Possible Causes
Worn rear tub bearings, Failed tub shaft seal allowing water into bearings, Damaged Xiaomi drive pulley, Foreign object trapped between drum and tub
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Continued use with grinding noises can cause further damage.
- 1. Spin drum by hand: With the machine off, rotate the drum. Listen for grinding and feel for roughness or play.
- 2. Check for drum play: Gently lift the drum at the front. Excessive vertical movement suggests bearing wear.
- 3. Inspect for foreign objects: Look through drum holes with a flashlight for bra wires or small objects rubbing the tub.
- 4. Bearing replacement: Replacing Xiaomi tub bearings usually requires full tub removal and is a complex repair. Professional service is strongly recommended.
