Terrible noise from drum and burning smells

[kwiatks]

Washing machine was making a terrible noise (like inner drum hitting the outer one due to unbalanced load) – I didnt have time to get to the machine before the drum stopped (now misaligned) and a small amount of smoke came out from the machine. Drums is for sure misaligned but the bearing I replaced recently is intact. I suspect the drum hit the side and the motor kept going and maybe is burnt out. Also when pump is operating there is a grinding noise like there is something inside it. Hopefully the pump is broken rather then motor but it looks easiler to change the motor. Model is AEG Oko-Lavamat 61300.

Any further ideas welcomed

Hi kwiatks,

There’s only two ways really that the drum is going to be “misaligned” as you put it and that’s either the bearings have collapsed or the drum is physically damaged in some manner, usually the support spider bust in some way. Depending on the damage, which you’ll only really know once it’s opened up, it is very possibly as Martin says, scrap. 😕

I had replaced the bearings a few week ago but one of the bolts on the spider unit came out and so mis-aligned the drum – have put it all back again and spinning is the only issue. If no load at all can spin to the max value (1100) but if just a few items in the drum the a big banging noise is heard. Really don’t want to take it all apart (for the 3rd time !!!) and spinning to 400 rpm is just about OK. Probably new machine needed or whole drum hence the other question I have on the ISE10 in this forum

Ah right, I missed the other post, sorry. 😳

Sorry, it’s been one of those days today where time has just escaped me.

The ISE10 is suffering a delay at the moment due to some picky customs people, I dunno, something about international terrorism and holiday closures getting in the way which of course I’m just over the moon about! :angry4:

I’m hoping to have a definitive delivery date on the ISE10’s this week and, if I don’t, there’s a serious danger that some nasty typing and a contract or two might get invoked. That said, we know that they are made, sat in packing and good to go.

As soon as I have concrete info I’ll post it, but I’ll be perfectly honest, my old Blomberg in disguise as a Brandt has been on its last legs for the past few months and of course knowing that the ISE10 was around the corner, I’ve held off on changing it waiting on these coming in. Quite honestly, IMO, anything else really is a compromise in terms of performance and efficiency. So my better half can struggle on for a little longer with the Brandt that takes hissy fits. The ISE10 will outlast the ~7 years from the Blomberg by just a tad… like about almost three times.

Re: Terrible noise from drum and burning smells

Thanks kwatt – latets update on my machine is that at 400 rpm there is a big knocking noise – think it is from the inner drum hitting the outer but it might be the concreate block – I can only see the top of the machine and can see some concreate but haven’t figured out how to gain access to the underneath section (maybe from the front ?).

Any thoughts apprecated from anyone.

Our washing machine is used daily and we might hold on to get an ISE10 if they are coming soon.
