    Welcome.
    I found similar threads, but in practice came out discrepancies and replacement of bearings failed. Problem - spinning noise. I replaced the shock absorbers, there is a small improvement, finally, with the advice of the forum, I ordered bearings with grease on both sides. I used this thread, but there are differences that I have not gone through link
    First of all, I have central TORX 40 screws on the belt side logical that I have to unscrew it to get to the bearing, and from the passive side is this a necessary condition? How do you unscrew it, and specifically how to lock it, because the whole drum turns when you try to unscrew it? I have a fairly tight belt, take it off forcefully from a large wheel, right?

    PS.
    The washing machine is 4 years old rusting in power, the bearings have drama ... I bought it only because of the kind of good service (Wrocław).

    Slightly slide it off and by turning the wheel it will fall by itself, assembly in reverse order. Then you will be able to make sure about the condition of the bearings - visually (although this is a poor indicator) there is no tragedy. Screw out the same way from the passive and active side, but stock up with a decent wrench, the screws screwed in the axles will probably be reinforced with glue. As for rust. Tear all this bladder off the enamel, clean the metal sheet and renew the bath tubs with enamel, it will be almost like a new one :)

    Hey, thank you for your help and very valuable tips. I will have to stock up on a good torxy rattle, so because the usual L-ka too little strength can be seen :) The bearings do not look bad because I cleaned these places with IPA and lubricated WD40 :) With rust on the flap, this sheet is already so riddled that any moment the holes will come out. Preventively, of course, I will protect it according to your advice.

    For this rattle it can be a good piece of extension tube.

    Hey, the bearings replaced (the old ones were good) but I mentioned in the belief that maybe well + a special grease for this for some sick money. However, this washing machine, when it comes into high speed, collapses as if it was about to fall apart ... Earlier I replaced the shock absorbers, but that's not it either. What else to check and what may be wrong here? The washing machine is generally stable, it does not move, but breaks tremendously.

    Check if counterweights are tightened properly and upload a video of the washing machine operation, it will be easier :)

    And the counterweights have you checked if the fastening screws have come loose?

    You have holes in the tank where the plastic pins for shock absorbers come in. You'll probably have to get used to it. :|

    Friends :arrow: baby and h jaworski thank you for your help these were just loose bolts on the counterweights. It wasn't visible or felt, they were slightly loosened under the key, but you can see at 1000-1200 revolutions that makes a difference :)
