Our WM62 sounds like there is a coin or something trapped between the inner and outer drum.
Before I rush into stripping it down, I thought it best to ask. Has anyone come across this problem before and is there an easy way to get what ever is trapped in there out?Many thanks

Re: Hotpoint Aquarius WM62 coin inside?
Most washing machines you’d have a hunt around through the sump hose and heater first but to be honest taking off the front of the drum on a WM is so easy best just to do this.
Be careful not to damage the heater when taking it out/putting it back in. Also, in the trade we use a special adhesive to reseal the front of the drum back on – if you don’t have this be extra sure it’s not leaking. You may want to run a band of silicon sealant around the edge to be on the safe side :).

Well I think I’m up for the award for Jammiest person of the day. I took the top and door seal off and then decided to lean the washing machine forward (about 45°) and gently rotate the drum. Just to see if I could get it whatever was in there to slide forward so I could maybe see it. Hey presto out pops a nice shiny 5p!
Just got to get her-in-doors to put a load in and see if it cycles OK. Keep your fingers crossed for me.Many many thanks for the replies. Just glad I didn’t have to do a major strip down.
