just flip belt off it a stretch belt

sounds like bearing failure though

bad new though its one of the dreaded sealed tubs so complete unit only
but only looked up a random one as I have not got the last 2 digits of the Enr

Bosch price £226

the sealed tub are no where near as reliable as the un sealed ones

Hi there Dave, I have the same washing machine and I suspect I have a bearings problem with a very loud grinding noise on full spin.
You can hear it here… http://descry.co.uk/Excell8-Washing-Machine.mp4

You say that the drum enclosure is a sealed tub… Do you mean it’s a hard moulded seal that won’t go back together if you crack it open?
Any workaround with it? Or is it just a full new drum assembly required? Because the bearings themselves are WAY cheaper!

If that’s the case, I might just plum for a new washing machine as the price of the new drum is almost as much!
Could you recommend a good washing machine like the Bosch one that comes with an unsealed drum assembly for future repair possibilities!

Many thanks,
Simon.
