    Hi. Hope someone may have come across this despite the washing machine being not very old, a few years.
    To jog memories this machine has 2 suspension legs on the left and one on the right and is fitted with an induction type motor with what looks like a clutch or a brake drum but has a normal flat belt not a V belt.
    Problem is a loud ticking noise on spin and it seems to come from the left hand side. Thought it might have been the chassis cracking under the front one of the two suspension legs where it is bolted to the chassis aka indesit style but nothing seems cracked here. On spin and with a fair sized normal load the machine does not shake about or go for a walk but makes this ticking noise and I noticed that, looking from the rear with the back off that the rear to front chassis member to which the suspension legs are attached don`t half flex! Perhaps not butch enough metal? To me it all sounds like a chassis weld gone to pot anyone ever had anything similar on one of these Bekos? If you press down on the top concrete weight the noise goes away. Had all suspension legs off but nothing seems wrong here. Any ideas please?

    Theres a large diode mounted on side near the motor, perhaps its loose or theres an electrical crack out of it.
    Also take a look at bracket that mounts the capacitor near cable intake, sometimes it cracks during spin if broken.

    UPDATE. Nope. Seamy the chassis spot weld had gone.
