    The bearings and belt have packed up on my washing machine, was making a horrendous noise and then just stopped turning the drum. Is it worth repairing an 8yr old washing machine and if so how much is it likely to cost?

    A set of bearings could set you back about €120, plus bearing pullers, new belt, down time etc. You could try source them yourself, and engineer will charge €50 mi to make an assessment.
    For a machine that is >5 years old - a new machine for €250.

    Bearings for €120?? We'll try and keep away from your suppliers!!

    Bearings and the seal should cost €30-40. Putting them in does not require bearing pullers but does need a rasonable amount of mechanical skill and a few tools. It takes a fair bit of time too even when you know what you're doing.

    If you can do it yourself, and the machine is in good shape besides, it's well worth doing. If you have to get a service man to do it, I would get a new one.
