bosch exxcel 7 washing machine
Hi.
The bearings on my 4 yr old washing machine have become noisy..iv just found out that the drum is a sealed version but doing research have found that the case can be separated and bearings replaced..can anyone. Advise on the bearings needed...specification etc..The manufacture wont give info as they say i have to replace the whole drum!....it makes it unviable to repair.
Any advise will be much appreciated
Kind regards
John

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Bosch Exxcel 7 noisy drum bearings on sealed tub
- The problem
- A Bosch Exxcel 7 washing machine, about four years old, had noisy drum bearings. The owner had been told the drum/tub assembly was a sealed type and was looking for the bearing specification to attempt a repair rather than replacing the whole drum.
- Likely cause
- Worn drum bearings were reported by the owner as the source of the noise. The discussion also states the machine uses a sealed, non-repair-designed drum assembly, making a bearing-only repair doubtful.
- What fixed it
- The accepted reply advised that it was probably not worth attempting because the machine was not designed to be repaired and had been made difficult or impossible to dismantle for this job. No bearing sizes, part numbers or successful repair method were provided. Replacement of the complete drum assembly was mentioned by the manufacturer, but no completed repair was confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Noisy bearings reported by the owner
- Machine identified as having a sealed drum/tub assembly
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

In all honesty I doubt it’s worth the trouble. It’s not designed to be repaired and in fact they deliberately make it hard or impossible.
