Hotpoint WD21/23 bearing question!

[justanotherhigh]

Hi all again,
Got a poorly WD23, bearings are gone, saving pennies here, does anyone have the seal and bearing spec available to hand? I believe the bearings are 6204Z and 6205Z and the seal I have no idea on.
Let me know if you guys know anything!

hi

probably easier and cheaper to buy the kit of both bearings and seal, just looked and one is about £5 on ebay.

Oh dear

Naaah. Its not bearings. Half the spider has come off and punched a hole in the tub. Anyone need any WD23 parts? Hahaha.

Oh shame

this has happened and I've seen many a fairly new machine written off by a coin or nail through the tub. So when people ask whats the best machine to buy, I say the first thing to do towards longevity of an appliance is to check the pockets, otherwise even a high end machine can broken be beyond economical repair.

No I don't need another Hotpoint washer dryer lol, I keep a few going for landlords, so have a couple awaiting bearings already, you should get some useful spares off it in any case.
