Have a reasonably new Washing Machine .... and bearing is on its way out on the drum.
Groaning badly if you rotate by hand and very noisy on spin ......(no shaking or vibration of the machine though)
It's a Hotpoint WMUD962 Ultima
Local repair guys (who are trustworthy & honest) advised on this model bearing is on inner drum and there is a sealed outer nylon drum - bearing can't be replaced. (great design idea)
Needs a new drum tub, £140 from Hotpoint.
Found new one at £90 ..... comes complete with heater.
Anybody changed one of theses drums .... any tips/hints.
