Yep! I too wouldn’t mind betting the sealed drum assembly (41022796) has taken a dive! :rolls:

Best way to tell, whilst its empty of clothes and just tumbling is that if the stainless drum nearest the door boot wobbles slightly off true…then it’s a gooner. The good news is that if that is the case Comet can sort it for just £99………..oh yes! 😈

Slightly off topic. Went to a Bosch WFK6010GB/03 with similar problem today. Could not find any fault other than cable ties securing harness to motor had broken away leaving harness hanging loose. I thought this might cause a wobbly tacho connection and re-attached the harness. There was a couple of mm. play in drum though and a faint knock was audible on empty spin. I could not determine if this was bearings or shaft wear. If bearings, could turn out to be a nice earner and pleasant experience a few months hence. If shaft, it’s going to be BER as drum is £174 + usual from wholesaler. Found sticker inside indicating date of manufacture as 1989.
