How many bearings are there in an Ariston washing machine? When repairing SMA, special attention should be paid to the selection of new components. Part sizes will vary greatly across different models, even from the same brand. If possible, it is better to dismantle the old parts, look at the markings and buy exactly the same elements.

It is important to find out in advance how many bearings are in the Ariston washing machine. The line of this brand includes models with both one and two rings. You should also find out what kind of seal the washing machine is equipped with. Let's look into the nuances.

Quantity and parameters of required parts

It can be difficult for beginners in the repair business to figure out what elements the bearing assembly of a washing machine consists of. Most models Ariston equipped with two bearings and one oil seal. However, among the washing machines of the Italian brand there are exceptions.

The dimensions of the bearings and oil seal will vary depending on the model of the Ariston washing machine.

The location of the bearings is not the most pleasant; they are “hidden” inside the tank; in order to remove the rings, you will have to almost completely disassemble the device.
