Some googling tells me this is likely to be the drum bearings. We inherited the machine with the house so no idea how old it is. It’s covered DH’s new football top so it looks like he’s been doing mechanics and he’s understandably a bit upset. Can I ask a) am I likely to be able to remove these marks? Currently it’s soaking with a dishwasher tab and some vanish while I’ve got the machine on a hot wash with soda crystals etc (have cleaned filter and seal)
b) what machine would you folk recommend? We’re a family of four so doesn’t need to be heavy duty. I just want a decent machine that will do the job!
