Hi Dave thanks for your pic yesterday invaluable help. Finally got it done after very carefully taking it apart all morning. I hope what I found was the offending item a bit of plastic wrapped round one of the blades. Will only know once I put back together link to pic thanks again. Will let you know if it works. Saved a fortune if it does.

at 3 years old its should be well worth it as smegs are a bit above average in quality

as long as the rest of the machine is on it will be fine

but theres no guarentee

have you got a model no ?

Dave

Model is WDF147X

Thanks Dave. Just as an aside would it be easier to replace or to fix in your opinion.
