Hotpoint Aqualtis AQGMD 129 noisy on spin due to loose front tub weight
- The problem
- The Hotpoint Aqualtis AQGMD 129 washer dryer was very noisy during spin cycles.
- Likely cause
- A loose tub weight, confirmed by the original poster as the front tub weight.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to unplug the appliance, remove the top and check for loose tub weights by shaking the tub and inspecting the weights. The original poster confirmed the front tub weight was the cause and that it was sorted. A further suggestion was given that if it works loose again, threadlock could be applied to the weight fixings when retightening, taking care not to overtighten.
- Checks to try
- Checked for noise source by shaking the tub with the appliance unplugged
- Inspected tub weights for looseness
- Identified the front tub weight as loose
- Parts or tools mentioned
- front tub weight
- Loctite
Safety: Unplug the appliance before removing panels or checking for loose components. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It could be a loose tub weight. See if you can track it down by making it noisy - unplug it, take the top off and shake the tub around or check to see if any of the weights are loose. Also check out this article which gives lots of possible causes of noises
It sounds like something somewhere is loose.

Thank you. You were 100% correct it was the front tub weight. All sorted
Thank you so much for you help
Nice one
If it comes loose again you will need to do something to stop it working loose. Undo the nuts enough to get loctite on the thread and try that. You have to tighten them firmly but must be careful not to over tighten because it can snap the bolt or break the (often) plastic housing the bolt is slotted through.
