Ariston Drum Bearing Failure

Loud rumbling or grinding noise during spin.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn rear drum bearings, failed tub seal allowing water into bearings, damaged drum spider arm

Safety: Unplug the appliance.

Checks:

Spin by hand: Rotate the drum by hand. Roughness, grinding, or side play indicates bearing wear.
Check for play: Lift the drum up and down at the front. Excessive movement suggests bearing or spider failure.
Repair: Bearing replacement on many Ariston washer-dryers requires splitting the tub and pressing out bearings and seal, or replacing the entire tub assembly.

Recommendation: This is a complex repair requiring special tools; most users should engage a professional technician.
