    Hello,

    After emptying my Indesit washer dryer (model WID126) today I attempted to spin the drum slightly by hand as I would normally do to check for clothes being stuck where I couldn’t see them and found that the drum didn’t spin and instead clunked loudly.

    I couldn’t work out what was causing the clunking so disconnected the unit and opened it up. I found that there appears to be a part which is catching on the drum however I can’t see what it is as its inside what looks like the return for the dryer air. I can however see the end of a bolt which is moving as I turn the drum back and forth.

    Here’s a video to demonstrate:

    Could anyone advise what’s caused this, if it’s in easy fix and what it might cost to repair?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ben

    Remove the plastic condenser duct and you should then be able to take out the metal filter that appears to have come adrift. That should be available as a spare.
