Washing Machine Sounds Like Its Washinging Nuts And Bolts

[BigRooster]

my son owns a bosch washing machine and tells me it making a very loud noise while washing .
it doesn't do it all the time through its cycle as i was there the other day and after 1hr 10 mins there was no loud sounds it was just running sweet .
now tonight he sent me a attachment of it making a very loud noise and it sounds like nuts and bolts being washed .
the confusing part its not all the time and not on any perticular cycle .
help needed

loose / damaged bearings on the drum. I had an old Bosch machine that sounded like that and it was the drum bearings.

[bednobs]

it's probably some item in the mechanism - a 5p, a cufflink, a bra underwire

Mine does that, I just pretend I can't hear it and hope the happy pixies fix it.

Has Eddie say's, most likely the drum bearings are on there way out.

Probably some coins have been washed down between the rubber seal and the drum, or as bednobs says a bra wire, which eventually cost me an arm and a leg for a new (Bosch) machine. Get an engineeer in.
