perlease! ours is making a v strange banging noise and im scared its gonna explode - anyone had any experience of pulling a washing machine apart before i go and get another one (a week after the tumble dryer had to be replaced sigh
thanks guys :D:D:D
Hi seems like your bearing for the drum is gone. I am no engineer but have some knowledge.
I concur. You can easily tell, open the machine and pull the drum. If the bearings are gone you’ll feel some free play.
Easy to replace the bearings. Need a bit of faith and memory to put everything back as it was but overall its easy.
I used to do loads of work on washing machines - check the bearings as said above, also a spring or 1 of the shock absorbers on the bottom might have broken/come un-done so when it spins with a load of washing it will clang about everywhere!
Awww poor u wee darlin this time last year my fridge freezer packed up 2 flamin days after i went shopping! had to shove all me food in neighbours fridge freezers till i could get new one delivered!:w00t: But it defo sounds like your bearings gone not to expensive to replace if you can find someone off here to help u fit them:D
aww thanks guys! I will pull the back/top off tonight and have a look - god i hope its not the bearings :crazy:
Wasp - god i know that feeling, always when you’ve just got the shopping in… grr 
This guy’s good if you’re in his area - fixed my fridge for £40 instead of me having to get a new one.

just chuck thae washing in the bath with the missus and a washboard, modern day equivalent of back to the river.
Go on then you first …then we’ll all laugh when you moan your back hurts lol:D
Jeez your brave aint ya !!! funny though 
We had a very bad noise from our last machine, when I did get it apart a bolt had sheared and the Breeze Block counter weight inside had turned back to cement. It was ultimately terminal.
a banging noise?.
maybe stop shaggin the missis on it & it should stop.

sadly my missus wouldnt know what to do, she’s happier with a spanner in one hand and the tv remote in the other lol - she would tell me to get on with it - me being the girlie one 
:w00t: what have they been telling you LMAO its all true… 
I once had an old machine which was very noisy. It turned out that two studs had snapped o nthe casing so the machine was twisting slightly asnd banging the fitted units. The solution was a couple of bolts, a drill, and two minutes of my time.
You could try Lynnes Electrical Services, 246-8 Waalworth Rd SE17 1JE, 07973 305794. Don’t know how good he is & don’t tell him where you heard about him from, he crashed his car into my bike, so probably needs the money to pay for the repairs :w00t:
oooo, I don’t think im gonna give him any money Stu - what a horrible man insert expletives here he obviously can’t drive so the chances of him fixing the washing machine get quite minimal…
