Servis supertwin 108, spin bearing change.

Ah, thanks mike

now Ive seen the filter, no this 108 doesnt have one. But you can see the water surge through where it would be, so maybe not as effective as the filter flow principle, but it would be a second best.

cheers mike

Ah I see, no unfortunately my 111 doesnt have the white plastic lint filter either but has the identical two part agitator as mike has shown in the picture.
Were they not all equipped with them then?

Lint trap..

No they didn't all come with the white plastic lint trap, they stopped producing them after i believe the 108 model but i could be wrong on the model number but definitely not wrong on the discontinuation of the making of them, theyre like gold dust now so if you have one keep hold of it.. I scoured every dump site i could to find one which i eventually did, it now sits in pride of place in my Supertwin 110 which unfortunately has the spinner bearings problem, can anyone please PLEASE give me the part number for the Servis Supertwin 110 range for the spinner bearings so i can have some made for it.. its next to useless without a new set and sounds like a jet engine ready for take off, Very hollow and very loud with an echo just to enrich the neighbourhood in which i live... but i need the model number on the bearing set to have them made.. I'll have them fitted by experts as i'm no repairman and won't even attempt to dismantle it to find the wanted number.. Once its up and running i'll add a picture to show it off, apart from the bearing problem its in as new condition.. PLEASE HELP.. Thanks for all and any help you can give .. Paul

Bearings

Paul

Welcome to AW.

I am sure that it will not be long before Mike or Matthew can advise on the correct bearings, they may even have some in their parts stashes. As you can see I am not far from you (see the thread "A New Vintage Washroom) and indeed Paul & Rob are also close (Ripley)so its possible that if Matthew is visiting either of us you could bring your machine over for a repair - the spin can on my 100 is still leaking and I hope Mathew can do a masterclass so I can learn how carry out the repairs myself

Well as you can see it's quite a job, complete dismantle to get to the bearings.

Also you can see that I had the bearing and shaft replacement complete unit. the actual bearings are standard bearings, up to the 108 they were imperial, the 110 onwards metric. They use 2 6201ZZ, I can send you two of these or you can get them of ebay or an online bearing supplier. The real problem is getting the carbon face seal, they are quite similar to the ones used on the hoover spin dryers, but again those aren't easy to find. you may find when the unit is dismantled the seal could have threads or lint round it or could be cleaned up and work again. So I don't know if you have any local repair shops who may have any old parts lurking on long forgotten shelves, may be worth a few phone calls.

Hope you can get this repair done and that the photos of my thread will be of help.

I hope ive spelt your name right.. when you say they are similar to the ones used by hoover, does this mean they'll do the job or will it be another hunt? the company im using to carry out the repair is Burton domestics.. theyve been going for years and have a good reputation, i'm just hoping they will have the necessary equipment to finish the job off once its been started..thanks for all your help and the model numbers of the wanted bearings.. you'v been great.. Cheers and all the best - Paul xXx
