The bearing of my Whirlpool washing machine got corroded due to a leaking seal. So when the drying cycle started, the bearing started screeching so loud that my kids woke up.
I decided to replace the bearing and (after measuring) found the correct SKF bearing. After picking it up at the local dealer and paying 7 euro's, I started. But what did Whirlpool do? They made it impossible to remove only the bearing and seal. You had to replace the whole drum, which costs about half of the machine.
Why? I emailed Whirlpool and got a reply where I could buy the new drum..SIGH
