[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 374931, member: 16173"] UK Whitegoods forum is your best bet. Spin the drum by hand and "feel" for any bearing grating/noise. The older Bosch models had proper shocks to support the drum - the newer ones not so sure. As for still wet the pump motors seize easily with things like bra wires, coins, screws etc. I'd whip the back off and have a look. Put some towels down. Check the waste pipe isn't blocked too which is very common. Take it off the pump via the clip and have a poke with a bit of stiff wire etc. On the subject of Bosch you'd think you can't go wrong, BUT............seem to recall reading that a few years back they bought an ailing Spanish manufacturer and their cheaper models are now stamped "Made in the EU" rather than "Made in Germany"and maybe not so good. .......and just fount this too, aside from the waste pipe side seems there's a specific drain plug: [URL="http://howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=219129"]http://howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=219129[/URL] [/QUOTE]
