    Hello,
    I am new to this forum, my name is Daniel.
    I bought this washing machine 5 years ago (Indesit WG1286), recently it started to make extremely laud banging sounds during the spin drying cycle. It feels as if there is something lose inside the machine that keeps banging on the sides as it spins. When I examine it inside, i can feel the drum being loose.
    My question is, is this something I can attempt to fix on my own? I have basic DIV skills, but never fixed a washing machine before. And if not, is this something that can be fixed or I should buy a new machine? And if it does make sense to fix it, how do I find a repair person who will not rip me off?

    Thank you all very much

    The honest and simple answer is to dispose of this machine. Any recent Indesit machine that has reached five years old is at or past its ‘sell by date’ A low budget model range, sounds as though your bearings have failed or possibly your drum support has snapped.

    Don’t waste your time.

    Jim.
