Re: 10 – Drumming
I think she may have a point though. 😥

I have tried to find the source of this noise, it is definitely coming from the drum group, it is not the cabinet. Very difficult to pin down when its whizzing round at 1600 rpm.Re: 10 – Drumming
That was something I considered. The heater appears to be sound and looking through the holes in the drum I could see no signs of damage.
Might be worth trying it without the heater in situ though. ❓
yes that sounds like a genuine fault, metal to metal vibration rather than an OOB load to me.
Just ideas but could it be coming from the suspension legs, does it stop if you hold them while spinning?,is the element loose or come off support bracket, is one of the motor mounting bolts loose?. Excessive play in the drum, cross piece loose, vibrating?
difficult to identify but good luck

The thing is, there is so little room to get your hands inside to get a grip on anything when it is spinning ( quite apart from the obvious danger of trying) and I have pulled, poked and prodded everything I can think of.
I am sure its not the sus legs, definitely in or on the drum itself.

I have tried to find the source of this noise, it is definitely coming from the drum group, it is not the cabinet. Very difficult to pin down when its whizzing round at 1600 rpm.I recognise that noise as my ISE 10 was doing similar.
The noise was traced to the drum pulley moving on the splines at high revs and making an incredible knocking noise.
New pulley fitted and no further probs.Steve.
Re: 10 – Drumming
Thanks for that Steve, will check that out on my next visit as well.
This one is only really noisy when it has a slightly OOB load in it, empty it is perfect, I would have thought the pulley would be noisy regardless of load. 😕

Re: 10 – Drumming
Jim that has to be a foreign object!
front plate off and find the evidence mate.You know the lifters are easily removed to get access as well, no need to look through the holes in the drum, its in the user instrcution book.
Re: 10 – Drumming
Thanks Mark, I am trying to arrange a further visit but she is a senior nurse and works funny hours.
The noise sounds to be something fixed to the drum rather than something loose inside, would it be possible for something to have hit the heater or its retaining bracket and bent them out of shape ?
I did know about the lifters and that was going to be my first area of inspection, watch this space. 😉

Re: 10 – Drumming
Well, I went back to this machine this afternoon. Took out a drum lifter and had a look round. No sign of any foreign body, heater appears perfect and quite secure.
Replaced lifter, removed heater and placed a small load of dry towels to give an uneven load. Set it to spin and it was fine, no undue noise whatsoever. Physical examination of the heater reveals nothing, no dents, bends or marking of any kind.
Refitted heater ( not the easiest one to get back in ). Removed a drum lifter and was just about able to get the end of a medium sized, flat bladed screwdriver to touch the top of the heater retaining bracket, gave the driver a couple of gentle taps and observed that the bracket had bent down a little against the heater.
Set to spin with same load of towels, bingo….no horrible rattling noise. 8) 😀 8)
One gold star for Tim. 🙂

Re: 10 – Drumming
Sadly the customer is still complaining of noise however it seems that it may not be an isolated incident. 😉

What was the outcome on this??
I have read this thread in detail and have listened to the sound and the one i have is doing the same.
Did you try a drum pulley?Dave
Re: 10 – Drumming
The machine was exchanged before I got a chance to try the pulley, not sure what happened to the displaced appliance?
