How to change a bearing in a Leran washing machine?

The need for new bearings may be indicated if your Leran washing machine is making unusual noises or vibrating excessively. Bearings support the drum and enable quiet, efficient spinning, which is essential for the smooth operation of your machine. These parts may deteriorate or sustain damage over time, giving rise to a variety of problems.

Although replacing the bearing may seem like a difficult undertaking, you can do this repair yourself if you have the necessary equipment and a little perseverance. We’ll walk you through the process of changing the bearing in your Leran washing machine in this guide, so you can improve its lifespan and performance.

We’ll dive into the procedure, going over everything from problem diagnosis to the last steps needed to have a successful replacement. Let’s get started and restore optimal performance to your washing machine!

First, diagnostics

One cannot refer to the impending work as simple. You will need to disassemble the washing machine Leran nearly entirely in order to replace the bearing. If, after much work, you discover that the bearing unit is in perfect working order, that would be a shame. As a result, you must begin with diagnostics.

The following symptoms point to the need for a new bearing:

• the machine knocks during operation;
• when rotating the drum by hand, you can hear grinding and clanking;
• there is significant play in the drum (you can understand whether this is true by shaking the container with your hand in different directions);
• the washing machine gives a corresponding error;
• there are rusty stains on the back wall of the tank (to check this guess, you need to remove the back panel of the Leran washing machine case).

Occasionally, the task involves more than just changing the bearing. There may occasionally be evidence of damage to the shaft or crosspiece. This means that you’ll need to buy more parts, which will drive up the cost of repairs.

What to do to remove the tank with the drum?

Even though it requires a lot of work, any user can complete it. The most important thing is to adhere to the action instructions to the letter. You must have a set of keys, a small hammer, a punch, a screwdriver, and a Phillips and slotted screwdriver on hand for the repair.

Disconnect the washing machine from the power, water, and sewage supplies before disassembling it.

• unscrew the 2 screws holding the lid of the washing machine;
• remove the top panel of the automatic machine body;
• remove the powder tray from the machine;
• remove the screws securing the control panel;
• carefully place the dashboard on top of the machine or hang it on the side (you can completely disconnect the control panel, but before this you need to photograph the wiring diagram);
• unhook the lower false panel from the washing machine body;
• twist the garbage filter by previously setting up a container under it (so you can drain the remaining liquid from the system);
• unscrew the screws and remove the back wall of the housing;
• remove the drive belt from the pulley;
• loosen the wire clamp of the drum cuff with a screwdriver and pull out the ring;
• insert the sealing rubber into the drum;
• remove the screws and dismantle the front panel of the housing.

The front wall removal will be hampered by the hatch locking mechanism. After taking a picture of the contacts’ connection diagram, carefully remove the contacts. You can then safely unhook the UBL.

The next step is to unplug every internal component that prevents the tank from being removed:

• unhook the filler pipe;
• unfasten the wire connected to the dispenser, as well as the pipes, remove the hopper from the housing;
• remove the upper metal bar (access to it will open after disconnecting the dashboard);
• dismantle the upper counterweight;
• remove the pressure switch (it is necessary to take into account that on Leran machines the level sensor is additionally fixed with a bolt);
• disconnect the thermistor by resetting its terminals;
• disconnect the wires from the heating element;
• remove the tubular heater from the machine;
• disconnect the motor by unscrewing the screws that secure it;
• unhook the drain pipe from the tank (on Leran, in addition to the clamp, it is additionally secured with a separate bolt).

Nothing will now prevent the tank-drum unit from the Leran washing machine from being removed. Once the shock absorbers have been addressed, take the container out of the SMA. You can ask for help since the parts are heavy.

Although replacing a bearing in a Leran washing machine may seem difficult, it can be a simple do-it-yourself fix with some help. This guide will take you through each step of replacing the bearing, which includes unplugging the power and removing the drum, installing the new bearing, and putting the machine back together. Whether your washer is making noise or you’re having trouble with the drum moving, our guide will help you fix your Leran washing machine and avoid paying for a professional repair.

Dismantling and disassembling the tank

After the tank is removed, more procedures are carried out. With the pulley facing up, the plastic container needs to be set down flat. After that, the nut securing the drum wheel must be undone. After pressing the rod inward, the drum itself can be removed.

Leran washing machines have a collapsible tank.

Replacing bearings is made much easier with a collapsible tank. You don’t need to saw anything in this situation. It is sufficient to separate the plastic container into two pieces by unscrewing the screws surrounding its perimeter.

You can now examine the shaft and the crosspiece. Verify that none of the parts are distorted. The elements shouldn’t show any signs of wear. If everything checks out, you can proceed with the repair as planned.

It is preferable to swap out the crosspiece and shaft right away if they are in poor shape. When purchasing parts for a particular Leran model, pay attention to the marking on the old spare parts and their serial number.

After that, you can start taking the rings off. You will require a punch and a small hammer to disassemble the bearings. Mechanism of action:

• remove the oil seal (sealing gasket);
• place the end of the punch in the center of the rear bearing;
• carefully tap the ring, hitting the punch with a hammer (the metal rod must be constantly rearranged, you cannot hit the same place);
• knock out the second bearing in the same way.

The seat is then free of rust and grime. Additionally, the drum shaft needs to be cleaned and polished as needed. You can now press in new bearings after the "cleaning" is complete.

Although replacing a bearing in a Leran washing machine may seem difficult, it is definitely doable with the right tools and a little perseverance. Before you begin, make sure you have all the required components and equipment available. By preparing ahead of time, any disruptions to the repair process can be avoided.

Recall that before you start, you must unplug the washing machine from the water and power supplies. By taking this step, you can use the machine safely. After everything is in place, carefully follow the instructions to take out the old bearing and replace it with the new one. It’s critical to handle every component carefully to prevent damage.

Reassemble the washing machine after replacing the bearing, then give it a test run to make sure everything is operating as it should. To make sure everything was installed correctly, it might be worth contacting a professional if you run into any problems or if the machine continues to make strange noises.

In addition to saving money on repairs, replacing the bearing yourself will help you learn more about how your washing machine functions. Regular upkeep and repairs will grow less daunting and more manageable with experience. Have fun doing the laundry!
