Hi, I have this model and the drum is off a sealed type (no bolts to split it in half) so does this mean I'm out of luck in changing the drum bearings or can this still be done and if so what parts do I need?

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

Zanussi ZWF1621 has non-serviceable sealed drum bearings

The problem
The owner asked whether the drum bearings could be replaced on a Zanussi ZWF1621 washing machine with a sealed outer drum tub that has no bolts to split it.
Likely cause
The accepted reply states the machine has a modern sealed drum design intended to be effectively non-repairable, so the bearings are not described as separately serviceable.
What fixed it
No bearing replacement method or parts were provided. The strongest supported conclusion is that, because the tub is sealed, the bearings are not intended to be replaced separately. Exact repair action was not confirmed.
Checks to try
  • Confirmed the outer drum/tub is a sealed type with no bolts to split it

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