Abstract

The invention relates to a washing dryer with a drum (10) which is rotatably mounted and which may be rotated, which is additionally guided in the vicinity of the intake side by means of rollers (15) which are supported on the drum shell (14) and which are rotatably mounted by means of bearing axes in a casing portion (11) surrounding the intake opening. The bearing is simplified with simple means and in addition permanently lubricated, in that the bearing axle is in the form of a hollow axle (20) which is C-shaped in cross-section, and into which there is inserted in the vicinity of the bearing bore (17) of the roller (15) an oil-saturated felt block, in that the felt block projects out of the hollow axle and is resiliently supported on the bearing bore of the roller, in that the roller is positioned axially on the hollow axle by means of two securing members (30), and in that the securing members are provided with retaining projections (32), which project through apertures (26) in the hollow axle (20), into said axle, and axially secure the felt block (40).
