4. Configuració i instal·lació

Replacing washing machine bearings and seals requires mechanical aptitude. If you are unsure, consult a qualified technician.

4.1 Preparació

• La seguretat primer: Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply and water lines before beginning any work.
• Accés: Disassemble the washing machine to gain access to the drum and bearing housing. This typically involves removing the top, front, and sometimes the rear panels, and detaching the drum from the motor and suspension.
• Eliminar components antics: Carefully remove the old bearings and seal from the drum shaft and housing. Note their orientation for correct reinstallation.
• Neteja: Thoroughly clean the bearing seats, shaft, and seal housing to remove any old grease, rust, or debris. A clean surface is crucial for proper seating and longevity of new components.

4.2 Installing New Components

1. Instal·lar els rodaments: Carefully press the new 6204-2RS and 6305-2RS bearings into their respective seats in the drum housing. Ensure they are seated squarely and fully. Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the bearings.
2. Lubricate the Seal: Before installing the new 35x62x10/12 seal, apply the provided HYDRA-2 lubricant to the inner lip of the seal. This is critical for preventing friction and premature wear.

3. Instal·leu el segell: Carefully press the lubricated seal into its housing, ensuring it is flush and correctly oriented. The lip of the seal should face towards the drum.
4. Remuntatge: Reassemble the washing machine in reverse order of disassembly. Ensure all connections are secure and all panels are correctly fitted.

5. Consideracions operatives

Once the new bearings and seal are installed, the washing machine should operate smoothly and quietly. Pay attention to any unusual noises or leaks during the first few cycles. Proper installation of these components is crucial for the washing machine's overall function and efficiency.

6. Manteniment

The bearings and seal in this kit are designed for long-term performance once correctly installed. The primary maintenance step is the initial proper lubrication of the seal during installation. No further lubrication or maintenance is typically required for these specific components after installation, assuming correct usage of the washing machine.

7. Solució De Problemes

7.1 Common Issues After Installation

• Loud Noises (Grinding/Whining): This often indicates improperly seated or damaged bearings. Re-check installation.
• Fuites d'aigua: Leaks around the drum shaft usually point to an incorrectly installed or damaged seal, or insufficient lubrication of the seal. Verify seal orientation and lubrication.
• Vibració: Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced drum, but also by improperly installed bearings.

7.2 Solucions

• If any of the above issues occur, immediately stop the washing machine and disconnect power.
• Carefully re-examine the installation of the bearings and seal. Ensure they are correctly seated and the seal is adequately lubricated.
• If issues persist, it may be necessary to consult a professional appliance repair technician.

8. Consells d'usuari
