Hi
I have a 6 year old zanussi fjs 1425w washing machine. Never had any problems untill
today ive found little black spots over some of my clothes and a noise
that seems to be coming from the bottom of the machine, but only when you turn the drum anti clockwise.ive read some posting and belive this to be a bearing problem.
if so is it worth having it repaired, how much would it cost and could it be
done by my other half?thanks for any help

take the plug out first.
it would be worth taking the top off, then take a look at the small black rubber hose going from the soap dispenser to the top of the tub, it may have been pulled inwards by a foreign object causing it to rub on the top of the tub. it can be difficult to tell if a noise is coming from the top or bottom of the drum.
if the bearings are faulty you should feel play in the drum.
i dont think it is cost effective to to change drum bearings on these machines but i know other engineers do its not really a diy job unless you have some engineering skills.Re: Help please
