Hi all,
I have a grand plus washing machine. It stopped spinning last night but the motor was still running, after removing the back panel and expecting to find a snapped drive belt, I found that the plastic teeth inside the drum wheel had been ground away by the metal teeth on the drum. This is the second time in 12 months that this has happened.
Is there any way to prevent this ( I realise that it might be due to overloading the machine ), I've got a replacement wheel, but before I fit it, should I lubricate the teeth in some way or is it just a case of not overloading the machine and accept that the wheel will need replacing roughly once a year
Thanks in advance
