Our 7 year old Bosch washing machine has started making a loud knocking when spinning. Closer inspection reveals that there is some play between the inner drum (with holes in it) and the outer drum. When spinning, the two knock together.
I've never taken a drum apart - what holds the inner drum in place? Surely not just the big bearing at the back?
I need to decide whether it's worth replacing whatever is broken (and the door seal, which has started leaking), or whether I should just bin the machine.
One thing is for sure - I ain't buying another Bosch washing machine. It gets used 2-3 times a week, and in it's 7 year life it has so far needed a new motor and a new solenoid valve.
TIA
