Hi just read your posting.Now from the information on your posting the machine is noisy on spin and your motor is cutting out after a short spin.Is this correct?Now does the motor cut out during a wash cycle?If the motor only cuts out during the spin cycle , and with your machine being noisy on spin,I think the fault will be your bearings are corroded.With the bearings being corroded it puts more load on the motor causing the inbuilt thermal overload in the motor to activate and turning the motor off to save it from burning out.Please reply with additional information on, if it cuts out on wash and I am sure I can help you further.
you should never use bleach in any machine as it will damage your machine beond repair.and yes i think your spot on the main bearing is gone and needs replaced.adrian,,,,
If the machine has been overloaded you may have partially damaged the coupling between the motor and the gearbox.or you may have damaged the gearbox itself...The coupling is a simple job for a tech but the other problem can be more expensive. Fortunately changing a gearbox does not take a long time. Check with a tech....Good luck....Nomess
If the machine is brand new then you should have removed the transit bolts from the back of the machine before use. If you have had it some time then you will find that the concrete counterweight on the underside of the machine has come loose and needs to be re-tightened. It can be quite awkward on some machines so if it is too indepth for you then please ask a competent person to help you.
posted by mikey b from st Helen's. after experiencing a similar fault on my wt741.i set about determined to find the cause of the noise.On spin,particularly fast spin the washing machine was making a horrendous vibrating banging noise.i eventually traced the fault to the lower concrete weight which simply needed tightening. which is held on with 4 10mm bolts.the weight can be easilyaccessed by turning the washer on its side.support the outer drum with a small block of wood against casing before lying on its side. you will need a 10mm spanner to get on bolts.hope this was helpful !
