Washing Machine Bangs when Spinning from time to time

[Dan]

Hi,

A friend told me to come here to ask about an issue I have with my washing machine.

Only happens every now and again, but it seems to bang and grind a bit when doing it's fast spin. What can I do to check it or is it time to replace the old thing?

Maybe the shockers have gone are the concrete blocks moved. More in the realms of a domestic appliance engineer.

Give it 5 minutes and everyone will be throwing abuse at him. Then croppie can ban him and close the thread. Just another night on ukpf!

Washing machine is like 10 years old. So delivery bolts are out yeah.
I'd asked on facebook and a friend sent me here. You guys should stick a suggestion in to the owner to see if an appliances section would be of use as there doesn't seem to be one.

Abuse: used to it.

Should I take the top off and give it a spin see if there's anything loose? Or am I not allowed to do that?
