it spins for a while and then falls off it has been making a very loud noise for a while could that be the bearings??

9 years old if the inner drum lifts up by a few mm then time to scrap it bearings shot any brown rust marks on the floor underneath the mc .

when i put my hand right at the back of the drum it does not lift up but it does at the front. when i turn the drum manually it makes a grinding and banging noise.there arnt any rust marks on the floor under the mc

pull the inner drum up from the front just by the seal, back is no good .

[ryan1234]

can i not just change the bearing???

do yourself a favour strip mc down to see if you can get the bearings out ,it might be a broken drum surport ,then get the parts needed ,there is no point it buying it and finding it needs more parts or you crack the drum getting them out . then you have wasted your money ,part no for bearings is 168970 by the way .
