Washing machine repair

Washing machine bearing and seal replacement in Tbilisi

The drum turns on two bearings protected from water by an oil seal. When the seal wears, water gets into the bearings, they rust and start to rumble. It is a big job, so the technician first assesses whether the repair makes sense for your model.

We usually reply within 3–5 minutes during response hours.

Tell us what you need done and your district. A photo is optional.

You agree on the price and timing with the professional.

How much it costs

Typical price in Tbilisi: from 100 ₾ for labour, parts not included. The technician confirms the final price on site or when you get in touch.

Signs

  • a loud rumble or roar during the spin that grows with speed;
  • the empty drum wobbles up and down and knocks;
  • the drum crunches or turns unevenly when rotated by hand;
  • water or rust marks under the back of the machine.

What you can check yourself

  • unplug the machine, open the door and rock the empty drum up and down by hand: noticeable play and knocking point to the bearings;
  • check that no coin or underwire is stuck between the drum and the tub — that also causes noise;
  • record the sound during the spin — it helps the technician.

How the technician works

To reach the bearings the machine is almost fully taken apart and the tub removed. The bearings and seal are always replaced together.

On some models the tub is sealed (welded). Then the whole tub is replaced, or the repair is no longer worth it. The technician tells you after the diagnosis, before you agree on a price.

After reassembly the technician runs a spin to check that the noise has gone and nothing leaks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep washing with noisy bearings?

Better not. A worn bearing can break apart and damage the tub and shaft — then the repair costs much more.

Why is bearing replacement expensive?

Most of the work is taking the machine apart and putting it back together. The price depends on the model, the tub type and the parts.
