Brand new Beko VM 7043 CW squeaking, LOUDLY! :(

[sherbie]

Got this Beko VM 7043 CW yesterday. I’m really freaking out, and their helpline isn’t open til Monday. Hope someone can help!

Basically, I did 40 deg load yesterday. I noticed a bit of noise, but thought it might be a zip or something, you know?

I washed a duvet set this morning, on 60 deg. I went into the kitchen as it was starting to spin, and noticed a squeaking noise, and a few other noises. I panicked, but thought maybe the other things had gone inside the duvet cover, and made the load uneven or something. I dunno…

So I’ve now got another duvet set in there, on 60. I buttoned up the duvet cover, and was freakishly perfect when I loaded it, to ensure nothing was near the door, it was even etc. The noise is even louder, and is doing it as it’s washing.

I’m on the verge of tears, as I was so excited. Yes, it’s pathetic, but there we go! I really hope it’s something simple, and not something wrong with the machine.

Here’s a short vid of it…

It’s defo getting louder.

I removed the transit bolts, and the machines not wobbling or anything. It sounds like it’s coming from inside it. Is this sort of thing to be expected with a new machine? Do they need to settle in or something? Or is it broken already?!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi

Have you made sure you removed all of the packaging, some have polystyrene foam blocks underneath by the motor that people forget to remove.

Elo,

thanks for the reply! So, erm, yeah, LOL, all the above hysteria? Yeah, it was over a bit of polystyrene! We did wonder if it could be that, but we just looked underneath, on the floor. There was a massive bit up inside the machine that we had no idea about! Thanks so much for the reply. Who knew they’d plonk a bit up there, eh?! Well, apart from everyone on here!

Here’s a pic of what to look for if anyone stumbles on this via google. It was front left, up inside the casing of the machine.
