Thanks for that, Nick ...... I've put a query thru them ...... I heard back from our Appliance man & he says spares are impossible to get & suggest replacing it with a new machine :( I will keep searching for a little while & hope something comes up! cheers & thanks for your reply Roberta | ||

Is this wot you are talking about?
Seen in thread: www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T...
If so see: www.fixya.com/support/t483565-ase... Sounds as if your bearings have gone. Not an easy DIY task but maybe can be done if your service man declines. Could also be the belt or brushes. Think you've already tried this but... take hold of the inner tub by putting hands at "12 noon and 6PM" then give a firm but strong shove up then down. Repeat at 3PM and 9PM hand positions. If the drum has major play then it is likely the bearings. | ||

I bought my mother a Cylinda 12000 new in May 1988. Fabulous machines.
I have a couple of questions about the screech. Where does/did it occur in the cycle? - during fill - during washing/rinsing action - during spin In my mind, turning something off and on again should only reset components controlled by the electronics of the machine. If it is a bearing or similar issue, the noise should continue as soon as the machine is restarted or almost immediately after. From memory, these machines had a 'brake' that would activate if you lowered the outer door whilst the machine was spinning or prevent the spin from occurring if it was lowered during other parts of the cycle. It may be worth investigating this angle as a potential cause of the issue as ASEA machines are not known for doing their bearings, though I do acknowledge it's nearly 30 years old. | ||
