Washing Machine Drum -Too Forward After Repair

[tali1]

Replaced bearings on washing machine- but have a new problem now , the drum is too forward.The door catches it and it makes a noise(so it is not an unbalanced load problem) .Checked everything and i can't find anything wrong in putting it back together.

[EDDIE51]

Wrong bearings or bearings not located correctly in the housing.

Murphy's Law:

If something can be assembled wrongly, it will be.

This may sound "Oh well" is the bearing the right way in? are the balance Springs Hooked in place correctly?

[tali1]

Is it actually possible to fit bearings incorrectly? In fact , you would have to make a determined effort to do so ?
Springs hooks have been tried all ways - but to no avail

[TWR]

Regards the bearings, just a thought, did you check the bearing for the size before inserting?

[EDDIE51]

The bearings may be the same diameter so they fit but a millimeter or two thicker. They come in a variety of width/thickness for the same diameter.

[TWR]

Did you check the compatible new bearing Tali? when you open the door does the Drum look central? if all looks ok, is there anything obstructing?

A friend readjusted the drum and it seems to be fine.He says it is impossible to fit wrong bearings -although he is speaking as someone with lots of experience who can tell them apart at a glance
