Hi I hope someone can help, I have had my hotpoint ultima now for 2yrs and today it has started making an awful grinding noise, when starting the machine and during the cycle, the clothes still wash fine and the drum goes round fine, I haven\\\'t lost any loose bra wires and there was no noise on the drum when I turned it, does anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Either something caught between the inner & outer drums, worn bearings or broken spider.
If you tip the machine forward against a wall with the power off you can remove the sump hose from the underside of the machine and check for debris. Its easier to see debris by removing the element but there are a sod to get back in on these machines

If its bearings/spider you need an enginner, expect to pay £100-£180

Please note forum rule 9
 
Thankyou for your help, it was a lolly stick stuck in the pipe, machine works wonderfully again now :D
