Washer-dryer makes very loud rumbling or roaring noise during spin, sometimes with visible drum wobble.

Safety: Unplug the appliance. Spinning with failed bearings can cause catastrophic damage.

• Check for play: With the door open, lift the inner drum up and down. Excessive movement or grinding indicates bearing wear.
• Listen during spin: Run a spin cycle empty and listen. A deep rumble that increases with speed confirms bearing issues.
• Plan major repair: On many AEG washer-dryers, bearing replacement requires removing the tub and either replacing the rear half of the tub with bearings pre-fitted or the entire tub assembly.
• Consider cost: Due to complexity and need for special tools, this repair is usually done by a professional or may justify replacement of the appliance depending on age.
