Washing machine making load noise on spin

[thesendiaries]

I've had the filter out and there is nothing there.
It's not draining or spinning but when I put it into test mode it did spin but with an awful noise.

Anyone any ideas as I'm currently surrounded by wet washing

Broken motor?

Ugh possibly.
I'm guessing that's not cheap :(

Could be the bearings, they go after a certain number of washes I think.
I've been in that position - wasn't funny.
Good luck !

Yup, bearings are the most likely problem.

Bugger.

Does it smell a bit burny? Probably dying

Is it the crackling/a load of metal marbles being chucked about noise?

No smell.
It's hard to explain. Like a crackling noise yes I think!

uneven load/heavy bathtowels or duvet covers mixed with lighter items.
that sort of thing will make a washing machine sound like the end of the world,heavy wet on one side of tub lightweight wet on otherside.
will do it on spin and sometimes wash

It needs a repair. It's just a matter of time before it dies on you if you ignore it. Been there ignored that.

Yep. Mine did this and needed a new motor.

yup bearings or brushes, best not to use it as it could start leaking a bit of grease / oil which could stain your wash. call out your repair person for a quote

Could be bearings but also maybe the belt has slipped and or is wearing thin That would be relatively cheap fix
