Hi.
My 14 year old FP smart drive started making slightly different noises during the spin cycle and shortly after I noticed that there was a puddle underneath. After checking the hoses and connections for dripping, I moved the machine and found a dinner plate sized rusty circle under the machine with obvious drip marks. I’ve assumed main bearing but I thought I would ask for opinions first. Would rather fix than replace. The spin cycle has been as efficient as ever, just a different slightly grating sound.
