Hello and thank you for attend me. Look, it originally lasted 8 years, there a technician of the brand changed the bearings but only lasted 2 years. Again we asked for repair and they changed it again, that's how they are three times. My question is: why don't they last longer? They are expensive repairs and we run out of machine for a week. Please some clarification. Thank you.

they can be many, but the most important, excessive load of clothes, others:, rudders or portarulemans were changed and not the axis of the drum, cheap bearings, seals etc.

Hello gallorojocapacitor, if you're right those are obvious. I would like to explain myself better, if a good job was done with 6203 bearings, good quality, new seal, everything well armed without blows, and checking the good condition of the shaft, I ask how long can it last? as a general rule this model went bad or is something else happening? My lady already knows from the first change that she should not wear sneakers or much clothes, but it catches my attention that three changes made by official technicians lasted only 2 years. I really want to fix it now that I have more time. (I retired)

Hello, many rowers and service use non-original shafts, seals and bearings of doubtful quality and also the retainer has a special grease and not all put it, this makes a repair last as little, greetings.

Another thing to control is the level of water inside the tank, it should never reach half the drum, the normal level is just passing the bottom of the hatch.

Hi, I'm starting to take it apart to control everything they are explaining to me. I plan to buy the 6203 SKF 2rs bearings plus a good seal and if I get that special grease too, for the level of water inside the tank, is there any regulation? which? and should fill as well as say about 2 centimeters inside the drum, nothing more ?. Thank you.

For the water level, the pressure switch that is already regulated is changed, it is not advisable to touch its regulation, greetings.

Hello, I tell you that I already made the disarmament and I found the first bearing (drum side) all rusty and with a lot of play since water passed. The retainer nails against the bucket but has play inside that is against the shaft and it is because the bronze bushing is scratched. I ask if you change only that hub or advise me to change the whole axis? What do they say, I buy bearings and seals on one side and the shaft in a house of rep. Whirlpool?

The bushing is part of the shaft, then the entire shaft is changed, it is not necessary to go to the official service, in any house of white line spare parts they should have since it is the same one that uses the Drean 166 and similar, greetings
