This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Candy GO DF 800-80 drum bearings likely not supplied separately

The problem
The owner of a Candy Grand O 1400 spin washing machine, model GODF 800-80, was trying to source replacement drum bearings but could not find any listed against the model number and asked whether compatible bearings from another Candy model might fit.
Likely cause
The accepted reply states the drum bearings are likely not available as separate parts for this model. It suggests many Candy washing machines were built so the bearings are not intended to be replaced separately, often requiring a complete tub or drum assembly instead.
What fixed it
No compatible bearing part number or confirmed cross-reference was provided. The strongest supported advice was that separate bearings are probably not available for this machine and that replacement would typically involve the complete tub or drum assembly. The exact repair was not confirmed.
Checks to try
  • Model number checked as GODF 800-80
  • Searches for drum bearings against the model found no listing

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

I can't find any either. Chances are the bearings are not available. Most Candy washing machines (and other brands) have needed complete tub or drum replacements for some years now. They are commonly designed to not be replaceable.
