Hi, I have noticed that there is a grinding noise coming from the machine when is use!
I have removed the panels and disconnected the belt from motor to back of drum. Noise is still there when I spin the drum. I noticed there were also one or two little fragments of metal under the machine when machine was pulled out.
I suspect it may be that the drum bearings have worn!!
I was about to undo the drum pulley bolt and investigate further but thought I should ask ye guys first.
If it is a case that bearings are gone what is the best way of removing drum pulley. There is an "allen key bolt" holding on pulley. Is the drum pulley bolt a left or right thread etc???
Any help would be brill.
