The American company Whirlpool produces high -quality household appliances and supplies it to many countries of the world. According to the statistics of service centers, the repair of washing machines of this brand happens less often. As a rule, our domestic market is received by WHILLPOOL of Italian, as well as Slovak production. It is worth noting that the manufacturer also owns eleven trading brands. Of these, all of them can be distinguished by BaukNECHT, which produces high -class equipment.
Easy to operate and excellent quality are the main characteristics that the washing units of the American company Whirlpool possess. However, bearings, which are almost the most vulnerable detail in absolutely any washing machine, sooner or later fail. Of course, in order for the replacement of the bearings to go as quickly as possible and, accordingly, efficiently, the best solution would be a call to a specialized repair service. Experienced specialists can replace old bearings with new ones as soon as possible. But you can try to replace yourself, we will talk about this.
It is worth noting that the new Whirlpool models are relatively easy to disassemble, if you have at least minimal experience in the technical part of washing machines. Engineers made the equipment quite convenient. Many models of this manufacturer have a vertical load of things. Therefore, consider the replacement of bearings on the example of the Whirlpool unit vertical type.
Unlike front -type units, vertical loading machines are based on bearings at once on both sides. For this reason, there are two nodes in vertical units. Accordingly, each of these nodes is equipped with one bearing. This is done so that the two axles of the drum can freely rotate in the washing machine.
The HirlPool vertical unit housing is dismantled, as well as the back. The tank of the washing machine itself from the main part and, accordingly, the cover. As for the pulley, it is fixed directly from the side of the unit cover. If the bearing has worn out in your WHILLPOL vertical type WHIRLPOL, then it is quite possible to replace the part with a new element. There is no need to get a tank from the case (which is quite difficult to do without appropriate experience in disassembly). That is, it is enough to only remove the lid and pulley from him.
In turn, if the bearing of the tank is worn out or out of order, then it will have to be completely removed from the washing machine. The broken bearing is extracted from a special support sleeve and then a new.
As you can see, replacing bearings in the WHILPOOL washing machine with a vertical load is relatively simple. But, nevertheless, if you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to entrust this work to highly qualified specialists and call a master from the Virpul service center at home.
