Had it 2 years. Indesit one, out of warranty and recently it just sounds like it’s gonna take off

Well that's solved a mystery for me. That's what mine is doing

Bearings are going. You could hear ours from the bottom of the garden. Got a new Samsung and it's virtually silent (except for the lengthy tune it plays when it's finished a load and wants a round of applause).
