Hi, I’m hoping someone can shed some light on a problem my elderly neighbour is experiencing. When the machine spins it makes a loud whirring/grinding noise which becomes deafening on fast spin. The drum spins freely but if you do it by hand it does feel gritty. Apparantly everything else works as it should. I can’t see any loose concrete or other bits amiss. I may be wrong but suspect it’s something to do with the bearings? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have done lots of repairs on my own machine and am reasonably competant but if the diagnosis looks grim I’ll tell just to get a new machine
Many thanks in advance

Sorry forgot to add its the Hotpoint Aquarius WMA31

If and only if the machine is under 5 years old and you have kept the purchase receipt to prove it, then ring Hotpoint directly. The machine carries a 5 yr parts warranty and all you pay is the labour £89.99 to get it sorted. 😉
It needs a whole new DRUM ASSEMBLY….very costly repair otherwise at around £180 or more 😥

Martin,
Many thanks for your response. I’ll pop next door and see if I can find out how old it is, if not I’ll break the bad news to her gently!Regards
