Genuine Hotpoint Indesit Tumble Dryer Rear Drum Bearing Teardrop 482000022961

Bring back smooth, quiet drying with this genuine teardrop-shaped rear drum bearing, part number 482000022961, used in a wide range of Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda and Ariston tumble dryers. The rear bearing carries the back of the drum shaft every time the dryer runs, and as it wears the drum starts to squeak, grind or rumble. Fitting a new bearing takes the play out of the drum and helps your dryer run quietly again.

What This Part Does

The teardrop bearing sits in the back panel of the dryer and holds the rear drum shaft in position. It keeps the drum centred and lets it turn freely with the minimum of friction, so the motor and belt can rotate a full load of washing smoothly and quietly.

Common Fault Symptoms

  • Your dryer has started squeaking or squealing as the drum turns.
  • There is a grinding, rumbling or knocking noise coming from the back of the machine.
  • The drum feels loose or wobbles at the rear when you move it by hand.
  • The drive belt keeps wearing out or slipping sooner than expected.

Repair Difficulty

Moderate: the bearing is reached from the back of the dryer, but the rear panel has to come off and the drum needs supporting or lifting while the old bearing is removed and the new one pressed into place. It is a manageable job for anyone comfortable taking an appliance apart.

Typical Tools Required

  • Cross-head and flat-blade screwdrivers
  • Pliers
  • A torch

Description

A worn rear bearing is one of the most common causes of a noisy tumble dryer. Because the bearing supports the back of the drum on every cycle, it gradually wears until the shaft can move, which leads to squeaking, grinding and a drum that no longer turns true. Replacing it with this genuine teardrop bearing, reference 482000022961 (also listed as C00208205), brings the drum back into line.

Before ordering, compare the shape of your old bearing: this is the teardrop-shaped type, and some Hotpoint and Indesit dryers use a different riveted bearing or a bearing kit instead. While the bearing is out, check the drum shaft as well; if it is scored or worn it should be replaced at the same time so the new bearing lasts.
