Zanussi noisy spin cycle
Hi, I've got a five year old Zanussi that has just started making
noise during the spin cycle - it's a clackety noise, like a roulette wheel when hand spinning. When it does a spin cycle, I get a burning smell so something is obviously not right. I thought I might have something stuck between inner drum and case, but not sure how to check this. Also considered that a part might have come loose that needs checking. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Also, are there any manuals out there? I'm used to taking things apart and putting them back together, but I sometimes wonder if I'm removing a screw that shouldn't be removed! Cheers. |

Had a similar thing on my Zanussi and it turned out to be the motor. The armature? was worn in such a way as to make a clickety clackety noise with the brushes as it revolved. |

Bra wire is common in tub, take belt off to see if its motorr or drum making the noise. Peter |

Removing the brushes made the noise go away, do I replace the brushes, the motor, or can I replace a part of the motor? TIA, Heather. |

Larry Hmmm, well I'm glad I decided to have a go at fixing it myself rather than ditching it for a new one. I do like it and now that I have the proper tools, it's much easier to get inside!
