Bosch Bearing Kit
Good quality kit. Instructions not the best and had to resort to you tube for exact guidance on how to disassemble the drum. Plastic clips have to be broken off and replaced with supplied screws so fitting is a little complicated and needs caution.

Everything required to replace bearings
Although it's not a simple job, I replaced the drum and bearings on my Bosch machine. When separating the outer drum the exisiting plastic clips have to be broken off. When reassembling, the screws provided with this kit are used in addition to the existing ones, in the unused holes, to ensure a good seal. Tightening opposite screws together helps to give an even seal too. I also added some silicone sealant to the new outer drum seal before fitting. With care, tapping out and refitting the bearings was fairly straightforward, using a hammer and screwdriver/cold chisel. The end result was a working, quiet machine with no leaks!

Quality product, big job to fit
Replaced bearings on Bosch washing machine. Str*p down and beaning replacement probably took about 5 hours. Cleaning drum, soap tray and element a lot longer . . . This is a big Job, don't be fooled, you will be str*pping down the machine just about as much as you can. Luckily there was a YouTube video featuring this repair on a very similar Bosch model to the one that I was working on. I would not say it is a particularly difficult job, just time consuming and requiring patience and a reasonable amount of space to work in, and of course the tools to the job. The most time consuming part was cleaning the drum spider and heating element, which are things that should be done when the machine is in such a state of disassembly. A few days in post-repair, and a lot of catch-up washes later, the machine is working well - water tight and quiet as the day we first bought the machine. So all in all worth the trouble. Let's just hope that the repair stands the test of time.

Excellent item
Very time consuming to fit (no fault of the parts, just the job itself). Took me, a novice, around 5hrs to complete the whole job. If like me you needed to cut the tabs off the tub, I would recommend a Dremel with a cutting blade to make this job much easier than using a pair of pliers as suggested. Time required aside, good kit with all the extras required including extra screws to hold the tub together.

I have a Siemens XLM 1200 Washing machine. On the inside of the door at the top are the following number WXLM1260GB/27 FD 8412 60156. Please confirm if this kit will fit. Thank you.
Pavinder · London ·
Hi Pavinder, I can confirm this bearing kit is correct for your model.

I have a Siemens XLM 1200 Washing machine. On the inside of the door at the top are the following number WFL 2021GR/01 and D 8402 60/03. Searching for the bearing using the Siemens name fails to find the model number. Searching just the model number WFL 2021GR/01 finds your company and a Bosch washing machine. Are you able to confirm that this drum bearing will fit my machine
