Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance.
- Check drum play: With the door open, lift the drum up and down. Excessive movement or grinding noises indicate bearing wear.
- Spin by hand: Rotate the drum manually. Roughness, scraping, or rumbling confirms bearing issues.
- Assess repair viability: On many Zanussi washer-dryer combos, bearing replacement requires splitting or replacing the entire tub assembly.
- Replace tub/bearing assembly: If proceeding, remove the drum and fit a new rear tub with bearings and seal, or a complete tub assembly as specified for your model.
Because this is a complex and time-consuming repair, many users choose professional service or replacement of the appliance.
