Indesit washing machine drum loose and belt thrown off
- The problem
- The inner drum was reported as completely loose and wobbling inside the machine. The four suspension springs were said to be in place, the motor was thought to be okay, and the drive belt had fallen off.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply said the most likely cause was collapsed drum bearings or a broken drum. This was presented as a probable diagnosis rather than a confirmed strip-down finding.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was that repair was probably not worthwhile, especially as many machines have sealed drum assemblies that are expensive and a major job to replace. No confirmed DIY repair or completed fix was reported.
- Checks to try
- Suspension springs checked and reported in place
- Motor reported okay
- Drive belt had fallen off
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If the drum inside is all loose and it threw the belt off it sounds like the drum bearings have collapsed or the drum is broken. Probably not worth repairing to be honest. Many washing machines have sealed drums which are expensive to buy and a very big job to fit.
