Hotpoint WF440 – Noisy Spin

[karlaskie]

Hi
Hoping someone can help. I have a14 month old Hotpoint WF440 which has recently started to get very noisy on the spin cycle. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this? Any help greatly appreciated

If it only makes noise at the final spin then it could be the bearings that are on their way.

Does it make sound when you turn the drum with your hand?

Bearings to go on the hotpoints is comman. they supposed to have sorted this problem out with the Wf range but it does not seems like it.

More likely to be a loose concrete balance weight than bearings on this model. One large weight on top of drum, another slung on the front of the outer drum, both prone to coming loose and causing noise. Would strongly suggest you get this attended to regardless of the source of the noise ASAP, don’t use it again until you have done so. Plug out if you intend to have a look or try the link below to see if we have someone in your area who can help.

Bearing failures on later Hotpoint machines have reduced significantly.

NB. Your machine has a five year parts guarantee so don’t go spending lots of money on bearing kits or the like, if in doubt send for Hotpoint.

Many thanks for your help.
I’ll take a look over the next few days to see if its the weights. It doesn’t make any noise when turned by hand and operates very quietly otherwise. I’ll report back if I find anything if not its on the phone to Hotpoint

Many thanks once again
