indersit wd12
Washer Dryer has become very noisy on the rinse/spin typically when hitting high speed. It is very old (about 15 years old) so is probably on its last legs but thought i would check if it sounded like an easy/cheap fix. attached a link to a video of the noise from the washer.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit WD12 very noisy on spin and then leaking; replacement advised
- The problem
- An Indesit WD12 washer dryer, around 15 years old, became very noisy during rinse/spin, especially at high speed. Shortly afterwards it was also reported to be leaking from below.
- Likely cause
- The exact fault was not confirmed. The discussion only supports that the machine had a serious mechanical problem, and one reply said that if the noise was coming from the drum it would not be worth repairing at that age.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to replace the appliance rather than repair it, due to its age and the severity of the noise. A later reply said repair could only be assessed by removing the lid and back panel to locate the source of the noise, but no successful repair was documented.
- Checks to try
- Noise occurs on rinse/spin at high speed
- Leak reported from below
- General advice given to identify where the noise was coming from
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Wow that sounds poorly. At 15 years old I would definitely look to replace it. 15 years is way more than average.

just as I posted this, I went back to take another video due to the noise. Its now also leaking from below. You tube video link
Is it time to send it away to a better place?
not worth attempting to fix then
You can always attempt it but how much are you prepared to spend on it? Getting an engineer in is likely to cost £100 or more depending on what parts it needs. If you want to see if it’s anything you can fix yourself you need to take off the lid and back panel and try to work out where the noise is coming from.
I have an article on trying to fix a noisy washing machine which should help to try and find the cause if you carefully go through it. If the noise is coming from the drum it’s definitely not worth fixing at that age.
