How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Do not run the machine if grinding is present.
- Check for foreign objects: Shine a torch through the drum holes and around the door seal area for bra wires or other items. Remove if visible.
- Listen to bearings: Spin the drum by hand. A rumbling or grinding noise usually indicates bearing failure.
- Assess repair viability: Bearing replacement on Teka combos often requires tub removal and sometimes tub splitting. This is a complex repair best left to professionals.
Warning: Continued use with failed bearings can damage the tub and motor and may lead to leaks.
