Drum & Bearing Repair & Replacement
Does your washing machine sound like a jet engine taking off during the spin cycle? A roaring or grinding sound is a classic sign of failed tub bearings. We extract, repair, and fit premium SKF bearings and heavy-duty tub seals at your doorstep.
Our Drum & Bearing Replacement Steps
A deep-tier mechanical service requiring extreme precision:
Complete Strip-Down
We remove the outer cabinet and pull out the entire plastic outer tub assembly.
Tub Splitting
We split the outer wash tub to separate the inner stainless steel drum from the rear housing.
Bearing Pressing
Worn bearings and the central oil seal are hydraulically pressed out and housings cleaned.
Genuine Assembly
New high-grade double bearings, original shaft sleeve, and high-temp grease seals are fitted.
Decode Your Machine's Noise
Listen to your washer during spins. Here is what different sounds indicate:
Loud Roaring / Helicopter Sound
Classic indicator of water penetrating past the main rubber seal into the steel ball-bearings, causing rust and rapid breakdown.
Metal Grinding / Clunking
Indicates a fractured spider bracket support holding the spin drum. The drum sags and rubs directly against the heating element or plastic tub.
Squeaking / Screeching
Usually points to a dry drum shaft friction, a slipping drive belt, or damaged motor shaft bearings.
Intermittent Thumping
Indicates unbalanced wear on shock damper struts, or internal drum counterweight cement blocks coming loose.
Parts We Replace
To ensure a permanent repair, we replace the entire wear system of the tub assembly:
Premium Ball Bearings
We source double-sealed, high-speed bearings (like SKF or FAG) designed to withstand high radial forces during high RPM spin runs.
Double-Lip Tub Oil Seals
Crucial barrier preventing soapy chemical water from washing away the internal bearing lubricants. Fitted with marine-grade spring tensioners.
