My Hotpoint BWD129 washer/dryer has got noisier and noisier during the spin cycles. It is now so loud it is unbearable to be in the same room as it and it rattles anything off the worktop nearby. Any suggestions? The wash cycle and drying cycles are otherwise fine - its just the spin that is particularly noisy. It's 2.5 years old.

bad spider gear,need to replace the washer if it sounds like this

hi.you can try to change the heating element(even it is ok).good luck.

I would say your basket drive is broke. Only when spinning, if it was this, it makes loud noises the whole time it spins, big thumps. This may be your problem. You would have to have someone look at it or call for an estimate. It would probably need replaced.

I have a similar Hotpoint model to this, that does something very similar now and again, usually when trying to set a delayed start.

The only way I have found to "fix" it is to turn the machine off for at least 5 minutes, and then try again.

Hope this helps.

I have the same problem. During the spin cycle, the washer spins all over the room.....very loudly.

a washer dryer has a different approach to cleaning fluff. It has an internal flushing system.. only do routine check on pump filter.

Please provide more details about your appliance. What brand and the age.

my Hotpoint dry will not dry my clothes. It will run for hours and the clothes still haven't dry just felt hot.

Filter blocked, disconnect hose from under sink connection and drain into bucket. Hotpoint does not want you to change filter, contact Service Engineer.

ppr78, couple of things you want to check. The bottom panel on these GE's are pretty flimsy. I have run into a couple where during agitation the bottom of the motor housing would rub against the bottom panel making a terrible noise. You need to remove the front panel by pusing on the clips on the left and right side just under the top. The front panel will pull out. During agitation, take your foot and push down on the bottom panel and see if the screech goes away. I have also found the suspension rod support sockets at the top dry out and make a screeching noise. You also want to check your belt and pully and see if the noise is from there. Check these things first...Catriver..post back.
