Rattle on fast spin

Could you be a bit more specific as to what this "Almighty noise" is? It will help to work out where the issue actually is. Is it a thumping noise? A rattling noise? a grinding noise? A humming noise? Can you post images of the sheared off piece of metal?

sounds like the spider and drum bearing are on there way out

Hi for changing the door seal check out the video section on www.selfix-uk.co.uk there are a few videos on the wf including bearing change which also covers the door seal as well. As far as the noise in your machine it could be almost any thing...if it's a scrapping noise it may be a bra wire caught between the drum and container, if its a tapping noise it may just be loose wires hitting on the cabinet or you may have a coin between the drum and container if it's a loud rattle, you could also have something in the pump housing...it's hard to diagnose noises without actually hearing them sorry

Try turning the drum by hand from the front of the washer, if it feels rough o ris grinding or rumbling, then the main drum bearings have probably failed, also try lifting the drum up and down from the front, see if there is any movement of drum, if there is, then again it is a main bearing problem.
If all o/k, then remove the lower rear cover, and check the belt is o/k.

I would suggest you check the brushes in the motor, as it sounds like they are worn out.
Replace them if they are less than 3 or 4 mm long
This would give you the symptoms you are describing.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou.

You could have something fast between the inner and outer drum, or one or more of the drum paddles is loose..
Remove lower rear panel of washer, remove the belt, and from the front spin the drum by hand, this this will show if the drum bearings are o/k.
There should be little or no noise from the drum.
If it is rumbling, or feels rough, then the main bearings have failed.
If ther is something caught, then you will hear it catching or clicking.
Hope this helps.

Remove rear cover of washer.
Remove drive belt.
From inside the drum, spin the drum by hand, if it is noisy or feels rough, then main drum bearings have failed.
If no noise, then possibly motor bearings noisy.
Hope this helps Thankyou.

Probably drum bearing noise , call service agent for estimate.

if it fill with water then stops it is the ellement the machine first fills turns the drum then heats up the thermostat cuts in and the it emptys rinses and spins so if it does not get to temp it will stop or continue to wash forever

probably a balancing spring broken the load will go to one side of the drum when spinning.Needs to be taken care of before it rattles itself to death
