    My mother in laws 10 year old Lavamat makes a horrendous banging/hammering noise at top end of fast spin. After a battle to extricate the brute I have had little opportunity to examine it fully. However the bearing seems Ok as does the spider and pulley. A faint acrid smell was also noticed. On the one test run I carried out I noticed that the continuous hammering was reduced if I moved the left suspension leg forward. Any body any suggestions please or is it fit only for the great srapyard in the sky?

    Have you checked that the concrete weights are secure?

    Phidom. Thanks for suggestion. I visited the mother in law only to find that she had taken herself off and ordered a new machine. I didn’t get the opportunity to see if the weights were a problem or not. I just called in to her house and examined the Lavamat that was sitting in the driveway. It has a sealed bottom and I didnt have time or inclination to remove the back again. So I will never know what the fault was.

    Yes another machine goes to the great scrapyard inthe sky.

    What a waste

    Thanks again for help
