Hoover washer/dryer noise.Need some advise please.

Cheers Ablaze. Hoover said they'd fix it for 100 quid all in if I find the proof of purchase but as it came with the flat I bought 4 and a half years ago I can't see that happening. They quoted 130 quid just for the parts. I'm game for repairing my own stuff but not 8 hours and 130 quid game. I'll try and get new seperates I think. Bit of drilling and sawing should see a nice space above my boiler for a cheap tumble dryer. It won't be a condenser type though. They take for ever!

Razor if you look very carefully there should be an unsubscribe button somewhere.

The demise of your vacuum cleaner?

This week my blender and George Foreman packed up in sync, my vacuum needs a new hepa filter and my external hard drive decided it had had enough too.

I think its got something to do with the moon.

On the plus side my washer is OK. Its a Zanussi if you're interested. Even if you're not, its a Zanussi.

This was a useful thread for those, like me, who might attempt to repair their own washer before calling a man to correct the bodge, then fix the original fault.

had the same noise on ours, brand new hoover. Guess what it was the wire out of a bra that got between the holes of the drum and got stuck, so when drum spun fast it was a scratching noise.
Probs be the same as yours hopefully, cheap fix, but new bra needed

Thanks but it's definately the bearings.

You could always try a washing line stretched across your apartment.
