Ariston Margherita 2000 very noisey on spin

[fistycuffs]

Hi, has anyone else had this issue with their Ariston Margherita?

when it spins it becomes really noisy, its not something trapped more like it gets to a certain speed and therefore vibration and begins to bang about. I have had the back off and watched it spin and it doesn't move about that much it is like the inner drum maybe hitting the outer drum or something. at slow and very high speed it is fine. else it sounds like a diesel engine or a train going along a track like a clickity-clac. Its not the pump or the electric motor and everything else works really well.

thanks

Unbalanced load?

Sadly not, it even does it when empty, perhaps it is the bearings that have worn or somthing snapped that holds the drum in place?

Drum support snapped new drum needed. Time to scrap it.
