Washer-dryer makes very loud rumbling or grinding noise during spin.

Safety: Unplug before inspection. Do not continue using the machine with severe bearing noise; further damage may occur.

• Check drum play: With the door open, lift the inner drum up and down. Excessive movement or roughness indicates bearing wear.
• Spin by hand: Rotate the drum; a grinding or rumbling sound confirms bearing failure.
• Inspect for leaks: Look for rust streaks or water marks at the rear of the tub.
• Repair: On many Indesit washer-dryers, bearing replacement involves splitting the tub and pressing out the old bearings and seal, or replacing the complete tub assembly. This is a complex repair usually best left to a professional.
