Possible Causes

Worn drum bearings, Failed bearing seal allowing water ingress, Bent or damaged drum shaft (spider), Corrosion from detergent or limescale

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Do not continue to use the machine with severe bearing noise; it can cause further damage.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Confirm bearing play: With the door open, spin the drum by hand. Listen for grinding or rumbling. Try lifting the drum up and down; noticeable play indicates bearing wear.
  • Check for leaks at rear: Remove the rear panel and inspect around the drum bearing area for rust streaks or water marks.
  • Plan for major repair: Bearing replacement on many Rosières models requires removing the drum assembly and splitting the tub. This is a complex job needing special tools and often a complete tub-and-drum kit.

Recommendation: Due to the complexity and risk of leaks if not sealed correctly, bearing replacement is best handled by an experienced technician.
