Sounds to me like there a foreign object stuck in the drum…maybe a wire from a bra or something. I can’t feel anything poking out when i run my hand around the inside of the drum though
How can i safely remove this object? I already have the back off the mc but am struggling to remove the top. Going to B&Q now to get a socket set or something so I can remove the lid
Any help/advice much appreciated

Have you got that socket set yet ready?

Yeah took the lid off but still couldn’t see anything that looked out of place, think it must be something inside the drum. Not sure how to get in there
The noise only happens at the end of the cycles when the washing mc goes a bit mental. (Spin cycle?)

have you checked that the drum is rigidly mounted? open the door and try to wobble the drum sideways/up /down in the opening . if it goes significantly off-centre, the drum -support spider is broken. a tiny amount of bearing-rock is normal .
could also be a loose concrete weight.
or a sock between tub and drum.Bra-wires usually make a scraping noise, but if they catch, there’s normally significant damage to the drum-perforation that it jammed through.
stand a good torch in the bottom of the drum and if you focus, you can look through the perforations and see the outer-tub and heater…..carefully moving it about , you should be able to view the whole area.
I have , in the past, peeled the door-seal back and fished a wire through the gap with a car-mechanic’s magnet-on-a-stick…..very fiddly, but not as bad as taking the heater out on some models.
