Update
So finally the drum is reassembled and all drum & pulley bearings changed, few teething troubles at first though.
The main drum was very tight, although as halves for contrarotate are free, so that was an improvement. The main drum has freed up since spinning. I am disappointed that there is a bit of a chattering noise from the main bearing, considering it was pressed in. Can only hope that it will quieten given a few hot washes. And that the main bearing seal does the job lol.
Will have to order the gearbox motor, it's on it's way out as it keeps getting stuck and slows.
I have taken some pics of the ramp, gearbox and pulley system coming together. Will load these up soon.

Well done! I was amazed everytime the dyson engineer came to fix the washing machine, the machine surely was something different!
Did you know by pressing the soil type button in the mode you had it in it will go to the next step in the program sequence. 24 stands for final spin, 25 for slowing down, 26 for anti crease tumble etc.
We do miss the dyson for one reason, we can't wash our king size duvets at home anymore as the LG only has a 69litre drum so we have to go to the launderette and the machines aren't very good (Ipso with the clock dial). It was a good machine, excellent washing and very fast too.
I want to ask what does Hz stand for on the display in diagnostic mode? When it was spinning it would hit 1750Hz, 64Hz (ish) on normal tumbling and 400Hz on contraroration.
Happy washing

Can's say I have seen anything re the Hertz on the display, can only think it may be a later or earlier software version than what machine uses (v106 I think). I would think it would be representitive of the RPM the motors are working at?
I have nothing in my service manuals that mention this, so a new one on me =)
I'm always using the soil type button in diagnostics, takes too long for some parts in the cycle when just checking operation.
Deffo useful for the duvet wash (main reason I wanted one) and it was a good job that it was fixed this weekend, one of the cats decided to chunder on the bed.... ewww! The drum is perfect for this.
The machine was a bargain, an eBay find for £35.00 with F11, the bridge rectifier had failed so that was an easy fix. It started to get louder as the months went by, and it was starting to struggle in contrarotate. I kept putting it off for the amount of time I knew it was going to take, and not being my daily driver wasn't in a rush.
However I am pleased as punch that it's running again, and relativly as quiet as it was. The bearing noise is starting to quieten down. Just need to get the gearbox motor replaced and the rear wheels and the beast can have a full bill of clean health lol. I would estimate by the time I have completed everything it will have cost about £135 in various parts (not just for the drum bearings but other bit's and bobs) but I think well worth it.

Hello Andy you must be pleased as punch to have won over one these possible nightmare machines, I am pleased for you and the machine.
You will be one of the few people in England i would think with a fully working one, whenever they came into work it was always the gear box that had gone for the umpteenth time. I used to be tempted at times to take one home and have a fiddle, but i backed out
Well Done
