these machines are workhorses, fixable, reliable, hot & cold fill, million times better than modern junk

@ep8029 2 месяца назад

Your videos are extremely helpful and clear. I've fixed my Mother's washing machine thanks to your advice. Thanks, Boots.

@Cameron-ue7lu Месяц назад

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🙀

@MrRafa1919 Год назад

If only every washing machine were designed like this, It would be way easier to replace the bearings.

Nice job, i like how easy that was

Great job! excellent work! why they changed machines into what they are now is stupid! so much easier back then

6:15 to 6:20😊😊. You might be thinking what did I just do, the noise is still there

@wellanhouse Год назад

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?

@bootsowen Год назад

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!

@NormanGnome11 4 дня назад

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).

@bootsowen 2 дня назад

Thanks, the video illustrates the process, which is the same, whether you change the bearings and seals or not!

@protienslv Год назад

Tomorrow i will repeat watched in this video.

@randomirishthings1115 Год назад

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

@bootsowen Год назад

Great idea

@randomirishthings1115 Год назад

Wonder where could we begin? Annoy the EU for right to repair?

@thedeepone1531 Год назад

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?

@t008mx Год назад

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

@bootsowen Год назад

It is threadlocker, I don't usually use it, but I had some so I thought why not!

@nageshvk10 Год назад

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?

@bootsowen Год назад

why wont it go in? why does it matter?

@nageshvk10 Год назад

@@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!

@scricri40 11 месяцев назад

Belle vidéo. Pourquoi ne changer que 1 des roulements ? Nice video. Why change only one of the two ball bearings ?

@bootsowen 11 месяцев назад

Only one was bad

@tommyhanlon8012 Год назад

Very useful vid Mr.B. Seems that model may be designed to be repaired ?

@bootsowen Год назад

Definitely! Easy peasy!

@Bloem777 2 месяца назад

Respect! Same issue here i think. But i cannot do this meselfe.

@bootsowen 2 месяца назад

Why not?

@michael-7240 Год назад

So if there is that type you have, then it's easy. Think my whirlpool (Bauknecht WAE 9424) has that type.

@JPdudey 3 месяца назад

Thread locker. Glue

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.

@sammygirlie345 10 месяцев назад

Is this doable on a bosch logic 7

@bootsowen 10 месяцев назад

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

@thatvoiddude6188 Год назад

Omg that spider. Its huge. No wonder why older machines were sturdier.

@SCF74 Год назад

You couldn't even see the spider, how do you know?

@anderstekniugle1878 3 месяца назад

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.

@MrJetta985 Год назад

Good, but the problem are the dry motor bearings. Easy on this one to chance

@bootsowen Год назад

Did it too. Video uploaded last night

@stefanb528 Год назад

relic from a bygone era, before they optimized for "easy" replacement. Btw, the washing machine is Made in Germany?

@bootsowen Год назад

Was it?

@stefanb528 Год назад

Does the washing machine has a label where it says where it was made?

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.

Motor bearings sounds bad but anyway, nice machine

They are, I did them yesterday too, another video on the way!

@1marcelfilms Год назад

Why are the bearings with the metal shield not rubber. Its like they are made to get water in them and then break

@bootsowen Год назад

The water sealing is done by the water seal. between the water and the bearings

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!

@thetruthwillsetyoufree7912 Год назад

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?
