Bearings for washing machine Atlant 50С102

European manufacturers of washing machines are trying to standardize parts and components for the equipment they produce. However, in most cases, the set of spare parts still depends on the machine series, year of manufacture, and model. How are things going with the bearings for the Atlant 50C102 washing machine? Will it be possible to freely purchase a repair kit if necessary, or should I stock up on it in advance?

Identifying bearings

If the bearings are worn out, the operation of the washer will be impaired. It is necessary to repair the “home assistant” as soon as possible so as not to further aggravate the situation. But what components should I buy to replace them? What to look for when purchasing? On modern Atlanta 50C102 bearings SKF 6203 ZZ and SKF 6204 ZZ are installed, the oil seal dimensions are standard - 25x47x8/11,5.

Machines produced before 2010 are equipped with completely different bearings - 204 and 205. Moreover, specialists in the repair of washing equipment in certain lines of machines from 2011-2012. We also encountered units that used similar components.

When repairing washing machines manufactured between 2010 and 2012, you should not purchase bearings in advance.

It is better to disassemble the car, remove worn parts and only then, after looking at the markings of the spare parts, buy new ones. Otherwise, you may purchase a completely unsuitable repair kit. Sometimes the 2012 Atlant has bearings 204 and 205 on the drum, although this is very unexpected.

It is much easier to select an oil seal. The diameter of the O-ring is standardized. The Belarusian manufacturer uses a universal size gasket - 25x47x8/11.5.Therefore, you can safely purchase a universal oil seal for the Atlant 50C102 washing machine.

Part replacement procedure

The design of the machine allows the unit to be pulled out through the top, so there is no need to remove the front panel of the case. To freely remove the tank, you need to remove the washer cover, upper counterweight, dispenser, control panel, level sensor, intake valve, back wall, drive belt, remove the heating element and motor, disconnect the drain pipe, loosen the shock absorbers.

Next, the extracted unit is placed on a flat surface and disassembled. Atlant machine guns have a collapsible tank; there is no need to saw it. Bearings are replaced according to the following algorithm:

• unscrew the bolts holding the front counterweight, remove the block;
• loosen and remove the inner clamp of the cuff, tuck it in so as not to stain the elastic during disassembly;
• Unscrew the screws holding the two parts of the tank, remove the top and put it aside;
• turn over the bottom half;
• disconnect the pulley by unscrewing the central screw. If you cannot loosen the bolt, treat it with WD-40 aerosol;
• remove the drum by lightly hitting the bushing;
• using a hammer and chisel, knock out both bearings;
• clean the seat from dirt;
• install the small bearing into the groove. Tap on its outer ring so that it “fits” well into the “socket”;
• install a larger bearing in the same way;
• Place the oil seal on top, after treating it with a special lubricant.

Once the bearings and seal are installed, all that remains is to assemble the assembly. It is advisable to treat the tank halves along the edges with a moisture-resistant sealant and only then connect them with bolts. Next, all the removed parts are fixed in the housing in the reverse order.

   Maksim:

   We disassembled such a washing machine and the smaller bearing turned out to be France 206B Explorer, i.e. 6201-2rsh. Explain why? The washing machine was purchased in 2009. Another mechanic changed the bearings before us, was it his mistake or what?
