Beko wm5100w bearing?
hi, i've just took my washing machine apart, recently a few times smoke and burnt smell came out of it especially after spinning, and yesterday i also heard knocking loud noise from it at spinning cycle so i just turned it off, it was a 60*C program i couldn't think it should steam that much and the burning smell again. so this morning i run test program everything works electronic wise, but as i spin the drum by hand at some point it feels like something in between the drum and the drum housing. pulley at the rear seems solid no play motor's shaft has no play and belt looks fine. i took of the door seal because the whole drum floating it was hard to feel anything, but now i can see the drum is like not perfectly centered and i feel some play in the drum itself.
Wonder if theese have 2 bearings? is it worth take the whole drum out and dismantle to see the bearing inside?

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Beko WM5100W suspected drum bearing failure on welded tub
- The problem
- The washing machine produced smoke or heavy vapour and a burnt smell, especially during spin, then developed a loud knocking noise on spin. On inspection, the drum felt rough when turned by hand, appeared off-centre and had noticeable play. The rear pulley, motor shaft and belt were reported as having no play and the belt looked fine.
- Likely cause
- The discussion most strongly supports worn or failed drum bearings, with the original poster also finding that the outer tub appeared to be welded/non-serviceable. The accepted reply confirmed this type of issue is common, but did not add a detailed repair method.
- What fixed it
- No clearly documented repair was confirmed. The thread supports diagnosis of a likely bearing fault in a welded tub assembly, so replacement of the relevant complete drum/tub assembly or the appliance would be the probable next step, but the exact repair in this case was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Drum turned by hand and felt as if something was between drum and housing
- Drum found not perfectly centred
- Play felt in the drum
- Rear pulley checked and reported solid with no play
- Motor shaft checked and reported with no play
- Drive belt checked and reported fine
- Original poster noted the tub looked welded and not dismantleable
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
