Default Hoover washer/dryer noise.Need some advise please.

I have a modern Hoover washer/dryer which has started to make a "scratchy" sound on fast spin. I reckon the bearings might be worn in the motor but are there any other bearings or anything else it could be? Also, where can I get the bits cheap. I'm more than capable of changing bits so I just need the parts. Oh yeah I'm in Ruislip, outer West London.

Thanking you kindly.

done a couple like this in my wanderings and most of the time the bearings are fine (although it has been known) normally it's the main drum pully distorted and belt not running true, this is probably caused by the loads being to heavy, (but must confess, I've not done my own washing in over 25 years).

take the back off the machine (normally have to remove the top first) and rotate the drum, it should be obvious.

Parts can be ordered online and as long as it's not electronic, are fairly cheap.

Cheers Mark.

Probably the drum bearings. That's what those noises normally are.

Yeah I'll have to get it out and have a look. It only happens on fast spin though. I suppose I'll have to do some more washing.
