It has started making horrible noises when spinning and leaks water like a faucet. Stupid machine!

It seems to be the drum spider has collapsed. First i thought it was the bearings but it doesnt seems right. Probably has some parts of the metallic spider made hole in the outher drum and thats why it leaks everywhere.

I,m thinking what new machine i will buy. Hopefully something reliable. I cant afford a Miele but maybe Samsung. or something. Whats the genaral opinion about these?

Oh. i filmed three clips of my broken machine. First video. The wash.

Update.

 Because the machine leaked alot from the pumphouse i removed the lint filter and checked there. There was alot small metallic pieces in there. My guess is that they are from the drum spider. Any other guesses?

Now the machine doesnt leak from there anymore. It still leaks from other places though.

I have visited or machine store. I will not buy Hotpoint-ariston or Hoover. What else is ok you think?
