Ive now ordered a genuine bearing as advised. Thanks

Item 423 is the whole rear metal panel Why would I change that. It’s to expensive to do that & that doesn’t explain why the bearing has failed. The rear metal cover just has a hole in it which the drum spindle passes through. Just can’t see why you advised that ???

There is the main plastic cover that hides all behind. I remove the 2 screws then i see a circlip through the end of the drum shaft. I remove circlip & pop off a circulare metal part like a wine gum sweet. Once that is removed i can then just pull off this peardrop part

I havent taken the rest of the back off but from memory im sure its just around the motor & drum. The damage to the bush is at the bottom when fitted

I did fit that the first time so as now the perdrop is worn i thought to just replace that as the rest of it is fine

Ive now taken it out. Model is Hotpoint Aquaris TVFM 70

Ok I’m asking why’s it needs replacing so soon. Cheap copy or do they need changing each year. Original lasted way longer.

When you say bearing isn’t that the grass part that Ive changed. The rear of the drum has a shaft which then fits into this bush.

I have a Hotpoint Aquarius 7Kg tumble dryer. Two years ago I replaced the brass looking bush at the rear of the machine. I noticed say metal filings down the rear or the appliance hence changing it. I did some washing yesterday & once down I removed the washing & turned the dial around so...

Plastic light also screwed to wooden wall. Plastic on off switch. Plastic back box. Nothing metal.

So this morning I thought let’s just try & switch the breaker on first & see what happens. My plan was to then separate the 2 red wires. I switched it on & fine. I operated the light & worked fine. At that point I had left it a while & no issues So last night with the small amount of light...

Thanks. Will look tomorrow.

Ok Just I case your not around tomorrow when I reply as your put most of the day please advise the outcome. With reds separated it still does it. With reds separated it’s now fine. Thanks for your time.

Try as above. You mean separate the 2 red wires

Regarding post 10 here is the main consumer unit. The last one on the right was I believe in the middle position. I’m sure I moved it down then all the way up to the position you see now. I didn’t touch anything else.

With regards post 8 yes this one in the off position makes it trip. This is why I have left it in the off position. In the morning when it’s light I will remove the 2 red wires from the switch & separate them & advise what happens.

This consumer unit is an addition to my main in in the house. All electric now on when this light breaker is off. Previously when I switched it back on main would trip again.

As requested thanks.

There is no button. It’s just a on / off item. When you say separating do you mean remove light switch. 1 red wire in 1 choc bloc block & then the other 2 in there own choc block. Please advise thanks. Also advise what I mentioned about earth wire.

As per title main circuit breaker tripped. I reset it at main consumer unit but same again. I switched off each individual breaker if that’s what you call it. I then switched on each 1 at a time until it tripped again. I have now electric on apart from the lighting in my spare room so this...
