The upper bearing may be worn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBearings let a shaft turn smoothly while holding it centred. When an upper bearing wears, the shaft starts to move off centre and the bearing runs rough. You may hear a rumble, grind or squeal that gets louder as the speed rises, feel play when you rock the drum or tub by hand, or see rust stains and grease weeping near the bearing housing. Left too long, a failed bearing can damage the shaft, seals and housing, which turns a bearing job into a much bigger repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055722914\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso catalogued as 24152028K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting note: remove the tab washer and use a thread locker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant fitting note for this bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the machine off at the wall and close the taps first.
