paulRe: hpt wf860
Bearing failures on machines of this age are not common, most people that ring me with a ‘Super Silent’ always seem to add NOT before I even say anything, they are very quiet until you put a load in then the suspension and overall construction lets them down. A motor, rear drum etc. 😯 on a machine fully covered by Hotpoint for parts. :rolls:
Most common cause of noises are loose concrete balance weights.
