Introduction

This tutorial provides a detailed guide on how to replace the bearings and seal (manжета) in washing machines. If your washing machine is making unusual noises during washing or spinning, this could indicate worn bearings, especially if the appliance is over 5-7 years old. Performing this repair yourself can save significant costs, and you can source the necessary parts easily.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools and Materials

Before starting the repair, collect the following tools and parts:

• Tools:

  • Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
  • Wrench set
  • Pliers
  • Hammer
  • Sealant (if necessary)

• Parts:

  • New bearings
  • New seal (manжета)
  • Replacement parts based on model (check catalog or original samples)

Step 2: Disconnect the Washing Machine

1. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet to ensure safety.
2. Turn off the water supply to avoid leaks during the process.
3. Remove the hoses connected to the washing machine, placing towels underneath to catch any residual water.

Step 3: Access the Inner Components

1. Remove the back panel of the washing machine using the screwdriver.
2. Take out the drum:
   • Remove any screws or clips holding the drum in place.
   • Carefully slide the drum out to access the bearings and seal.

Step 4: Replace the Bearings

1. Locate the bearings on the drum and outer casing.
2. Remove the old bearings:
   • Use the wrench and hammer to gently tap around the bearing until it loosens.
   • Be patient and don’t force it, as this can damage surrounding components.
3. Install the new bearings:
   • Align the new bearing in the same position as the old one.
   • Tap it into place gently until it is secure.

Step 5: Replace the Seal

1. Remove the old seal (manжета) from the door area.
2. Clean the area where the new seal will be placed to ensure a proper fit.
3. Install the new seal:
   • Position it carefully and press it into place.
   • Ensure it is evenly seated to prevent leaks.

Step 6: Reassemble the Washing Machine

1. Reinsert the drum into the washing machine.
2. Secure the drum with screws or clips that were removed earlier.
3. Replace the back panel and ensure all screws are tightened properly.

Step 7: Reconnect and Test the Washing Machine

1. Reconnect the hoses and plug the machine back into the electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks.
3. Run a test cycle to ensure the washing machine operates smoothly without excessive noise.
