Re: Bosch Maxx WFL2260 – Rapid tapping when spinning

If anyone’s still interested here are a couple of videos of the rogue washer! The first shows washer at full speed.
Find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMSwXoQmWrw and the next, just after the spin cycle has clicked off is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLcQy0Zt9bQ
Earplugs required for first video!

Re: Bosch Maxx WFL2260 – Rapid tapping when spinning

Thanks for all the ideas. I think Steven is on the right track when he mentions suspension legs. I presume these are what I referred to as the two shock absorbers. They’re attached to the drum and go out at an angle to each side and are bolted to the machine floor. The loud click comes from this area when I gently sway the entire unit inside to the right. It’s as if the strut makes the noise as it is forced sideways. However, I will check those locking nuts! The strut fitting to the drum looks a bit complex – a sort of pin arrangement with a plastic dome covering one end – could this be a special tool job?

Thanks guys. The concrete weight is secure and not suspect. The motor turns smoothly when I turn drum using the spider, and runs smoothly on wash cycle. By spider I presume you mean the spoked wheel at the back of the drum which houses the drum spindle. I can reproduce the knocking noise by gently rocking the drum assembly from side to side, using the concrete block as a handhold. Will sort out a video for YouTube.
