Zanussi inner drums are prone to coins, nails, buckles and zip fasteners getting lodged between the the inner drum lip and the outer tub. The only cure is to remove the complete drum and dismantle in order to remove the foreign object!

The “fluff” very often in these cases is grey coloured plastic swarf that has been scratched off the outer drum by the offending object!
Re: zanussi drum making a noise
thanks martin so the only way is a complete strip down a fair big job what woud you say 2 to 3 hrs could run into a fair amount which some people are not willing to pay no handy way to check to try and remove the problum the casing has to be split and then the tub removed and split and then you dont know if the tub is damaged from all the scoring as you say the fluff like stuff is coming from the tub 😕 fasetester
Re: zanussi drum making a noise
In most cases the only thing that suffers in these cases it that the belt gets shredded. I’ve had 6 inch nails caught in the drum before now and no problem to dismantle. They don’t usually puncture the drum as a rule by the way. Worth a go and a good money earner for no more than 2 hours work (tops I’d say) 😉
Re: zanussi drum making a noise
the case has to be split and then the tub removed from the case and split to get at the inner drum what kind of money would you charge fot that job if you dont mind me asking you thanks fasetester 😳 thanks

No! You’ve got it all covered there I would think? 8)

Anyone else and I would think I was being wound-up here? And Mystic Meg I ain’t, but as I said before, the belt might need replacing?
P.S By the way, you never did give me the model number so I’m assuming it is a 2 halves plastic drum model that we are talking about?
Re: zanussi drum making a noise
sorry martin for getting you rattled so is things that bad mystic meg is doing appliance repair now by the way the number i got was 1245w thanks 😉 fasetester

No but I use her occasional for spirtual guidance 😆

Ah well that will be the F1245W I expect, in which case all of the above applies and it’s a fairly easy job to do on that model. 😉
Re: zanussi drum making a noise
if washing is all covered in fluff if MIGHT have shredded a sock etc shine a torch into the drum if you can see a suspect hold it in place with a small screwdriver and turn the drum to move it to the top and remove the breather hose and pull it out. failing that…………….. tub out …………easy job!

Re: zanussi drum making a noise
thank again for your help martin and wilf i went to see the machine and it was jammed tight but when i got it to move the drum had a lot of play and the lady said when it spun you would think it was full of gravel ball bearings rattling she said she would go for a new machine 🙂 fasetester

What a pity the lady didn’t tell you that in the first place? :rolls:
Re: zanussi drum making a noise
she thought there was some thing jammed in the drum as it was jammed tight only when i released it and i told her it was the bearings she said when it was spinning you would think it was a plane taking off win some loose some thats the way this game is 🙂 fasetester
