Indesit WIL133 banging when spinning fast

hi
ref above i replaced the heating element which fixed things

sligh dent in back on drum from levering old one out (was hard)

new one keeps leaking water a bit – got stacks of that washing maching sealant around it but still makes it out – not a lot

but when fast spinning bangs loud

took the back panel off

still repeated banging and can’t work out where from or why

moved the belt around etc…

do they go to it though if the header is a different problem? i guess it just shows another thread has been added? jsut that last time i added a new thread to it no one answered – and when i started a new one they answered straight away….?
thanks

Re: Indesit WIL133 keeps washing unless i move it on manuall

i just replaced the heater element in the indesit WIL1300 – it was a NIGHTMARE getting the old one out even after releasing the bolt nut – it was jammed hard and took a lot of jarring, pulling, bending and the metal that lips out over the rubber seal on the element had to be bent to get in there and force it out

in contrast the new one slipped in rather too easily – i bent the lips (well top one which was the only bit i could get to) back into the rubbed but on starting the maching water leaks out and it looked like from the bottom lip/rubber side

i can try to rebend again but looking like it may need a sealant and don’t really want to use e.g. araldite as will never get it out again and i doubt vaseline will do it!

HELP!!! IDEAS ? thanks

got the new element but the old one won’t come out – managed to break a pair of pliers and dent the washing barrel so far – just won’t budge and nothing to unscrew by the looks of it either HELP!!!!

Re: Indesit WIL133 keeps washing unless i move it on manuall

just had a look – there are two wires and a small resistor looking thing with a nut that could be it? above lower puller round thing (below upper big one)

i also noticed that there is a kind of fizzy noise from the back with the machine plugged in but off on the front – put me off leaving it plugged in…?

i think i need to put a meter on those two wires and if it ‘beeps’ the element is ok and if not it is burnt out – am i right?

many thanks for all your help

Re: Indesit WIL133 keeps washing unless i move it on manuall

yes i thought that after i did it! really? the heater can cause all of that? so order a replacement one i guess…. not too expensive (it looks like a kettle element yes?)

i think i bought a meter not sure where it is and i have to be honest – i don’t know how to use one to test these things – any tips appreciated
thanks
dan
