Caress 900

[Tanky]

Hi all,

Am new to the forum, found you whilst doing a search for a problem with my, ‘Servis Caress 900 – M9090 – 990414980’.

Whilst it runs ok, when it gets to spin it makes an almighty clonking/banging noise! The wash load seems to be spread out evenly.

This is a new problem as it has been reasonbly quite (although never been very quiet) in the past. I understand from my searches on the net that this could be a drum bearing problem, if you feel this is a probable could you advise on how to check, and if neccesary removal/replacement of the bearings please? Any links to sites or handbooks that would explain both in text and pictures would be helpful.

Should I decide to replace the machine what would be your advice on a realible replacement one, I don’t use the dryer very often so would be willing to buy a washer only if you think that best, should I go down this path could you suggest a dryer that I could put in the garage for those occasions when I do need one? Sorry for the long post 😳

Hi,
these machines are usually pretty quiet. Sounds like either the top or bottom weight has come loose which is not unheard of. Top weight is ..er on the top and the bottom is below the door seal. If investigating remember …unplug and power off. Best way to check is grab inside drum and shake it. If weights you should hear a knock.
Good luck
Rob
