The BAD news: It is out of hubbies pocket, he’s been DIY’ing again and left a bit out of that Ikea flatpack I reckon. 😉

Thanks Martin

I am pleased to say that the washing machine is on and working wonderfully!!

I think hubby AND daughter may have a bit to answer to lol

Feeling a bit stupid now asking about the bracket – but if you don’t know … you don’t know 😳

Just pleased the problem is solved and I will have something clean to wear to work tomorrow lol

Thank you for your help 🙂

Hopefully you’ll be able to set my mind at rest lol Hubby is sure it has nothing to do with the washing machine, but always best to be safe 🙂

Re: Hotpoint Aqualtis – scraping noise

Hi – me again.

Well, the bracket thing easily came out and I have moved the drum around and no noise!!

My only concern now is that this is something that has come off the washing machine – so I am worried to use it!! haha Why couldn’t it have been a coin or a bra wire!!

Re: Hotpoint Aqualtis – scraping noise

Hi,

Hubby called it an inspection panel?? On the back of the washing machine … I have no idea sorry lol

He has gone for some fresh air lol BUT I ‘think’ I may have found the problem??

Between the rubber tubing and the drum, there appears to be a small L shaped bracket that is loose and it is causing the scraping noise. My problem now is it something that has been accidently put in with the wash somehow …. or is it a part that is supposed to be fixed to the machine???

Re: Hotpoint Aqualtis – scraping noise

Hi Iadom,

Thank you for your advise 🙂

I take it he would need to remove the back panel, he has managed to remove the ‘inspection’ panel – looked and didn’t have a clue so put it back on lol It is really hard to find any information on this model :/
