I've done the bearings myself in the past. They often don't last long. When I looked into a pro doing it many years ago the labour for the job meant it wasn't worth it.

I'm hoping it's repairable rather than a throwaway
As @Airhead said I suspect this is only economically viable for high end machines. If it's a Miele they do a service where they will come and try and fix it, but if they can't you get the callout charge deducted from the cost of a new machine (with them).

My last washing machine noise turned out to be a junior hacksaw blade (!) trapped in the tight bend of the drain/sump and was dragging along the outside of the drum. Worth checking just in case it's something similar as a potentially easy fix?

We had this - screaming banshee type sound - I took the motor out and took it to euronics shop Rayners Lane - guy put it on a test bed and said he has no idea - probably a bearing or brush issue and a new motor would be more than a new machine. I was surprised how simple it was go take the motor out - it was a low range Bosch .

My washing machine is making horrible noises, like there's a bearing that's shot or something. It crunches like a knackered headset when you turn it by hand, and sounds like it's going to explode when it's spinning.
I'm hoping it's repairable rather than a throwaway - has anyone got a recommendation for a repair chap in West London?
