Maybe not 100% on topic, but I think there will be people in here who value repairing things and keeping them going longer.
I have a front loading washing machine (clothes) where the inner metal drum that spins is no longer sitting in the right position inside the larger plastic watertight container. It was still being driven to turn, but was rubbing at some point and so struggling to spin, and vibrations were bad. I don't know how things are connected inside there but I'm imagining a bearing or two inside has failed. I don't see any sign of other damage to other parts like the motor or the springs.
Is that likely to be something reasonably easy to repair myself? I'm happy enough disconnecting and reconnecting the electrical connections, but would you need any specialist tools for the seals or big springs? Or maybe the whole watertight part is a single piece and not designed to be repaired inside?
Thanks for any advice or info.
If i haven't described it well enough please ask questions...
Cheers!
look for disassembly videos of your specific washer/model number. You might even find videos with the same symptoms.
Taake it apart and take lots of pictures of everything as you take it apart so you can put it back together.
Look for signs of a damaged part.
Use Google image search or identify product markings/part numbers/model numbers and see if you can buy the part. 3.5) Post pictures asking to identify the part if all else fails.
Assume and plan that if you take it apart, you might need to buy a replacement washer. Plan accordingly.
