We have an XL 8 Electrolux front loader,about 7yrs old,the drum has a noisy bearing.

Do i throw it or have a go changing it?
Got the top off,seems the cabinet is in two pieces,does it split so you can get to rear bearing and belt etc?

Thanks in advance

Had a look at a few sites like that but they seem to be mostly American models and brands.

That site is very helpful,even though different models and brands,still helpful.

Thanks

Give Alderley Refrigeration a call. They probably sell parts for it and are very helpful, although it's quite a few years since I've dealt with them, might be different now.

If you find it is not worth fixing, have some fun with it and try this,
