If the washing machine makes a lot of noise during spinning, most likely it's time to replace the bearings in it. I do not recommend washing with such a noise, because this will lead to wear of the copper sleeve that the oil seal compresses. If grooves form on the bushing, then the drum spider will also have to be changed.

To replace the bearing in the Beko washing machine, you need to disassemble its body. The machine is disassembled from the front. First, detach the lower decorative panel and separate the hatch seal and the lock of its door from the front wall. The design of Beko machines, unlike many other models, allows in some cases to do without completely removing the tank from the body. And the disassembly of the case itself is much easier. Unless major repairs and parts of the loose bearings are required, the drum can be removed from the back of the tank, leaving it in place and removing only the front cover. This simplifies the work of the technician and shortens the repair time.

To disassemble the tank, remove the front panel and the lower tank counterweight. Next, remove the tubes and wires that fit to the front of the tank, as well as 12 clamps, with which the front cover of the tank is attached to its main part, and remove it. Then, after removing the back cover of the machine body, disconnect the belt and pulley and remove the drum. The bearing unit is pressed into the tank and consists of two bearings of different diameters (203 and 204) and an oil seal 25 * 50 * 10, located in a common glass. They put new bearings and assemble the machine. Finally, the build quality is checked.

In especially difficult cases, the main (rear) part of the tank must be removed entirely so that it can be worked with separately (knock out stuck bearings, for example). To do this, it is necessary to disassemble the machine much more completely - remove the upper case cover, detergent dispenser, control panel, disconnect the remaining wires and tubes, shock absorbers and springs from the tank. Sometimes it is really necessary, then the work of the master is added.
