    Hello. My mother's current washing machine gave up its spirit yesterday, so I have to pick something new a little "quickly". Amount up to PLN 1,500, loaded from the front, up to a depth of 45 cm. I really care about replaceable bearings. I know that all Amici, LG and Bosche WLG, WLK and WLT washing machines have this advantage. Initially, I'm decided on LG, I like the inverter motor, the features and the opinions about these washing machines. But I prefer to have a broader view anyway. What is the situation with other manufacturers' drums / bearings in this price range? Unfortunately, apart from Amica, probably no producer boasts about it, so it's hard to get information, and on the Internet, on forums, there is information from years ago, and a lot could have changed. I mean mainly Elektrolux, because as far as I know it is popular in our country. Recently, I also noticed Sharp washing machines in the store, previously I did not even know that they were producing. What does it look like with them?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sharp washing machines do not have replaceable bearings, I had several models in the store last year and checked.

    I am not convinced if the Bosches you mentioned have a removable drum - I was looking for such information and I found contradictory data. This may depend on the year of manufacture - hence the inconsistency. Certainly, the disassembled drum also has the WAE series produced in Poland, but it is not slim :(
    But - some Bosch machines have a drum that can be dismantled, but the bearing is sunk in the rear part and you have to either replace "half" of the tank or cut.
    The second thing I already wrote about in another thread, after entering the word replacement of bearings in google or olx - we will get the results of many companies that replace bearings in all washing machines by cutting and welding plastic. provide a guarantee, and the cost of the order of PLN 200 plus a possible shipment of the washing unit. My father-in-law did it three years ago in 9-year-old Candy and so far it works, nothing is leaking.
    Currently, I am also considering Candy - they give a 5-year warranty :)

    I have info about it from one thread on the forum, probably from 2016, maybe something has changed during this time.

    Or maybe a colleague will repair a washing machine that gave up the ghost and probably has the desired, disassembled tank, instead of planning to replace the bearings in a new washing machine.

    Exactly - that might be the most sensible thing. Especially since it does not have to mean expensive repair. Here are two examples:
    The 1st washing machine knocked out the "differential" - the heater was released
    2.washing machine took water and solid, and when it was restarted it let out the water, scooped up again and stood again - broken motor brushes

    In both cases, both the cost and the difficulty are minor.

    Electrolux unfortunately has no replaceable bearings.

    Sharp leaves the same factory as Amica washing machines, and in most cases they have replaceable bearings.

    Electroluxes have replaceable bearings, but ... those are loaded from the top :) If someone else was looking for info about it, here it is - https://www.prorankingi.pl/blog/aktualna-lista-pralek-z-wymiennymi-lofinansami/ - information confirmed by the producers, not taken from the hat and yet another curiosity about Samsung, because they have replaceable bearings, but not only do they need to be replaced then :)

    Currently, no front-loading washing machine from this manufacturer has a disassembled tank. The bearings are replaced by cutting open the tank.

    I add that I generally replace bearings in non-dismountable drums, but I do not stick together, but just twist so that the next time the user can replace the bearings on their own. Regards.
