hotpoint Aristo Model WMG 823B EU.C. bearing replace

[jrj.fonseca]

Hello,

 

I have a Hotpoint Aristo Model WMG 823B EU.C. I would like to replace the bearings and seal that connect to the drum. However, is has been very difficult to find the dimensions of these two pieces. Could you help me ?

Hello there. Most washing machines now do not have spare parts for the drum bearings. The drum commonly comes complete bearings and seals fitted. Sometimes the outer drum will come in 2 halves, so to replace the bearings you have to strip the outer drum down, split it in half and replace the back half that contains the bearings and seals.

If the parts are available separately, you would find them on a washing machine spares site like Ransom Spares though this is a UK spares site. Alternatively you would have to try and contact the manufacturer. But sadly it is very difficult and often impossible to replace drum bearings on modern washing machines.

If you are just trying to source the bearings separately because you already know they are not available from the manufacturer then you would need a bearing company. It is possible to get bearings separately according to size but without replacement seals, especially the one that protects the drum bearings I would highly recommend against trying.
