Hotpoint Washing Machine Drum Bearing Kit

The bearings and seal that let the drum spin smoothly on its shaft while keeping water away from the bearings.

Signs it has failed

• A loud rumbling or roaring noise that rises with spin speed
• The drum has side-to-side play when you hold it and push
• Rust-coloured streaks or water leaking from behind the drum
• A heavy, grinding feel when you turn the empty drum by hand

Check before you buy

• With the machine unplugged, grip the drum and try to lift and wobble it: noticeable play points to the bearings
• Spin the drum by hand and listen for a rough rolling sound
• Check whether the tub is bolted (can be split and the bearings changed) or sealed (needs a new tub)

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your washing machine and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the machine, turn off the water and remove the top, back and front panels as the model requires
2. Remove the drum pulley, motor, hoses and the counterweights as needed to free the tub
3. Split the tub, press out the old bearings and seal using a drift and a press or suitable tools
4. Fit the new bearings and seal, rebuild the tub and reassemble with new sealant where supplied
5. Run a test wash and check for noise and leaks

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Kits are specific to the tub design. Match the bearing numbers printed on the old bearings, and confirm the tub can be split before buying.
