Bosch WFX2468GB/20 Washing Machine Bearings Gone
Hi Paul, I think the bearings have gone on this Bosch WFX2468GB/20 washing machine. Having read your comments about this being a difficult fix and fortunately having a backup machine available, I'm minded to "retire" it, it's done sterling service over the years. Is there somewhere you can suggest for me to take it for recycling or shall I leave that to our local council centre to deal with? We're based in West Yorkshire. Thanks for a fantastic website btw, absolutely brilliant resource.
I will try and help with this problem about Bosch WFX2468GB/20 Washing Machine,
Hi Phil,
I'm glad there are responsible people like you. Yes, you could leave it for the council to pick up, but it will only go to the big crushing mill. There, appliances are crushed and the plastic, metal, and copper are separated for reuse. Sadly, some of the waste ends up in landfill.
A more environmentally friendly way to get rid of the machine is to put it up for sale on Gumtree, Facebook, eBay, or any other platform you use. Don't charge anything for it; just give it away for free. Make sure to include your model number. Many people would appreciate the spare parts from this machine. The motor alone fits many different models and costs over £200 new. The same goes for the circuit board and other components.
If I were closer to you, I would have taken the machine to recycle properly and sell the second-hand parts. But since I'm over 300 miles away, it's not practical for me.
I hope this helps and please continue your good work in protecting our environment.
