Mend White Knight Cl 382 Wv

Replacing a drum bearing, white knight CL 382 WV?

White Knight compact tumble dryer CL 382 WV.
My dryer has started making a noise whilst the machine is operating. I wonder, from the type of rotational noise, if the drum bearing is likely to be the problem and if so is it an easy enough job to perform? I have started to dismantle (the kidney shaped cover is off) at the back and before I continue removing even more of the hundreds of screws some guidance or an exploded parts diagram would be a help. When I turn the fan from the rear the noise appears to be coming from the rear of the drum area. Or could it be the drive belt? thanks in anticipation, Robert

there is no bearing as such on this model.remove fan by holding motor shaft and then remove whole back panel and have a good look at wear as they can get in a bad way sometimes due to being constantly overloaded!
if fan removal proves difficult remove drivebelt from motor pulley by accesssing throught the base.remove screw from back panel and pull it away at the top and you can JUST lift drum out through the top of the cabinet with a good pull.This way you can get a good look inside
