Verwijder de snaar.
Als de trommel nu nog vast loopt dan zit er wat tussen de trommel en de kuip.
Schijn met een lamp door de gaatjes van de trommel in de kuip en kijk wat je aan kleding of zoiets ziet zitten.
Laat even weten wat er tussen zit, de uitleg hoe je het dan moet verwijderen volgt.

Hi, i think something between the drum is blocking it turning.
You can remove the heater from the back and have a look inside the machine, sometimes a small clothingpart like a sock is between the drum and the outside.
Another possible thing is that the arms of the washingdrum is broken, you can check that by trying to uplift the drum at the front. If so, better go shopping today.

Cheers both of you for your replies! i have had a closer look today and the belt has fallen off, what is the best way to get into there put it back on? i thought maybe i would have to remove the counter-weight to access it? any suggestions? :D

cheers once again!!!

I have replaced the belt, but it is now making a bad noise when the drum rotates, i think the bearings need to be replaced? what parts will i need to purchase from the shop and also do you know where i can find a drawing/instructions on replacing the bearings?

thanks

Hi does anyone know which parts i need to purchase when replacing the bearings? i heard maybe i need seals also? and also does anyone know where i can find instructions or photos of how to do so?

much appreciated :)

Please continue in the topic you started.

If the outside of the waterdrum is made of polycarbonate, it will be very hard to replace the bearrings, the outside drum must be splitted and is a tough job to replace it all and make it again waterproof.
If the machine is older then 7 years and/or much used ( 5 or more each week), is my advice to better buy a new one as this will be very hard to fix.
I know many colleges and none will advice this to do, that is IF this machine has a NONMETAL outside drum.
