Update Because of chest infection I attempted to hacksaw apart the out casing but no energy. So it was a brilliant excuse to get a tool I have always wanted, an angle grinder, £18 from Argos. Instead of taking hours to hack through, it took about 10 minutes with the AG, and a smoother finish...

Do us a favour, if you haven't got anything worthwhile to post, just don't bother!

Started late in the day today to remove the drum. What an absolute painfully frustrating job it is these days. Back in the day was bad enough! Just struggling to get the actual drum out of the casing. The battle continues. The drum is finally out! That's enough for me today as I have been off...

Yes it does look and sound like a third world repair but like you said the effort and steps to repair are excellently explained. I will learn very much from his mistakes but most of all take my time. As for the star washer suggestions - BRILLIANT! Just got to work out how many, that won't be...

Again, thanks Harry, superb as aalways! Yes, the sealant was my next port of call. Toolstation has what the chap in the video used. I am happy with that...... Toolstation sealant The next thing is to get hold of some nuts and bolts....... would a spring washer be advisible to add to the each...

Yes Harry, AI can't be fully trusted yet. Also, yes, because nobody has given me an exact bearing part number, I am going to have to take the drum apart, get to the bearings and seal and order direct from their info. Will the seal have a number on it? I work in a school and we break up for...

Just asked AI and it came up with this...... For the Hoover Dynamic Next DXOA 69LW3-80 (model number 31008369), the compatible drum bearing kit typically consists of two ball bearings (sizes 6204ZZ and 6205ZZ) and a matching water seal. Drum Bearing & Seal Kit Details Washing machine repair...

I have had one reply to my bearing question from an eBay Seller and they say the item: Washing Machine Drum Bearing & Oil Seal Kit Hoover Candy New Generation 45x80 should fit.

Can't see any definite bearing parts. I have elailed a few places for confirmation. Other than that, I will have to wait a couple more weeks (half term) where I will dismantle the drum and get the part numbers from the actual bearings. Will the seal have a part number scribed on it please?

Well, thank you for the very informative but pointless comment. Don't know why you bother, TBF!

Yes, Harry! But I need to nail down the bearing part numbers. Ain't gonna have time tonight.

Thanks for you advice Harry. I feel your historic pain but also your celebration. My only problem is that the machine is still working, though noisey. I will have to follow the video you attached and get to the bearings to find the part number, then order the bearings, wait for them to be...

Harry, thanks for the video. Very educational and something I could easily do. Mind you, looking at his steel drum and the spider, I would have scrapped that, far too corroded!! I like the backup/safety part of drilling holes and fixing the two case halfs with silicone backed up by nut and...

Again thank you Harry for helping out. This is a learner for all of us!!....... I finally, after much more wasted time, got hold of somebody kinda connected to Hoover, after being dealt with by a call centre dude who was incredibly rude and unhelpful. He just wanted me to be moved onto another...

yes, that was my thoughts also. I am waiting for a reply from Hoover as I got an email today from them, giving me no answer whatsoever! Absolutely useless service. Safe to say, my email was not a postive one!

Thanks JJ. When spinning the drum by hand, there is a slight bit of play with a touch of grinding. That link you gave me (thanks) is the one of the parts I have already searched.

Thanks Harry for looking. I can't find any bearings as I don't know their part number.

The Model Number is DXOA 69LW3-80 and it isn't anywhere to be found on the machine!! No where online does it tell me if I can replace just the bearing set or that I have to purchase a whole new drum that includes the bearings. I have complained to Hoover as I tried their telephone line, online...

Thank you Harry. Yes, I will have a look to find the model number tomorrow as it will be on the back and it is a pain to get the WM out!

Bearings for Hoover Dynamic Next 9Kg Hello All. It sounds as though my Hoover Dynamic Next 9Kg Washing Machine needs new bearings as it sounds louder than usual on high spin and there is a grinding type feel when spinning the inner drum by hand. What bearings and anything else do I...
