Broken washing machine?
6 Answers
The band keeps falling off whilst doing the washing, and so the bin doesn't spin! My friend takes the back off and puts it back on, but it always comes off again. Is it time to get a new machine, or can this be repaired by a specialist? Thanks

Or the bearings are worn out or come loose...
If you open the door and grab hold of the inner drum (the shiny metal bit that the washing goes in) and try to wobble it about from side to side and back and forth it should move with a smooth/damped movement, if you can feel any looseness or knocking the bearings have a problem.

Seems like the belt has stretched but also could be needs adjusting simply by moving the motor on its adjustable mounts to tighten it.
While at it change the motor brushes too. Easy to do and will save taking it all apart again soon when it stops spinning!
