Customer Question

I have a fairly old Siemens XLM 1400 washing machine which is leaving oil / grease marks on my white bedding. This has been happening for quite a long time now despite putting cleaners through the machine.

Hi Viv,

this sounds like the seal on the drum bearings, if you machine is noisy on spin then it is definitely the bearings on the drum i will need full model number of the id plate to find the parts for you. there is a video below to help you.
