It’s not the machines, it’s the user. Constant low temp washes, especially with liquids will cause this.

Ohhh dear, not sounding good….drum bearing failure I expect, drum shaft loose? Noisy on spin too is it?

Re: Hotpoint Washer Dryer WDM73

Sounds like the alloy drum support may have broken, this will cause black marks and is a common failure when using liquids and mostly low temp washes.

Sounds like the inner drum has damaged the heater.

To be certain of the extent of the problem the WDM needs to be fully stripped down to determine the extent of the damage. Is that within your capabilities?
