Loose components... Not an expert on Neptunes, but if something like this happens most likely something got loose. Is it just the comforter that causes this behavior or every load since then? | ||

Every load since Seems to get louder...I'll have to take the back panel off in a few days and have a look. | ||

You did check to make sure the machine is level and each of the feet are firmly planted on the floor? That is the machine isn't rocking on one of the legs when it hits the 800 RPM spin speed. I believe there is a recent (within the last few months) thread on this topic. | ||

Sounds like a suspension issue to me
Once you know the machine is level. I would look to see if one of the shocks is leaking or froze up. I have seen this in a friend's Laundromat where a machine had a suspension failure @1000 RPM and it knocked the front panel loose and bent the side cabinet. A good indicator of this would be if the drum is tilted or not level in the door boot as was the case in this SQ.

check the suspension parts as well as the balance ring.....
just to be correct...according to my brochures and literature from inside the machine....these spin at 1000 rpm....not 800.... max extract option just increases the time, and also increases to the higher speed if using permpress, or gentle/handwash cycles... | ||

you might want to try a load with the front off, keep the door on and closed as normal, you don't need the screws in place, it will run fine for a test like this....and also keep the top up, and maybe the back panel off...and try to observe if anything is out of place or loose, like wiring....you will be surprised at how much bouncing goes on inside....but your looking for something excessive....
depends too on what you may be washing at that moment.....things like sheets can ball up, or items get trapped into the pockets and throw the balance off....sometimes the machine will back off to compensate... keep us posted....we'll get you back on track.... those struts pull out of those suspension post.....its possible, the springs inside could be worn or broken......just keep an eye for loose play or favoring to one side rather than staying even.... | ||
