So... A friend has this machine at his house. There are 3 other people using the machine. It has worked fine until a few days ago. When spinning it makes a horrible noise. The question is what the problem is.

I made a video of the machine spinning. In the end of the video i had to turn of the machine cause it started smelling burnt. No smoke but a strong burnt smell.

hope it helps Owin :)

Ooookay... we did try let the machine spin with a full load. The results? The motor seized. God that screexh hurt our ears. Anyway. I have promised the friend that i will try to repair the machine.

Holy mother of God... That did not sound healthy at all..

I'd probably just replace the machine...

We have checked the bearings so far. They seem to be fine. I have been thinking if something have got stuck between the drum and the inner tub. Might be tricky getting it out if thats the case.

Hmm. Maybe its better as Qualin said to buy new machine instead.

We,ll see.

It must be something wrong with the motor, as you said the drum moves freely by hand, so something can;t be stuck between the drum, otherwise it would have jammed completely.
Have you tried using the machine since? Does it work?

The owner of the Aeg has bought a new machine. We tried using a last time and smoke started seeping from the backside. I do belive there was a fault with the motor, because it sounded awful even without clothes.

What is it? Will you be recycling the old one?

The new machine he bought is a Asko. Made in Sweden. The store guy who installed the new one machine took the older machine for recycling. Also, i dont work anymore with recycling machines.

I do hope he is happy with the Asko and it will work longer than the Aeg.
