Hi all. My Indesit makes an awful noise when on spin cycle, but there isn't any noise when you spin the drum by hand, nor does there appear to be any excess play in the drum.

Could it be the bearings in the motor? It's about 5 years old and gets used about 3 times a week.

Thanks

Tim

Thanks for the replies! If it was the motor, I would probably have replaced it myself.

Cheers

Hi, I checked the trap and it was clear. No concrete dust either. I guess a new machine beckons.

Thanks
