@@djdrunkenmonkey2indeed. My grandma has a John Lewis Electrolux washing machine that's about 14 years old now and the bearings have completely killed themselves and its a whole new tub. I've seen videos of people cutting the drums in half and replacing them, it would be cool to try. When done properly I believe it can work but it would come down to how confident you would feel using it as long as it doesn't leak.
Hi.. I've just carried out my first replacement of bearings to a Zanussi washing machine, thank you. worked a dream, and lots of Brownie points from my wife 😂😂😂
Now these bearings were brutally murdered, holy shit. 🤣Well done, these machines are pretty good and repairable! So absolutely worth it. What helps me to pull the drum shaft through the new bearings is to put on the pulley and tighten the screw, this pulls the drum in quite easily. Might have to loosen the screw a bit and re-position the pulley though. Also, the machines with the recirculation pump don't have a ball in the sump hose.
Well it all comes down to a throwaway society really. If you have a couple hours here and there you can easily do this job, it's for everyone but if your handy with tools and like to fix not replace then a task like this is definitely worth it.
from someone that used to fix machines as my main job, well done!! newer zanussis have a sealed drum so are scrap if the bearings go
Cheers buddy. It is hardly worth it, but it was a mates machine!
@@bootsowen these machines are fixable, & much better than zanussi current range is

Sealed tubs are an environmental disaster and such a waste. Surprised to see this Zanussi had a splittable drum.
@@WSHLNd120If you use enough bolts and nuts and use a proper sealant it won't leak. It's a common practice in Eastern Europe

My mum used to own one of these but she gave it to scrap because It was leaking, Well done on the repair! your videos make my day 👍
I have this machine and it’s just started to make a rumbling noise that wasn’t there before. Going to give it a go! Thanks so much.
When you knock the drum out of the tank, tighten the pulley bolt so as not to damage the end of the crosspiece
One of my favourite machines. I believe it’s 12-13 years old
Sounds about right!
Copper prices are good, cash in while you can. Great video as always

Hi Owen I like your washing machines
Brilliant video, thanks very much
I've got a Zanussi ZWD 14270W1 does this video work for this model too if I want to change the bearing?
They’re all similar
After i had this much trouble with my wma i definitely wont bother again i see why people just get a new one these days 😂

Why didn't you clean it inside?
Beyond my remit.
Can you make a video of you cleaning it?😊❤❤
I have this same machine but mine is branded Rosenlew
After watching this nightmare, sealed tubs no longer bother me.
