Me i would say that after 5 years you would be better off replacing your machine as for 300 euros + tax you would have a brand new machine and would not have to worry for at least 10 years and this time of year you always start seeing washers on sale and the model that i would recomend you buying if you went to stay in the aeg brand is this one here is the link if you went to look at other models as well.

Pierre,
I guess you don't understand. We are talking about a washer/dryer combo here, not a washer. Besides that Steve is in Australia, it makes no sense to go buy a washer in Canada. I was thinking an object between inner and outer drum too. It makes sense because the machine only makes the sounds when there is water in the drum, not when there is no water that moves the foreign object around. | ||

There might be something sort of caught in the sump and rising up a bit when there is water in the machine so that it is moved by the water into a position to scrape the drum. Damn shame new machines don't have the sump strainer at the bottom of the outer tub for quick checking like Bendixes had. | ||

if washer drum has detatchable paddles you might be able to remove one to reveal an opening to inspect the outer tub. My splendide combomatic 6100 was making what sounded like a metallic scraping sound-it was just a lamination buzzing in the motor field(brushed motor)the noise stopped and hasn't returned.. | ||

It sounds like if the belt is sliping as it tumbles | ||

Would it make the metal grinding noise if the belt was slipping though? Also, if the bearings have started to go would they make a noise occasionally or all the time and just get louder over time? thanks | ||

Just a thought......
Does this machine have a brush or brushless motor? The video is a bit too quiet to tell and with AEG's having decent sound insulation I'm not sure.
Only wondering this because the sound is exactly what my Zanussi used to do when starting a tumble, esspecially with heavier loads - that had a brush motor. A few other friends of mine who have Zanussi machines make this noise too, and it dosnt seem to cause them any trouble so I personally wouldnt worry about it too much :-), thats if it does have a brush motor at least :-) When ours used to make this noise you could also see faint sparks reflecting of the ground if u were to look underneath the machine, I did phone Zanussi about that and was told that its pretty normal for brush motors to spark slightly which I already knew, but on previous washers it was never so apparent :-) Also, not to forget internally Aeg's and Zanussi's are more or less identical so it could be possible it has the same, or similar motor to what mine did :-) Hope this helps Rich | ||

the main reason for this is if i base myself on canadian appliance is because techs today are no longer intressted in fixing older machine if a canadian tech would come in and fix my washer they would tell me that i am better off buying a new machine i think thats why they charge high price for service calls.

Pierre 4 or 5 years of age is, in the majority of peoples minds, NOT an old machine....particularly that when this machine was new it would have cost more than CAD$1000.
...AND in many country's you can't go and simply replace a machine for $300 as seems to be the case in North America and possibly Canada.... | ||
