How many bearings are there in an Indesit washing machine?
When repairing a washing machine, special attention should be paid to the selection of spare parts. If you need to replace the bearing assembly of the machine, it is better to first disassemble the equipment, remove the worn parts, look at their markings and then go to the store to buy new components. If you still need to purchase elements for the washing machine in advance, we will help you figure out how many bearings are on the drum of the Indesit machine, and what kind of oil seal is included in the kit.
How many seals and bearings are needed?
Beginners in the business of repairing washing machines usually have no idea how many elements a bearing assembly consists of. Indesit front-loading machines are equipped with a pair of bearings and one oil seal. Typically, components are sold as a set, so it is difficult to make a mistake in quantity.
It is important to select a set of bearings and an oil seal for a specific model of Indesit automatic machine.
The dimensions of the components differ depending on the model of the washing machine. Sometimes the discrepancy is only 2-5 mm, and this difference is critical. Therefore, experts recommend first disassembling the machine, removing the bearings and trying to look at the markings on them. If the data on an element has been erased, you can estimate the size yourself or take the removed parts with you to the store to pick up similar spare parts.
What bearings and seals are installed on Indesit?
If it is not possible to consult with specialists in the selection of spare parts for repairing a washing machine, you will have to take the rap yourself. We have sorted out the number of components, now we need to understand how not to make a mistake with the sizes.Bearings are usually suitable for Indesit washing machines, depending on the model:
6203-ZZ. The outer diameter of the ring is 40 mm, the inner diameter is 17 mm, and the bearing width is 12 mm. Used in bearing unit 6203 ZZ + 6204 ZZ or 6202 ZZ + 6203 ZZ;
6204 ZZ. The dimensions of the outer, inner diameter and width are respectively 47 mm, 20 mm and 14 mm. The bearing can be included in the unit described above, as well as in the assembly 6204 ZZ + 6205 ZZ; this set must be completed with a rubber seal with a diameter of 52 mm;
6205-ZZ. The dimensions of the part are 52 mm, 25 mm and 15 mm, respectively. In addition to the bearing unit 6204 ZZ + 6205 ZZ, it can be used in Indesits equipped with bearings 6205 ZZ + 6206 ZZ.
An Indesit washing machine will require two bearings of different sizes, for example, 203-204, or 204-205.
As for the oil seal of washing machines, it is selected according to the size of the larger bearing. For example, 6205-ZZ will fit an O-ring with an outer diameter of 52 mm. To further simplify the search for components, we will describe which specific washing machine models will fit certain parts:
Indesit W 43T EX; W 63 T; W 63T EX; W 83 TK; W 83 TEX; W81 EX; W 84T X EX; W 93 T EX; W 101; W 104 T EX; WG 421 TX; WG 421 TPR; WG 622 TP; WG 622 TPR; WG 633 TX; WG 635 T: bearings 203-204, oil seal 25x47x10;
Indesit WISE 107 X EX; WISE 107 S EX; WISI 105X: bearing unit 204-205, O-ring 34×52/65×7/10;
You can purchase replacement parts in specialized online stores. The product is described in sufficient detail, the dimensions of the components and their compatibility with washing machine models are listed.Therefore, if you remove the old bearings and oil seal and independently measure their internal and external diameters and width, it will be extremely difficult to make a mistake.
There is one more nuance that home craftsmen are often unaware of. When changing bearings and seals on washing machines, it is important not to forget to purchase additional lubricant. Before putting new parts in place, be sure to treat them with lubricant. The Indesit brand recommends using Anderol when repairing automatic machines.
