Possible Causes

Bra wire or coin trapped between drum and tub, Damaged drum lifter (paddle), Worn Hisense drum bearings, Broken spider arm causing drum to rub

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal inspection.

  • Inspect drum interior: Check the drum holes and lifters for protruding objects. Remove any visible foreign items.
  • Check door seal gap: Gently pull back the door gasket and look into the gap between drum and tub for trapped objects. Carefully remove with pliers if accessible.
  • Spin test: Rotate the drum by hand. If grinding persists and no object is found, bearings or spider may be failing.
  • Professional repair: Bearing or spider arm replacement on Hisense combos usually requires tub disassembly and should be done by a qualified technician.
