these machines are workhorses, fixable, reliable, hot & cold fill, million times better than modern junk
After watching this for 3 minutes, I said heck no, went to Home Depot, bought a new one, and saved myself a ton of headaches, trust me on this.
Will you buy it with your own cash or on credit?
If only every washing machine were designed like this, It would be way easier to replace the bearings.
Your videos are extremely helpful and clear.
I've fixed my Mother's washing machine thanks to your advice.
Thanks, Boots.
Nice job dude, thanks so much for the vid. I just changed the four support springs and 2 pistons on my 20 year old Miele that cost me £900 back then. Look forward to when the bearing goes🙀
Nice job, i like how easy that was
Thanks a lot brother
Great job! excellent work!
why they changed machines into what they are now is stupid! so much easier back then
Very nice i have a bosch wfk 7330
My Daewoo washer bearings have gone… is it much more difficult on direct drive washers?
Tomorrow i will repeat watched in this video.
6:15 to 6:20😊😊. You might be thinking what did I just do, the noise is still there
Should have changed both bearings and seals - better to do them all together - saves having to take it apart again sooner than later.
Just about to do my Siemens (Posh Bosch).
Thanks, the video illustrates the process, which is the same, whether you change the bearings and seals or not!
I have a gorenje machine and the bearings have been replaced and the spider is brand new, and yet there is still play in the drum, how could that be?
Belle vidéo.
Pourquoi ne changer que 1 des roulements ?
Nice video.
Why change only one of the two ball bearings ?
Only one was bad
It would be cool if there was a database of new machines with split drums that the bearings could be changed in them. I’ve a hotpoint Aquarius 11kg and I’m nearly sure it’s a sealed drum so when the bearings go, that’s it. I’m trying to avoid that in the future
Great idea
Wonder where could we begin? Annoy the EU for right to repair?
Many thanks for the very helpful video. In my case the spider was rotton and in pieces. Spares seem to be unobtainium, can anyone help with finding a spider?
Good luck! Usually you have to buy the tub drum etc as an assembly!, try the online spares websites, they all seem to have the same inventory!
I saw one of your earlier videos where you completely dismantle the washer !! amazing.. I do have a quick question. If I cannot thread in the foot for the washer ( 800 series) because the bootm panel is bent, is there a good fix for it> replace the bottom panel?
why wont it go in? why does it matter?
@@bootsowen Not sure ... thinking of lying it side by side and see what the issue is. SO far trying to thread it through a feel. Is the vibration problem typical for Bosch ( this is our first one)... it is a 800 series washer and supposed to be quiet ... but vibration and moving is quite a bit!
Very useful vid Mr.B. Seems that model may be designed to be repaired ?
Definitely! Easy peasy!
👍👍👍👍
So if there is that type you have, then it's easy. Think my whirlpool (Bauknecht WAE 9424) has that type.
great video you make look easy at5.21on the timeline . that small bottle of glue, whats it purpose is it grease or glue why do we need it , not very techey , so sorry if its a daft question many thanks
It is threadlocker, I don't usually use it, but I had some so I thought why not!
Respect! Same issue here i think. But i cannot do this meselfe.
Why not?
If that's "easier than you think," I wouldn't like to see it, if it was difficult! 🤣
When it’s difficult you have to take out the really big hammer.
@@bootsowen Good answer! 👍🤣
back in those days they made exellent apliances, now its all plastic and electronics that breaks down all the time.
also that sound is the motor bearrings not the drum bearrings.
Sorry what is the stuff you put on the bolt at the end.. in red bottle.. looked like superglue?
Thread locker. Glue
@@bootsowen thank you
My washing machine have this problem, where can i find someone to fix it?
Lolz
Is this doable on a bosch logic 7
Maybe. It depends on whether the tub is welded up or has screws. If you take the top off your machine then you can check
Good, but the problem are the dry motor bearings. Easy on this one to chance
Did it too. Video uploaded last night
relic from a bygone era, before they optimized for "easy" replacement.
Btw, the washing machine is Made in Germany?
Was it?
Does the washing machine has a label where it says where it was made?
Omg that spider. Its huge. No wonder why older machines were sturdier.
You couldn't even see the spider, how do you know?
The old washing machines last the best out now the new ones don't last long
My Zanussi has just started to make the same noise 😢 worried it'll mean an expensive repair or replacement 😬
Just done the bearings on a zanussi. £30 or less for parts
@@bootsowen thankfully I watched the entire video and came across the first 2CM of a bra underwire poking through the hole of the drum!!! 🤣 Thank you for the advice to check for perforations.
Well Gordon you’d better be more careful with your bras in future
Motor bearings sounds bad but anyway, nice machine
They are, I did them yesterday too, another video on the way!
Why are the bearings with the metal shield not rubber. Its like they are made to get water in them and then break
The water sealing is done by the water seal. between the water and the bearings
Shouldn't you be using a rubber malett?
No
Watching this cuz ours went. Repair costs 75 plus vat, parts cost 75 plus vat, new machine on offer for 237. Please don't metion this to operation green peace and tree huggers!
bearings are definitely bad on that motor
They are, I did them yesterday too, another video on the way!
MOTORBEARINGS!!!......
Who designed washing machines and put the bearing in the most diff place . Honestly having to remove everything to get to it is frustrating and time consuming. They should never of changed the design . 😢
What was the design before?
