Problem for Zanussi IZ161S Front Load Washer

Bearing noise




By oaks on Oct 09, 2006

" "
I had major bearing noise on my zanussi washing machine, managed to source bearing/seal set from local supplier. got back off machine, removed pulley for belt. Not sure now whether to remove drum assembly completely or to split outer drum all way around middle and remove back half to get access to bearings etc. Any one got any suggestions which would be really appreciatted.

thanks.

Hi there im the wash docotor.
With your zanussis once you have removed the back half of the pannel and the top pannel. you will have to then detach the motor wire plug. then the heater wires and also the there is a sensoer on the side of the drum that also has a wiring connection. Also detactch the earth wires Then here come the tricky part. if you look on the top of the drum you have a rubber pipe connected to it comming from the washer draw detach that its easy. Then you have to dicconect the door seal from the front of the machine by the door (do not dissconect from the seal from the drum as you dont have to . Then disconnect the the drain hose. once this is all done you have to disconnect the legs, from the drum side. these are easily done as the pegs come out easily if you push in the pips from one side you can either knock them out with a hammer but it is best to pull em out with either some long bent nose pliers or gripping em in such a way with a monkey ranch
Best way og getting the drum out is once you have done all that is to turn the machine onto its back and lifting the casing off leaving the drum on the floor.
