    My washer dryer just died with a bang! The cycle finished but small particles of metal and what looks like concrete came out the bottom. I tilted the machine and the component is a brittle composite – red/brown in colour. Does anyone even know what the component is?

    Thanks for reading.

    Sounds like front counter weight has broken not a DIY job but not that expensive to have repaired

    Thanks for the reply. The component did not seem to be that heavy – like your normal concrete block in a machine.

    When you said it went bang did it blow a fuse, does it still work, and what was the metal possible dryer duct broken up it goes around the front counter weight

    These counterweights are made up of small metal balls which has been bonded together withsome type of resin. Had a rear one break up once. Lools like coffee granules when they break up.
