Hi all , got the above machine which has developed a knocking sound.
I’ve listened inside and out ( had the back off) , doesn’t sound like anything between drum and casing (no sliding sound).
It’s a cross between a knock and low loud creak if that makes sense. On spinning the fly wheel the sound is in same place each time. No major movement in drum and seems to run freely. Noise definitely seems to be coming from the center.Creaky bearing?
Cheers for looking
D
I had a noise that I thought was mechanical or something in the drum on my Gorenje machine (link) and it turned out to be a slipping belt. However I couldn’t get it to do it when turning the drum by hand so it may not be the case on yours. It might however be worth removing and refitting the belt to see if the drum position that makes the sound changes.
Thanks Tubafan , will give that a go.
Is there a knack to get the belt back on to the correct tension?Cheers

DamesAssuming its like my Gorenje it’s an stretch rubber belt so there’s no tension adjustment. Dave’s (@electrofix) suggestion about the pulley sounds more likely to be the issue though.
Hair line crack in a spider arm near the center hub? Or crack in plastic tank surrounding bearing tube?
