Bosch WAE24166GB Washing Machine Inner Drum Not Spinning & Noisy Drum

August 20, 2024
Customer Question

During a spin cycle at 1,000 rpm there was a thump and the noise level increased significantly. After removing the load, there was a smell of burning rubber and it was apparent the inner drum was not spinning concentrically to the outer drum - at one spot the gap goes from 10 mm to 18 mm and was rubbing on the seal causing the burning smell. I cannot detect any play or noise in the bearings. Cracked/broken spider perhaps? Bosch WAE24166GB washing machine is 14 years old.

Hi John,

You’ve got it right, mate. It seems the spider has broken, causing the drum to not rotate properly and catch the door seal on one side. There’s good news and bad news.

The good news is that finding a drum for this machine won’t be hard since millions of these were made. Below, you’ll find an exploded diagram of your machine. It has reference numbers that match the genuine part numbers at the bottom of the page. You can also search sites like eBay and Facebook for a second-hand machine with the same model number but a different fault, like an electrical issue. Sometimes these can be picked up for as little as £20 to £30. You could then swap the drum from that machine to yours, making it work perfectly again.

The bad news is that this was one of the last good Bosch machines. The newer models don’t last much longer than five to seven years. The build quality isn’t what it used to be. I recently did a YouTube post with a poll about the savings you can have with modern washing machines. I’d love you to take part in this poll as it’s becoming a hot topic about manufacturers building in obsolescence rather than reliability.

Please spend 30 seconds to click on one of the two options in the poll. The more people involved, the more manufacturers will need to take note.
