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 .

Phoning around today, this what everyone says. One guy says they don't even bother trying to check for bearings in most machines because they're such a pig to get into.
Mental - apparently a large appliance is a single use item because of something that could probably be made to be easily replaceable

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?
