Hotpoint WT41 sounds like its got rocks in it

Hi,

My washing machine has started playing up, whereby it spins but it sounds like its throwing boulders about not my favourite pair of jeans

Ive done a bit of research and by the sounds of it "if" its the bearings then its a complete drum replacement rather than a bearing swap - is this true or is it model dependant?

The sad thing is its almost just as cheap to buy a new machine as it is a new drum - Ive had this one for seven years without any issues.

Here is a video of it in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-PQNrHj88c&feature=youtu.be

Thanks

On some Hotpoint machines you can replace the bearings, and others you can only replace the whole drum/tub assembly as the tubs are bonded together and can’t be split.

You therefore need your full model no. checked to be sure.
(or you can check your tub to see if you have any tub bolts holding it together)
