Hello, the bearings in my washing machine started to make noise.
I turned on the washing machine, took out the drum.
Unfortunately, I can not disassemble it, as you probably already know it was welded.
How can I replace the bearings in this washing machine?
Is it profitable to repair it at all?
I would like to spend as little money as possible repairing the washing machine.

Drill fi 6 holes for M6 bolts around the tank, without overdoing it with the number of screws, then cut the tank in half and after replacing the bearings and sealant, twist the tank with the above-mentioned screws using automotive glass glue.
The question remains what condition the cross will be in and whether it will be tight after twisting the tank.

I did everything right.
Unfortunately, now I have a new problem, the heater does not heat up, it is connected well because before disconnecting I took a photo of how the cables are connected.

How can I check if the fault is in the heater, or maybe in another place?

Check the heater resistance with a multimeter. A functional one should be about 30?. It would also be worth checking if 230V voltage appears in the heater power cables. The heater power measurement should be started after about 10 minutes. from starting a washing program with hot water.

Hello, now I have such a problem.
The heater resistance is about 30 ohms, unfortunately the heater itself does not heat up.
When starting the washing machine and the washing program, when I checked the voltage for a while (at the very beginning of the wash), it was about 230V, then it dropped to 0V.
What can cause such a problem?

The washing machine does not heat up at the beginning of the wash cycle. The heater turns on 5 to 10 minutes after it is started. Write whether the entire washing cycle is washed with cold water.

Hello
In these washing machines, if there is any reason with the heater, burned out or has a breakdown, the appropriate error will appear.

Well, there are no errors, because then this indicator from the service should light up, right?
Can I break something in the washing machine if I connect the heater wires in reverse? I am curious what will happen when they are reversed.

I think so, but to be sure, I will put the laundry on again in the evening.

If you connect the heater wires the other way around, you will not damage anything and the heater will work if it has power. The only question is whether the washing machine powers the heater?
It is better and faster to check it with a multimeter than to wait half an hour for the washing machine to heat the water, if it heats it.

It is enough to set the multimeter to measure 230V AC and after about 10 minutes from turning on the washing machine for any program with water heating, measure the voltage at the heater connections. The wires do not even need to be disconnected from the heater.

It was done just like that, the tension only appeared there for a moment, then it was gone.

It faded completely? If so, check the relay on the control module.
The contacts in the relay may have burned out.

Yes, absolutely.
Each time, it appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

To check the relay, it must be desoldered from the module. He must not give the control voltage when it is soldered in the controller because it may damage the controller.

Is this talking about? The metal bent a little while inserting the drum.

No. This is an anti-interference filter. If it was damaged, the washing machine would not have power.
The relay is a "rectangle" and there are several of them on the electronic controller board.
You are waiting for the disassembly of the front grille and electronics that are there.

That's enough.
