Re: A Very Noisy Hotpoint WF541
Considering this one, does it have the dreaded sealed drum?
BOSCH WAE24364GB

or maybe the BOSCH WAE24164GB which I believe is the same as the one above just without the LED display.
Re: A Very Noisy Hotpoint WF541
Having just had another look at the machine if I open the door and lift the internal metal drum from the inside there is about 10mm lift in the bearing as measured from the front of the drum. I am actually nervous about using it any more in case the bearing completely fails in a catastrophic manner which it sounds like it is close to when on a high spin.
Would a engineer be able to repair this fault?
Is it even worth getting back to hotpoint to book the engineer?
If I’m going to have to buy a new machine then recommendations, Bosch has a good name on these forums?
Many thanks.
Re: A Very Noisy Hotpoint WF541
Let me expand on what I would have to pay out to Hotpoint for them to attemp a fix on the machine:
£99 for an engineer to come out which he will fix if possible. If not he walks away with the money and leaves me witha broken machine.
or
£160 in instalmants over the year, the engineer attempts a fix and then if unsuccesful cancels the subscription and again leaves me with a broken machine.
Thinking it may be worth biting the bullet and getting a new machine.
